And sending lots of hugs your way on top of that, I'm sorry it's been a rough one

Went to an archery class today and there was a delightful goblin dog there!

Also here's a little guy for you from a museum recently

A rounded clay whistle with two stumpy white legs, a body the shape and size of a large plum, and a tremendously silly concerned owl face on top.

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: One of my main #MECFS symptoms is multiple paresthesias (tingling). This #symptomatology #embroidery maps the paresthesias in my face: paresthesia (face) 2016

An embroidery of the outline of a face in bone coloured thread on bone coloured linen. The forehead, cheeks, jaws, and temples are covered in filigree lines in dark blues, greens, and yellows showing sensations of paresthesia/tingling. There are French knots spaced out along the lips. Lines of beige strands of thread are strung from the knots across the face in a geometric formation to show tension around the mouth.

The Leverage cast seeing the Louvre heist and collectively posting, "Not it," is the whimsy we deserve.

Machines showing us all the futility of trying to spell English

Does make me wonder how well machine transcription does with languages that use tone

Two little baby feeders c. 320 BC, both made in Sicily, then Magna Graecia.
One Gnathian (style from Apulia) w ivy chain decoration; one w hippocamp figures.
And who wouldn't want to feed their baby through a mouse's tail??

Two mouse shaped terracotta pieces, each with a filling spout on the top of the body, hollow tails at one end and ears on the head.

A week of catching up on remap and I dream of ordering a "Danika" at a roadside stop. It's a mac & cheese and cornmeal lovechild, with optional ham.

@danika.bsky.social please advise if I should attempt to recreate this (ofc can't compare to the sweetness of osmanthus soup)

Actually second most pleased to have met these tremendous sheep at the Horniman Museum, sorry bike battery guy

Two sheep on short grass strewn with leaves. In front is a taller one, with black legs and face contrasting with the white body, and curly horns. Despite looking directly at the camera, its coat is so long and fluffy that no eyes are visible. It is extremely cute.
Behind it is a much smaller sheep, maybe knee-height, all black, with thinner legs and shorter coat. It is equally cute but in a different way!

I'm second most pleased that we encountered the dude* with a cargo bike full of batteries who replaces the empty ones on rental bikes

Idk just tickled me to know that's how it works

Now that we've tested negative twice, I'm most pleased to know we didn't get covid (or any other bug) while gallivanting through London. Despite sharing space with actively quite ill people - masks work! Also fuck capitalism for making people have to be out when they're ill!

Can I interest you in some desolate landscapes getting swallowed by fog

A litter-strewn path with water on the left and large industrial buildings on the right. It is swallowed by thick fog almost immediately.

View over a large flat grassy plain with strange hills, with lots of rubbish dumped around the edges. A thick fog leaves only the slightest hint of buildings in the distance

View in thick fog towards the sun. Buildings are vaguely visible across a road and a metal fence either side.

An overgrown railway line and dirt path converge in the foggy distance. They are lined with brambles and trees in autumn colours. There's promise of blue sky above.

This guy has gone back to his actual home now and I miss him a lot (except for the plastic eating crimes)

For a piece about wearing a mask as an act of community care, I'm looking to talk to people in the UK (especially Scotland) who are still masking regularly!

If this is you, and you're up for answering some questions for me, please drop me an email me at [email protected]! #journorequest

I bounced off that game hard after the first couple episodes of the let's play because it felt weirdly... artificially cozy? Does it ever go beyond bubble baths and tea are self care and necessary for healing?

Also makes the breadth of options available so much less overwhelming! Been planning a garden for a friend and looking for plants becomes a lot easier and more satisfying by going 'ok they should tick at least 2 boxes out of pollinator favourite, edible, dye plant, medicinal, etc'
