Coincidentally found in the loose change in my pocket - a £2 coin commemorating the passing of the act to abolish the slave trade throughout the British Empire in 1807.
"Trade" is an important word there - shockingly, it was another 26 years before slavery itself was abolished across the Empire with the Slavery Abolition Act.

Have a great week!
Connie is actually number 9 in my 100 Strangers Project, but I definitely count her as a friend now.
I met her earlier this month when I popped into her vintage store to get some wild 70's clothes for a party Mr. Zoom and I were going to.
Connie is a POSITIVE person, always smiling. I asked her why and she said because she is doing what she's always loved. And she is GOOD at it. She likes people and fashion and all kinds of vintage things. I could have chatted with her for hours....we became fast friends.
You know that I've lost some pics, and one of them was hers. I went back the other day and got more...this time with her patient dog.
Connie, if you are reading this....THANKS!!!
(Mr. Zoom wore a ruffled tux shirt I bought from her, and I got a silver sparkly definitely-seventies-long pant-dress.A huge success!)

Just a couple of days back I ventured into one of the city's bird sanctuaries wherein I found this herd raging the road. The guys looked confident and ready to face the new day ahead.
When this installation was first on view, many have questioned what it was intended to mean. The words “Same but not equal” was painted in all caps on top of a collage of Thai newspaper “khaosod” on linen canvas. The panel was placed on top of two piles of Thai rice. Although the pile of rice appears the same, one pile of rice is ordinary rice and the other, apparently, is premium export-grade Thai jasmine rice.
To one art blog Blouin Art Info [1], it is a commentary about ABHK, where Art Basel Hong Kong, though featuring many of the same galleries seen Art Basel Switzerland and Art Basel Miami, is in many ways different than their counterparts given the type of art works being shown in comparison.
To me, it is a commentary on a larger issue where news media speak of the same kind of political news though their analysis and content is highly different.
Art is up to all kinds of interpretation. I have no idea if the artist created this piece specifically for ABHK, if so then perhaps that does have some validity. It is interesting nevertheless, though I would most certainly not pay 100-150k USD for it which is apparently the asking price for this work [2].
