For anyone who might need to hear/see this TED talk by Amie McNee

The Case for Making Art when the World is on Fire

I'd add, IMHO, this also applies to appreciating, buying & selling art. Do what you do for others, but also do it for you  

It's also okay if you aren't creating any art at the moment, creativity has its own rhythms & flows. Sometimes you create, sometimes you appreciate, sometimes you do both, sometimes you need a break.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of these two facts:

1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.

Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

In a serious gain in efficiency, a Space X Starship prototype has exploded without actually being launched.
They're next plan is to see if they can produce an explosion during the assembly process.
