È meglio viaggiare leggeri, chiedersi sempre se qualcosa valga il tempo che ci si impiega a farla, e ballare ogni tanto. Anche da soli, di notte, quando si sente una bella musica.

È uscito il numero 176 de Il Pensiero Lungo, “Cinquantuno”.

Today the #ChurchofEngland commemorates Edward the Confessor, who died (memorably) in 1066. 🕯️ And do I have manuscripts for you! #medievalsky 🧵

Here's William of Malmesbury, my historian boyfriend, relating Edward's accession in 1042, in the late-12th-c. manuscript BNF lat. 6047.

That I too, am made of Iron. So here I sit-
and here I remember, that although a docile thing- My heart is a blast furnace'

Pistyll Rhaeadr in #Powys, the highest waterfall in England and Wales. The natural arch is a particularly attractive feature. Legend has it this was formerly the lair of a #dragon: a giant flying serpent called a gwybr. A ruse involving a menhir and a lot of spikes destroyed it.

A waterfall. two ribbons of white water cascade over a narrow precipice.

Further down the waterfall, the water passes through and natural arch in the rock.

🧪🦣🏺 Strong criticisms of recent study claiming super-ancient origin forlineage leading to H. sapiens, which is contradicted by DNA that points strongly to a last common ancestor more like 600,000 years ago rather than +1 million.
Also, geopolitics & nationalism often intersect with #HumanOrigins

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.
