Today is the official day of freedom for Europe. In Denmark we celebrate evening 4. and the day of May 5.

Normally I don't post private stuff here, but the old mr. Hansen (the Hansen in Madsen by Hansen) still remembers the day.

I wrote about a few years ago.

My kids made me watch Velocipastor!

The plot follows pastor Doug Jones who becomes infected by an artifact, resulting in him turning into a velociraptor when he becomes angry.

Here we see a demonstration of the Madsen MG in 1929. Many important people from the Dansk Rekylriffel Syndikat were present, as well as representatives from Brazil and Estonia.

It must have been considered an exotic excursion, as it was fairly common to bring one's wife.

There is not such a thing as too much decoration this time of year!

I recommend this place for HW and yule ornaments. Hand blown with silver lining, some are even free blown like this frog. More traditional HW ornaments are also available

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

Halloween is aproaching.
Halloween is near! It's time to post this marvellous articulated Roman skeleton, presumably meant to be a reminder to enjoy life to the fullest, since pleasure ends irrevocably with death.

Historical research often comes at an emotional cost.

To commemorate World Mental Health Day, here's a discussion from our archives on how ideas about wellbeing can shape the historian's craft in radical ways.

The Cheese Riots, too good to not repost.
259 years ago, on the 2nd of October 1766, ‘Cheese Riots’ broke out at the Nottingham Goose Fair after Lincolnshire merchants had bought large quantities of cheese with the intent to sell it back home. The residents of Nottinghamshire did not want food to leave their county. #otd #history 🗃️

Det er så ufattelig pinligt for DK.

Hvad! Er droner en trussel i 2025?

Det vidste vi ikke.

Hov.

Aii, hvem skulle kunne gætte det??

*Alle aviser: man kan kun skyde dem ned* Drone jammere, drone net osv. eksisterer ikke

PANIK, tilkald hundepatruljen🐕

Rettidig omhu!

A list of Russian air incursions into NATO air space in recent days. Meanwhile, Trump's NATO ambassador, a urinal salesman named Matt Whitaker, says that the talk of a Russian threat to NATO's eastern flank is exaggerated.

Went to this exhibition yesterday.

Between Heaven and Earth is Royal Danish Library's new special exhibition, where the history of magic emerges as a shared narrative. The doors are opened to rare books of sorcery, alchemical writings, occult photographs and ritual objects.

Ukraine has successfully captured their first Russian supply donkey. Fuel prices across Russia continue to climb higher as more Russians are asking why there are shortages and record prices. Zelensky traveled to New York City for the UN General Assembly and met with Trump.

Never forget to be joyful!
An important reminder from the Playmobil Ötzi.

Whimsey, playfulness and sillyness are an important part of the academic process - and fridays.

Now I "just" have to figure out how to whimsey-up bayonets😵‍💫

Better suggestions? #funnyfriday #sillyfridayafternoon #whimseyday
#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit.
Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil.

A lot of our documents are kept in boxes so tightly that sometimes it's a struggle to fit them back in.

Luckily, we've found this charming diagram from a previous generation of archivist, showing the proper way to fit all the documents back in their right spots.

A few years old but excellent piece about archival work (and no mention of dust anywhere🙂).

A marvelous thread about a Norvegian warsship turned British … or something along those lines. Read it and (what is the opposite of rejoice?).
This thing here, exhibit A in "the danger of leaving our ships to melt in the hot sun", is HMS Glatton.

And on this day in 1918 things went even more pear-shaped than they already were...
