I'll branch out here a bit more than on Twitter, I still do mostly shawol retweets (SHINee Fans, I'm a fan of Key in particular), but want to follow and interact with my fantasy books writers, etc. too - maybe even some rpgs. I'm as old as Jonghyun's mum!

Dear friendly people, you don't need to follow me back when I follow you, if the content I repost and the occasional orignal post or quote don't interest you. I will mostly be using this site, as I've used all social media so far: like a feed reader (like LJ, dreamdwidth -but with more reach)

Jan. 16, 2025: A SpaceX Starship rocket explodes over the Caribbean.

Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone."

Their passengers are now unwitting participants in a test run gone wrong. (THREAD)

Something lovely for the weekend!

Minoan cups made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago!

Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo collage shows five cylindrical Minoan cups each with a single handle and a slightly flaring rim. Each cup is decorated with a different geometric polychrome motif as follows: Top left: on a black background, a central band delineated by an upper and lower white line contains evenly-spaced dark-orange circles, each orange circle is outlined by a white line. Above and below the central band are swirling white vine-like lines. Top right: on a black background, a large white spiral on the front of the cup and beside it a dark-orange oval with stylised white petals at each end which looks like a wrapped sweet! Middle left: a central band of white and dark orange diagonal lines runs around the cup. Above and below the central band are alternating black and white diagonal shapes, the black ones look like shark fins Bottom left: a central reddish-orange band delineated with a white line. Above the central band are swirling, spiralling white lines against a black background, and below the central band are alternating white and black diagonal lines. Bottom right: all set against a black background. A central band delineated with white lines contains white ‘s’-shaped diagonal white stripes. Above the central band a row of red dots outlined with white circles. Below the central band a single white line on the black background. This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida on the Greek island of Crete where this kind of pottery was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items produced by palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups were excavated at Phaistos and are dated 1800-1700 BC.

I guess it’s time to admit that “Jinks throws things into the crowd” is basically my favorite genre of fancam

Goodnight from the barn dance at High Barley, where rendition of the traditional song Rundle’s Skeleton has stirred the village spirits. Goodnight from Laura Lessing, tired of arguing with her husband that it’s much too cold for a baby’s tide baptism tomorrow. Goodnight from Hookland.

Update from the kpop gacha game! What even was Lucifer era 😭
Screenshot of a digital card of Lucifer era SHINee Minho. He is naked from the waist up, hair in a cloud, wearing a spiked metal tiara with some silvery extensions. He is bathed in pearl aqua color and looking pensively to the side.

Seeing a lot of false postings out there.

Despite the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's recent closure, PBS and NPR are still VERY MUCH ALIVE and active. They're just more dependent than ever upon the generosity of Viewers Like You!

For today’s #FindsFriday, the Norfolk Carnyx!

An Iron Age war horn built to be seen and heard and to unsettle. Polybius wrote that its sound in battle seemed to 'emanate from the entire countryside'. More to come, including on #DiggingforBritain next week.

An aryballos in the shape of Medusa's head. The vessel was used to hold perfumes oil.
Medusa was a mythical creature whose sight turned everyone to stone. Her head was a popular motif and used to ward off any evil.

From Vulci, 6th c. BC.

On display at British Museum.

📷 me
The picture shows an aryballos (a small bottle) in the shape of Medusa's head. She has snake-like hair, staring eyes, a gaping mouth with its tongue sticking out and gnashing, sharp teeth.
