#stop oil

A protest planned around interrupting les miserables is based as hell, actually. And if you think watching performative demonstration is more important than an actual demonstration, you might have missed the entire point

The problem with the organizations targeting key historical artworks to protest climate change is that they chose to aim precisely the wrong crowd. The folks who value art are not exactly of the thoughtless variety who don't care about the planet and future generations, on the contrary. That's EXACTLY why these actions are absolutely senseless. In a human world full of ugliness, of hopelessness, art counters this by enriching it with beauty and hope. That's how art saves the world, even if an artwork is not meant to protest injustice, that doesn't mean it's meaningless. Art is one of the only evidences of our humanity, of our heart, of our organic nature, of our connection to other living beings, of our capability of achieving great things and THAT is important for future generations TOO. It's humanity's source of spirituality. What we do to our planet is wrong, but so is this. 2 wrongs don't make one right. To think that the end justifies the means is what the most atrocious people in history have agreed on. If you are capable of spray painting something that came out of someone's soul, something that GIVES our world soul, I highly doubt you are a good person, even if you don't damage it. If you want to raise awareness, I beg you to find more creative and less lazy ways to do it.

Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested after smashing the glass covering the iconic Rokeby Venus by Diego Velázquez at the National Gallery in London.

This is getting exasperating.

What's that quote that says if a protest is palatable, convenient, and comfortable, it's a parade? Something along those lines?

A Birds is for Life?

Colourful bows arch across the sky, scything wings underflow, silhouettes of glorious won freedoms, neath them the city’s traffic hums: —— Bounty of joy subsumed in oily residues, taunting the gasping, asthmatic child, while black gold, a grim poison now spoiling fresh air, polluting the earth. —– Nightly the owls hoot their warning call, making their message clear to all but humans…

Too many are still in denial!

I agree with the stop oil protestors, but I'd have said open the bridge up.

I'd have closed the lane under them at most, but if you want to take the risk for your protests. Take the risk.

I thought that the "stop oil" guys were referring to like oil paintings

soooo i've been real busy this past month and change working on this monster of a painting! it was originally for the GO Ref library study club but clearly took much longer than i anticipated😅

for those of you who don't recognize it, this is based on one of my favorite historical paintings, Judith Beheading Holofernes (1620) by Artemisia Gentileschi. i love the Baroque period and this painting (as well as her other works) makes me insane. here it is Good Omens style so maybe all of you can be insane with me <3

"Aziraphale (and Crowley) Beheading the Metatron"
