Omg….Tears again! 😭 The ability to fly to Europe, get on a cruise ship, & see the #eclipse w/ people close to me, inclg my partner on his bday, will never be lost on me. Again, if you have never seen an eclipse & can plan for the next two over the next 2yrs… DO IT!🌚 #ESPwx

1) Did he die in 1304 (and at that siege in 1304!) or sometime in the fourteenth century? 2) Is the injury not also consistent with a fall from the top of a castle? (Context: I work on deodands and people who fall from, say, the top of church towers have extreme, widespread skeletal damage).

The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE. At #ppa26Berlin last week, @uniofbradford.bsky.social scientist Jo Buckberry concluded he was likely whacked by a flying boulder, making him the first confirmed trebuchet death in the archaeological record. @science.org

I was late to the game, catching my first show at one of the classic theaters in rock history in the Fall of ‘98. But it was pretty pretty good. Jefferson Starship were on fire. Paul & Marty back together again, and they didn’t play any of that Built-This-City or Find-Your-Way-Back lame pop music 😅

Hey, Tim Apple. I get that you don’t want your phone cases to accidentally fall off your precious iPhones. But we shouldn’t need the Jaws of Life™️ to remove ‘em. jfc 😡

Random Memory Dump: I got bumped up to 1st class and sat behind Nichelle Nichols on a flight from Denver to LAX in the early aughts. She smiled at me when we were getting off and my heart was all aflutter 🥰
