@kiers Wonderful!

Painted on a very hot day when the paint was drying so fast that I didn’t get nice smooth blends, but I’m still very happy with the result. Finished with 23 carat gold leaf.

Inspiration came from drawing traditional Celtic knots.

@kiers Happy anniversary to you both!

The idea of selling indulgences - the right to sin, for a price - has been controversial for the past 500+ years, since Jan Hus's condemnation of the practice. And yet here we are, in the age of #CarbonOffsets, where forgiveneess for torching the planet is for sale. 1/

As bombs fell on Ukraine’s towns and cities in the first week of the invasion, the Ukrainian government still made a scheduled interest payment to its private lenders on time. Its lenders — IMF, World Bank, banks, and hedge funds—are all queuing up to collect their debts. 🧵

Evening all,

We have tracked some of the major global developments and social issues of our time in recent issues---the COVID-19 pandemic, the environmental crisis. And then events overtake us from leftfield...

14 year ago, the world's financial system came to the brink of collapse. Central banks scrambled to react. Businesses shuttered. People lost their homes. Many governments fell. Faith in our institutions shattered. The Occupy movement was launched. So was Bitcoin. 1/

@kiers I love my A7c, very impressed with it!

I have an exhibition on next week! Opening Tuesday 8th Feb 7-9 pm and then open daily until 13th February. The work is all from the last few years where I’ve been working with themes of economic justice and the potential for change. More info at https://t.co/xvivFMxme7

The Obama administration's most consequential decision was to address the Great Financial Crisis by bailing out the finance sector, rather than borrowers. 1/

@FatRoland @qwertyphob Domino says hi!

We know a lot of indies are really feeling this just now, a bruising start the year.

REMINDER: Money spent with local biz stays local & has a far greater impact than through chains or online- Especially with ethically minded indies, #SocialEnterprise & co-ops.

We need you! 1/🧵

@fakedansavage I think it says that you guys are normal inasmuch as you're falling victim to the "peak indifference" trap - where it's easy to ignore the problems with something that works well but fails badly, until those failures mount to a point where you can't ignore them anymore.

[Lou Davis @loudavis]

@FatRoland I’m up for this!

[Lou Davis @loudavis]

@baritoneuk Yes ten years now! The PhD is in theology, economics and art - a weird mix but I’m finding it fascinating :)

[Lou Davis @loudavis]

@baritoneuk I’m good thanks, we live in Edinburgh now so less likely to bump into you - and I’m an artist and PhD student.

The world's economy ground to a halt during the pandemic as millions died, production slowed or stopped altogether, and the resulting supply chain disruptions made many essential products and services impossible to deliver. 1/
