I Hate War! How can I be guilty? - Fifteen Eighty Four | Cambridge University Press

Before Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, many Ukrainians didn’t believe it would happen. When it did, Ukraine immediately declared a general mobilization-and a mass of Ukrainians who had been following peaceful occupations quickly got ready to fight.

James Graham's 'Dear England' does a great job of showing how to turn the lonely task of penalty-taking into a group responsibility. Team-building, nation-building, leadership--its political relevance could hardly be clearer. Joseph Fiennes is uncannily good as Gareth Southgate!

William Blake's Hecate. Hecate was an #AncientGreek goddess, a complex and ambivalent deity associated with crossroads, entranceways, magic, night, the moon, ghosts, graves, poisonous plants & healing herbs. The yew tree - a symbol of both life & death - was sacred to her. #WilliamBlake #gothic #mythology #folklore #Romanticism #art

A very happy birthday to the ever-beguiling and brilliant William Blake, born #onthisday in 1757.

Pictured here, his depiction of the biblical story of Jacob's Dream. One of several Blake prints for sale in our online shop: https://publicdomainreview.org/shop/fine-art-prints/artist/william-blake #otd #williamblake #art #illustration #dreams #religion #prints
