Mater’s Musings #13: The Art of Two Socialisms
For a change of pace, let’s put Covid-19 aside and turn our attention to the subject of Art. God knows this place could do with some refinement…Arky now appears to have posting rights!

It’s with no sense of satisfaction that I note the materialisation of my prediction on the old Cat.
