"The Gospels portray Jesus not just as a teacher or miracle worker, but also as someone unafraid to challenge unjust systems. From flipping tables in the temple (Matthew 21:12-13) to calling out religious hypocrisy (Matthew 23:13-36), Jesus confronted both spiritual and societal corruption head-on."

Cultural appropriation is here to stay.

If we live in multicultural societies and engage in a globalised digital village that plays host to cultural forms from around the world, why do accusations of ‘cultural appropriation’ still abound?

Outside of North America the concept of ‘cultural appropriation’ barely makes sense. Most countries are overwhelmingly monolithic ethnically and culturally. Most never had segregation laws.

Je me demande si en plus d'essayer de publier petit à petit mes écrits et photos + faire un portefolio je devrais pas simplement faire des articles de #blog avec les projets #photo sur lesquels j'ai travaillé sur la période et le résultat de celles dont l'édition sur #lightroom est finie, pour garder le site actif quand je fais le gros travail d'arrière plan ! :) #portfolio #photographie #photographe #wordpress #postproduction #editionphoto #article #artiste #siteweb

“_It is the only site in the Near East or around the Mediterranean—indeed, in the entire world—where a sequence of purple-dye workshops has been excavated and which has clear evidence for large-scale, sustained manufacture of purple dye and dyeing in a specialized facility for half a millennium, during the Iron Age (ca. 1100–600 BCE)._”

doi.orgTel Shiqmona during the Iron Age: A first glimpse into an ancient Mediterranean purple dye ‘factory’Purple-dyed textiles, primarily woolen, were much sought after in the Ancient Near East and the Mediterranean, and they adorned the powerful and wealthy. It is commonly assumed that in antiquity, purple dye—extracted from specific species of marine mollusks—was produced in large quantities and in many places around the Mediterranean. But despite numerous archaeological excavations, direct and unequivocal evidence for locales of purple-dye production remains very limited in scope. Here we present Tel Shiqmona, a small archaeological tell on Israel’s Carmel coast. It is the only site in the Near East or around the Mediterranean—indeed, in the entire world—where a sequence of purple-dye workshops has been excavated and which has clear evidence for large-scale, sustained manufacture of purple dye and dyeing in a specialized facility for half a millennium, during the Iron Age (ca. 1100–600 BCE). The number and diversity of artifacts related to purple dye manufacturing are unparalleled. The paper focuses on the various types of evidence related to purple dye production in their environmental and archaeological contexts. We utilize chemical, mineralogical and contextual analyses to connect several categories of finds, providing for the first time direct evidence of the instruments used in the purple-dye production process in the Iron Age Levant. The artifacts from Shiqmona also serve as a first benchmark for future identification of significant purple-dye production sites around the Mediterranean, especially in the Iron Age.

THE RANGER #Review

Perfectly passable Forest horror that makes its low budget work for it. If Larry Fessenden isn't in an indie horror movie, did it ever get made?

AI Is Dead

"AI does not see what we see. It has no personality, no creativity. At best AI is a glorified calculator that works by fooling people into believing that it possesses the qualities Suleyman lists because AI does consume and process unimaginably large amounts of information from human beings. Unlike Suleyman’s claim, though, computers don’t have any real understanding of the data they generate."
