A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍
An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

A very stark reminder why no one goes out on foot after dark in Churchill, Manitoba. This mom and her cubs came just off the beach and behind the town complex. The Polar Bear Alert staff gently herded them away from town to keep everyone safe. #mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿

Irish Barmbrack is a fruit bread and, although it is eaten throughout the year, it is particularly associated with Halloween (Samhuin) and New Year’s Eve.

Peter Cushing’s long friendship with Christopher Lee began on The Curse Of Frankenstein when Lee stormed into Cushing’s dressing room saying ‘I haven’t got any lines!’ & Cushing replied ‘You’re lucky. I’ve read the script.’

Did not know that food banks don't pay sales tax, so their dollar can stretch more!! Cash donate to your local food bank!!
SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack.
But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

One of the most chilling things about this story is that some did not even know it was ICE.
They thought it was “an attack on the school” i.e. a school shooter.
Think on that for a minute.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”
Families "horrified" after daycare teacher pulled out of school by federal agents.
The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee, who cares for infants, is legally allowed to work in the United State...

Around this time yesterday I stopped at St. Katharine’s Chapel in Limehouse to check out their 14th century misericords. Thankfully it was otherwise empty of visitors, I had to lie flat on my back and shimmy underneath a big chair to photograph the hidden demon and its brides in the fourth image...

Rattlesnake Kate, an icon for our day
![^ Rattlesnake namesake
On October 28, 1925, Slaughterback singlehandedly killed 140 rattlesnakes. 2] Slaughterback and her son Ernie were
on horseback headed to a lake near her farm. Hunters had been there the day before, and she was hoping to find harvested ducks left behind. However, she instead found over 100 migrating rattlesnakes. She shot the snakes until she ran out of ammunition for her .22 caliber Remington rifle, at which point she grabbed a nearby sign (allegedly, it said
"No Hunting") and bludgeoned the remaining snakes to death. [31](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xwg24vshr4rskn3hz5ztjzhq/bafkreigpzhp7nlabwsxc7izaps4dtok3ljiw7bzddz2r5hzzib5mvltr7u@jpeg)

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.
This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.
