@jlfreeman6: This powerful image is made from the names of Uyghur writers, poets, and intellectuals who have disappeared into China's internment camps for Muslims. I know so many people on this list. I think of them every day.

@jasonhickel: "Ultimately, what we call 'the economy' is the material expression of our relationship with each other and with the rest of the living world. Do we want it be a relationship of extraction and exploitation, or a relationship of reciprocity and care? That's the question."

@xujnx: The coffin bears the largest number of filial-son stories (10) on a single object known to us from 6 c. This emphasis on the theme of family reverence reflects Yuan Rong's virtue as extolled in the epitaph: "his nature shows perfect filial piety ...devoted to serving the elders." https://t.co/zoQevNMrP5

@iingwen: China's disregard for the will of Hong Kongโs people proves that โone country, two systemsโ is not viable. Many things have changed in #HongKong since 1997, but #Taiwanโs commitment to supporting those #HKers who want freedom & democracy has never changed. #StandWithHongKong https://t.co/1eZBJ46g4e

@xujnx: 10th-c Buddha statue emerging from a giant rock surrounded by water, typical of Buddhist rock-cut art in South China, where the fusion of sacred images and landscape was much appreciated by Daoist-minded scholars who sought spiritual refuge and inner peace amid mountains & lakes. https://t.co/Tx2IXS9ZC8

@jasonhickel: While billionaires are milking this crisis, global poverty is rising, and the poorest 50% are losing up to $4.4 billion in income *each day*. The devastation is staggering, and, with a fairer distribution of income, completely avoidable. https://t.co/uufzKYMXAb
@emswam It is a beautifully written piece. The images you chose to include were also very nice. Thank you !! ๐

@ireneplus_ltd: The erection of #Buddhistic constructions here has been occurred at the flourishing period of #KushanEmpire, government of #Kanishka and #Khuvishka. The expansion of Buddhism was the reason of erection of the two types of Buddhist cultural constructions - underground and overhead https://t.co/yKcAA7g9QX

@xujnx: Here're a couple of objects which help to pin down the close connections of the city (Pingcheng, today Datong) with Eurasian world. First, as a people originating on the steppe, the Xianbei nobility got their nomadic way of life painted in their tombs: yurts, tent carts, BBQ ... https://t.co/Nr6dHL6ZZg

@xujnx: My posts on Shimao attracted a bit attention. In fact, also on the east edge of the steppe, in 6th c AD, arose a city which can be truly called the first cosmopolitan metropolis in Chinese history. It's the capital city of Northern Wei, founded by proto-Mongolian Xianbei people. https://t.co/R6MdG1fkky
