Here we have the Emigrant savings bank next to an army recruitment center. Somehow I found this humorful in a bad way.
This is, honest to God, the State Artifact of Alabama, from 800+ years ago... OR it's something made in prison in the 1970s. Either or.

Dr. Jatinder Baidwan, chief coroner, has released the following statement regarding the decision to direct an inquest into the events that occurred in Tumbler Ridge on Feb. 10, 2026:
“On the afternoon of Feb. 10, 2026, an entire community was forever changed and multiple families who call Tumbler Ridge home received the catastrophic news that their loved ones had lost their lives.
“The news that an individual had killed two adults and six children in a private residence and a local secondary school quickly spread across national and international media. With that, came passionate public discussions about mental health and possible gaps in support systems.
“It is with this in mind that I have reflected on the BC Coroners Service’s responsibility to reinforce confidence in the system and support public safety in British Columbia when it comes to all sudden, unnatural and unexpected deaths, and all children’s deaths.
“That is why, pursuant to Section 18 of the Coroners Act, I am directing a coroner’s inquest to publicly review the circumstances that led to nine individuals losing their lives in Tumbler Ridge on Feb. 10.
“An inquest will provide an independent and transparent forum to publicly examine the circumstances surrounding the deaths, assess systemic and procedural issues, and make evidence-based recommendations aimed at preventing similar incidents in the future. Importantly, it will involve the participation of the people in British Columbia through a jury of five to seven people.
“My sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to the families who have lost their loved ones. The grief they are experiencing at this time is unimaginable. The BC Coroners Service will continue to work with the families and the community of Tumbler Ridge to make sure their needs are met and their questions answered.
“An announcement with more details about the timing of the inquest will be provided once our investigative phase is concluded.”

I am a chocolate chip cookie. This iconic American sweet reflects me almost too well. Like the cookie, I come in many varieties; I can be sweet, bitter, soft or crispy. I can be complimented by milk or nuts, but can also be best alone.
In the past, my work focused on communicating my internal thoughts. Since coming to Japan three years ago, my art has evolved to reflect both how I fit into my environment and my search for cultural identity. I find inspiration in the things I experience and choose a material that will best express my idea; often working spontaneously in bursts of creative energy.
My work tells a story about me, a cookie, who has inhabited a land of Wagashi.
私はチョコレートチップクッキー。このアメリカを象徴するお菓子は私自身をとてもよく表しています。このクッキーのように、私にはいろいろな面があります。時には甘く、時には苦く、柔らかかったり、カリカリだったり。ミルクやナッツと一緒に摂ってもおいしいですが、そのままが一番おいしかったりもします。
今までの私の作品は、主に内面的な考えを表すことに主力を置いてきました。三年前に日本に来てから、私の作品は、自分自身が周りの環境にどのように適応するかということと、自分自身の文化的アイデンティティの探究の両面を反映することへとシフトしてきました。私が日本で経験したことをインスピレーションに、自らの考えを最も良く表す素材を選び、創造力の赴くままに仕上げたものが多くあります。
この個展は和菓子の国に住むクッキー、私の物語です。

For a bold and dramatic statement, go for Tribe earrings that are inspired by the rich tribal heritage of our country. In fact, tribal-inspired earrings is one accessory that is evergreen and versatile in its appeal. One can match it with Indian or western wear and even style it casually or even with festive attire. The distinct quality of tribal earrings from Tribe is that every single piece is intricately handcrafted and has unmatched detailing in its motifs. Indeed a jewellery box must have!
Flowers, fish, peacocks, charms, lotus, crescent, paisley, embossed figurines, gods and goddesses along with geometric patterns sit happily in oxidized silver or silver-plated alloy for an antique old-world charm. We also have some quirky tribal styles in collaboration with Masaba Gupta. Our Shiva-inspired collection features designs like serpent, nandi, dagger and mantra earrings taken from the repertoire of imagery associated with one of the most loved and revered gods in India. Many of tribal earrings in our collection are embellished with gemstones, enamel work, mirrors or coloured glass. A few styles have hair chains added for a more stunning effect.
Stay tuned with new and upcoming jewellery collections from Tribe by subscribing to our newsletter and/or Instagram page. Know more in detail about Tribal Jewellery

