  1. Heute hat meine Bekannte eine automatisch generierte Mail von Tasso bekommen das Ihre Katze wieder aufgetaucht sei - vier Minuten später bekam sie von #Tasso eine automatisch generierte Mail das es einen #Besitzerwechsel bei dem Tier gegeben hätte. Sie hat sich daraufhin mit Tasso in Verbindung gesetzt und darauf bestanden das sie einem Besitzerwechsel nicht zustimmen würde. (2v3)

    Nicholas Poussin -- Rinaldo and Armida -- 1628/30 -- Dulwich Picture Gallery

    >> The subject of the painting comes from the 1581 epic poem Gerusalemme Liberata by Torquato Tasso (1544-95). The poem is set at the time of the First Crusade, at the end of the eleventh century, and follows the tale of fighting Christians and Saracens. In this scene, the Saracen sorceress Armida moves to kill the sleeping crusader Rinaldo. Just as she is about to strike, however, she falls in love with the Christian hero. << (Dulwich Picture Gallery)

    I've been engrossed in Richard Wollheim's account of this picture in "Painting as an Art". I won't attempt here to summarize his argument, but will instead jump to his conclusion, "that for Poussin the victory of reason over concupiscence is achieved through reason borrowing the resources of concupiscence. For him the defeat of desire by reason is experienced as the victory of one kind of desire over another."

    This understanding of the picture is close to my own approach to thinking about ethics and value, one that owes much to Hume's description of reason as a slave to the passions. Wollheim, however, does not present an argument about metaethics; instead, he invites us join with him at looking deeply into the picture and follow his argument about how we see a picture, how a knowledge of other pictures might help us better understand this one, and how the picture can be both informed by an understanding of psychology and also enrich that understanding.

    Some of Wollheim's claims in "Painting as an Art" strike me as tenuously supported conjectures, but his attention to the paintings themselves always excites me. His writing makes me long to go back to the pictures themselves, this stimulus being a sign of good writing about art.

    I've written about a closely related scene from Tasso before as represented by....

  3. Jedes Jahr sterben Hunde durch Unwissenheit oder Gedankenlosigkeit qualvoll in heißen Autos. Deshalb hat #TASSO die Kampagne „#Hund im Backofen“ ins Leben gerufen, um Tierhalter:innen auf dieses Thema aufmerksam zu machen. Auf dieser Seite stellen wir die Kampagne näher vor und geben Ihnen hilfreiche rechtliche Tipps und Informationen darüber, was sie tun können, wenn der überhitzte Hund einen Hitzschlag erlitten hat.

    Und das sehe ich genauso wie #Tasso. Alle wundern sich, wieso nix aufm Land los ist. Aber es wird ja auch nix gemacht dagegen. Die #IBUG ist ein Meeraner Projekt. Hier gestartet. In meinem 14k Einwohner Kaff. Und hier gibt es genug industriegeprägte Käffer und Ruinen. Da braucht man keine Großstadt dazu. Die Szene geht halt in ihren #safespace Großstadt und nicht nach draußen. Schade!

  7. He thinks that he has a #Tasso tag on him. My partner, myself and another neighbour have been doing all we can to try and find him. We assume he's been chipped but there has been no response from vets or Tasso that we know of, so presumably, whoever took him, hasn't.... 3/5
