Mostly using this to follow subjects of interest - i.e. history, protest and environment - expect long periods of silence with outburts of sarcasm.

Occasionally there may be memes.

Sharing again because... 👀

This frieze from Fulton County, Georgia shows "Medicine's battle with Death." Note the rod with two snakes. Many mistake it for the Rod of Asclepius (the traditional symbol of healing). However, this is the Caduceus, symbol of commerce. A common error in the USA.

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).

I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.
can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

I gave my mom what I thought was a soup-themed bath bomb some years back, but it was actually soup. She had to call my dad in to get her out of the greasy tub.

I think I’m just going to keep posting pictures of decorative Roman cavalry horse chamfrons from @vindolandatrust.bsky.social and @trimontiumtrust.bsky.social until people start blocking me.

Have some.

This is me shouting into the void because the first stage of the airport expansion has already gone to "Public Consultation" which is the NI version of "this is going to happen and yis are all going to suck it the fuck up".

Today marks 50 years of 'Protect and Survive'.

Brilliant to see Ste from @scarredforlife.bsky.social on BBC Breakfast TV this morning talking about growing up in the shadow of the bomb.

Also featured was an amazing piece with Roger Limb discussing the music and sounds he composed for the PIF.

Editor: your footnotes are too long
Me: I disagree*, I think they should be LONGER.

* A footnote is a perfect tool to develop two simultaneous trains of thought that feed into one another that would be otherwise cumbersome to read.
