Yes, now it’s mashed potatoes on a Monet. - “We are in a climate catastrophe science tells us that we won’t be able to feed our families in 2050. This painting is not going to be worth anything if we have to fight over food. When will you start to listen?” theguardian.com/environment/…

Rope is dope!….Egyptian Late Period (664-336 BC) yes, some things never change in material culture but i am still amazed at the power of seeing and alighting our imagination with artifacts from ancient history! #museum
Activism is our new leader of change? The “Lights Off” movement has never been more relevant than today, with France moving toward what President Emmanuel Macron called a new era of energy “sobriety.” A team of activists turn off needless lights at night. nytimes.com/2022/10/13/world…
Egyptian cast bronze Cat, t (c. 2925–c. 2775 bce), Mafdet was the first known cat-headed deity in ancient Egypt. During the First Dynasty, she was regarded as protector of the pharaoh's chambers against snakes, scorpions and you know…general lurking evil. #Cat #CatsofTwittter
