The Ur Museum!

(I made a similar joke elsenet and it didn't land, but maybe it will, here)

En-nígaldi-Nanna, the daughter of the last king of the Neo-Babylonian empire (626-539 BCE), had a museum in Ur, complete with 1500 year old artifacts and “museum labels.”

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 5h

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks curiously at a pie which Green has placed on a plate on the table, while Green looks at him with joy and pride.
Green: I have made a sidequest pie!

Blue listens patiently as Green goes on.
Green: Flour from the mill we visited once, mushrooms that we gathered with your mom, homegrown parsley and basil... Almost all ingredients were things we've made or gathered on adventures!

Both foxes turn back to look at the pie.
Blue: How does it taste?
Green: Bad.

This is one of the best photos I think I've ever taken

View out of an airplane window over the wing and a seaside coastline. The sky is blue, the clouds are fluffy, and there is a shadow of the plane on the sand.

I forgot to add a photo of Skittles watching Demon Slayer and getting very cat-affirming advice from Inosuke.

A brown ticked tabby cat, shown from behind, is watching the anime Demon Slayer on an iPad. The current scene shown is one where Inosuke, a boy who wears a boar's head mask, is saying "Do what you want" to the protagonist, Tanjiro, who looks at him.

it's been repeatedly proven that giving people free money is cheaper than not doing it

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

in recent weeks i picked up a gun i barely used and discovered i really liked it and got really good with it. fiddled with attachments and experimented with combinations and discovered a whole new dimension to the game.

Signing Mass Effect @ Essen! @ithayla.bsky.social · 22h

every time i get even close to bored with helldivers i experiment with a new loadout and its like a completely different game. have to rewire my brain to find new solutions to old problems and its fun as fuck all over again.
