We're often asked 'how did Roman potters create the moulds that they used to make lamps & deity figurines?' The answer is that there were numerous methods used. In these 4 videos Sarah & I show one technique that we have identified.🏺#Archaeology #Pottery #Ceramics #Classics youtu.be/nJD9tCfv-7I?...

To paraphrase something Charlie Kellner once told me (yes, THAT one): Good speculative fiction *is* philosophy, "what ifs" made more digestible by hanging them on a scaffolding of story.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

This is the actual fucking answer and it’s said much more succinctly than I ever do when I’m asked, which I get asked a lot and now I’m going to steal Ms Fox’s answer and make it my own.
Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.

They just need $402,000 before January 1! They're 92% of the way to paying off their mortgage.

My favorite historical costume designer is Sandy Powell, and she has an amazing trick that it took me years to realize: Be conservative with color and lean into modern shapes with your hero, and put your villain in the most outrageously period-specific costume you can.

Always mad that at a certain point everyone (wrongly) thought it would be cool to just default to leather for everything (looking at you, Netflix Trojan War show).

BBC’s The Musketeers and the Problem of Leather

Still $400,000 short of its goal to save the Museum of the Earth.
Pocket change for a billionaire, but nobody's coming to save it but us. Still a couple weeks to get another 10,000 people to donate $40 though.