Curatorial Statement
Diaspora Climate brings together diverse climates, cultures, languages, histories, memories, feelings, perspectives, and connections through personal experiences and artistic expressions, linking an affinity with both natural environments and cultural dispositions. Human beings are as sensitive to displacement and transplantation as plants and animals. Diaspora Climate signals the ethical and emotional bonds diasporic people hold with the climatic pressures affecting them both “here” and “there”, including struggles, suffering, and the shared fate of the world and planet Earth.
The exhibition features work by four artists: Sara Angelucci (Toronto), Teresa Chan (Toronto), Ma Yongfeng (Berlin), and Rehab Nazzal (occupied West Bank, Palestine). Their works respond to relationships with particular places, cultures, histories, climates, and environments, while also addressing ongoing afflictions of social and environmental violence, driven by brutal global capitalism, colonialism, and arbitrary state apparatuses. These forces bring wars, relentless exploitation, and the dispossession of living space and life for both nature and people, intensifying the Climate Crisis. The voices and gestures that artists share through their works are ripples of Global Diaspora Solidarity.
The Japanese word fudo (Chinese and Japanese Kanji: ??) is translated as “climate,” yet its meaning extends beyond meteorological conditions. It signifies the inseparable and mutually formative relationship among seasons, climate, nature, and modes of human life and sensibility in a particular place, culture, and its history. A related Chinese saying, ????????, expresses a similar idea: that the soil and waters of a given land nurture the distinctive dispositions of its people. In this sense, fudo (????) is comparable to the ancient Greek concept of chorographia, which refers to the description or mapping of a specific region or country, emphasizing local features, history, natural history, and culture, in contrast to geography, which sought to describe the world as a whole. Chorographia suggests that the topography, natural environment, and social and political structures of a particular area are interconnected.[1] fudo (????) is still embodied in East Asian perceptions of the world and in their aesthetic–climatic sensibilities, whereas in the modern Western world, a scientific divide tends to separate and dominate human relationships with nature.
When the modern Japanese philosopher Tetsuro Watsuji (1889–1960) brought the traditional East Asian concept of fudo (??) into dialogue with Western scientific notions of “climate” and “environment,” he understood climate not merely as a natural phenomenon. Rather, he argued that human existence, history, and climate are inseparable. In a climatic register, humans apprehend themselves and shape both individual and collective sensibilities. Therefore, social, cultural, and political transformation depends upon the transformation of climatic culture; as it changes, the customs and habits of a people change accordingly (????). Furthermore, Watsuji suggests that diaspora, those who have left and become distanced from their homeland, and the “other,” who does not fully belong to a given climatic culture, may grasp a climate and fudo (??) in a uniquely profound and nuanced way, one that is often more reflective and thought-provoking.[2]
Diaspora holds an acute and incisive political position from which to question and reinterpret the relationship between climate and culture. It activates each individual as a micro-center, responsible for addressing issues of climate change and for pursuing climate and social justice.
Diaspora refuses to be fixed to a single position. Carried on in migration and drifting, diaspora lives simultaneously inside and outside of “home” and “homelessness,” being here (displaced and adopted) and there (exiled and distanced). As writer Yoko Tawada, who writes in both Japanese and German, argues, diaspora refuses to be integrated into a dominant language and culture and denied parts of themselves, such as accent and one’s history and cultural memory. Meanwhile, diaspora also flies from the cocoon of the mother tongue and journeys into adventurous encounters with other tongues, creating new communities rather than being bound to predetermined communities or fixed identities (2025).[3]
We cannot talk about climate change or social and environmental justice without confronting the ongoing genocide and ecocide in Palestine, the environmental disaster following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the erasure of Indigenous communities and forests in the Amazon and elsewhere—all exemplify the devastating consequences of global environmental and social injustices.[4] In particular, I believe, we cannot talk about anything, any change, and any future, if we avoid looking at and talking about Palestine: what has been happening to its people and land under an increasingly brutal Apartheid system of genocide, ecocide, siege and elimination of eco-human life and culture, imposed by a fully techno-weaponized modern state.
Once a terrible world is born through the deprivation, exploitation, and killing of one group of people by another—as in Nazism, colonialism, Apartheid, or dictatorship—its psyche, ideology, and whole mechanism continue to evolve and contaminate the world. It therefore becomes the obligation of everyone, and particularly of critical and creative minds, to resist it and to fight for justice and the rights of every being, human and non-human, with unwavering attention and sustained effort.
We should rethink our dear and precious life and world from the position of “bare life,” which designates the victims of the violence of sovereign power who are deprived of their rights to live as full human beings in every sense.[5] The deprived, abused, and threatened cherish the precious life more deeply; they preserve and shine the light of dignity of life more radiantly; and they hold tight to the faith in justice more adamantly. They are more human, and more humanly, than the abusers and those who support, tolerate, or comply with them. They fight for life with all their means; they fight for life with life itself. They fight for humanity. The “qualified life,” secured by killing others and by imposing segregation and deprivation, is not true life. Instead, it is soulless slavery that abandons humanity and being human together with other human and nonhuman beings.

[1] The ancient Greek term chorographia (or chorography) derives from khoros, meaning place or region, and graphia, meaning writing or drawing. The term appears in the work Geography by the ancient Greek geographer Strabo and later reemerged during the Renaissance, notably in Athanasius Kircher’s Mundus subterraneus.
