I have uploaded this Christian image on a night when iconography, blasphemy and the clash of religions is raging across the world. Is freedom of expression more important than respect for other religions. Can a responsibility be global? Christianity has a long and tortured history of violence, subjugation of rights and the belittlement of non-believers. Where do we go from here?

1,000+ people protested against the Government's controversial proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill at Devonshire Green in Sheffield.
The proposed Bill includes proposals that would give police and the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests on grounds of “serious annoyance or inconvenience” which if you’re a government minister could mean all of them.
It’s a serious erosion of civil liberties and democratic rights.

Media Release
Palestine Action Group Canberra (PAGC) - campaigning for freedom, justice and equality in Palestine - and Canberra Palestine and Climate Justice Group (CPCJC) are appalled at the censorship of the Palestinian flag in an Indigenous art installation at the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) and are rallying against it at 1pm today.
The groups say censorship of artwork or any nation’s flag is unacceptable, and censorship of the Palestinian flag while the Palestinian people are enduring a genocide is particularly distasteful.
“Once censorship starts, it is the beginning of the end, because if an institution can censor, particularly on such spurious grounds, there is no logical reason why you would censor one thing and not another,” says CPCJC’s Dr Tamara Kayali Browne.
“Even if you are not passionate about the struggle for Palestinian liberation, everyone has an interest in opposing this censorship, because if this is permitted, it sets a very bad precedent and we could all be censored.
“The NGA’s justification for censorship is patently absurd, as the flag consists of a piece of cloth, and a piece of cloth cannot possibly threaten anyone’s security.”
This censorship goes against the NGA’s own stance that,
“Art is for all of us. It allows us to see the world in ways that expand our minds, provoke our ideas, ignite our imaginations. At the National Gallery we strive for cultural experiences that surprise, that disrupt convention, that deepen our understanding of the human condition and the world we live in.”
It appears the NGA needs to correct its statement to read “except for Palestine”.
The artwork is a celebration of anti-colonial struggles. It is not ethically or logically coherent to allow expression of one anti-colonial struggle and not another.

One side is made from a blue TRUMP banner ("Keep America Great") and the other from a white version. Sandwiched in-between is heavy black plastic to add bulk and all-weather support for the fabric text. Holding the blue banner together the text above the "Keep America..." reads its preamble "Thank you for working so hard to."
One interpretation is that the normal rule some local governments have about removing political campaign material from one's property within 3 weeks of the election result lead to feelings of offense by a passing motorist or neighbor to this piece of highway-facing ground. A disgruntled person or persons did violence to the text. A bit more imaginative interpretation is that is is a kind of artisitic expression in which the banner is symbolic of the harm caused by the Highest Elected Official whose lack of initiative and leadership led to rampant transmission of the Covid virus and the wake of business and human death left behind.
Judging from the clean, sharp cut lines, this is not caused by strong weather from winter and spring, but rather by a keen blade.

The protest against flickrs and yahoos' narcistic behaviour during this past week, has gone a very successful way.
If the protest activities would fade by now, it would be amassive rongly taken signal.
Proposal:
After the accordingly phantastic and very creative Protest- pics were able to claim a safe playe in flickrs promotionally affective "Explore/ Interestingness" feature- sign, now there could just follow a mellow, monocrome grey.
It will - once again- take hours of faving, tagging, writing notes and comments-
but just the imagination of taking the content off flickr for a while, which made the Site to all it is right now, should be worth a second round......
המחאה נגד ההתנהגות הנרקסיסטית של פליקר ויאהו בשבוע האחרון מצליחה לאט לאט להזיז דברים.
אם דווקא עכשיו העניין יתחיל לדעוך, חבל על המאמץ של כולם...
הרעיון הוא כזה:
בעקבות ההצלחה של כמה מתמונות המחאה שנוצרו והועלו בימים האחרונים להגיע לעמודים של אקספלור, שכפי שידוע לכולנו הם גולת הכותרת של האתר הזה, הוחלט ולנסות להפוך את אותם עמודים לאפורים ומשעממים.
בשביל להצליח, צריך שכמה שיותר אנשים יגיבו, יוסיפו תגיות, יוסיפו לפייבוריטס וכו' תמונות כמו זו, וגם ייצרו כאלה משלהם עד שהנקודה סופסוף תועבר.
לריבועים האפורים שאתם מעלים בעצמכם שימו לינק בעמוד הזה ובעמודים של האחרים עם אותן תמונות כדי שהעניין יתפשט.
