Absolutely delightful. Thank you NS.
Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Why?

Just not the sort of things I would wish to have on my walls, much of it is pretty creepy, imo.

I wouldn't want Hieronymus Bosch on my walls, but, that doesn't of itself invalidate the art or indeed make me think that it is in some way "bad art".

I didn't say it was bad art, just not to my taste.
