When engineers discovered that traditional rock salt was poisoning wildlife during the harshest months, they did something incredible. What they came up with is so brilliantly simple, yet so effective, that other countries are now taking notice. This is what happens when innovation meets compassion.

I am JUST old enough to have caught a taste of the Before Times as a young adult, and yeah, I have pretty much universally found that under-30 LGBTs *literally do not believe you* when you tell them how significant the turnaround has been, and HOLY HELL does it leave me frustrated at times.

Rock Paper Guillotine
So apparently rock paper scissors has become a fascist meme where paper (n*zi salute) beats rock (solidarity fist). From a game design perspective I just want to clarify that scissors (a tool with really sharp edges) beat paper. 🤷🏾

Good thread on the revised assessment of the previously-presumed 'Pictish-to-Norse' transition site at Buckquoy, Orkney. It looks like that interpretation needs to be put to bed.
NEW Were the Picts of northern Scotland wiped out by Viking conquest? New radiocarbon dates from the 1st millennium AD settlement of Buckquoy, Orkney paint a more complex picture of cultural interaction in the Northern Isles.

I’m about to teach “The Battle of the Pellenor Fields” (LotR book V copy 6) alongside ‘The Battle of Maldon’ and I get goosebumps every time for both.
Friday mood:
Hyge sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre,
mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað.
God I miss OE heroic poetry sometimes. It helps arouse my prime motivation: spite, persistence in the face of sheer overwhelm and exhaustion, laughter in the face of utter defeat.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
