Just spent some time checking out this artist's website, and there are a lot more like this. Really impressive that they can communicate this thing in this way, which I don't think I will do justice with words. but something like primal and primate instinct and security. Maybe something about our social nature and survival. I'm taking those orbs to be breastish. Really love the weird little alien face, little kids are so cute but their weird little alien minds are strange to watch working, and I guess probably all of us are like that, we're better at lying about it. I don't know if I'm making sense and I guess it doesn't matter 🤣

If that comes to pass then the #IranWar would be justified as a War or #Necessity and not of War of Choice. That changes the entire equation. Entire group of countries who have hitherto silently opposed #IranWar and carried out actions which limit #US options will shift into silent support or active help.
That is not the worse part, #Israel might push for a balkanisation of #Iran and have its way.

Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.
