Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were 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: 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.

Stop. Buying. Harry. Potter. Don’t stream, don’t read, don’t listen, don’t go to the park. None. Of. It. I know I’m preaching to the choir but the way JKR is able to get away with her crusade because of her riches is an indictment on her, her property, and anyone who still celebrates it.

1. Amnesty International has withstood threats from death squads and dictators. But it could not stand up to JK Rowling and the anti-trans movement she finances. It has apologized for calling those groups "anti-rights" after legal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Man, must be gutting for all global dictators to discover that they could’ve simply silenced any criticism of their practices from Amnesty International by simply threatening them with a SLAPP suit via Twitter.

Amnesty International has now issued a public groveling apology to JK Rowling's organization and has pulled her another report documenting the anti rights platform of gender critical organizations. www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...

Deposit has been paid! Thank you everyone for your help and support, but more is still needed! I have just enough for the procedure, but still need to cover everything else surrounding the procedure, including travel and hotel and feeding myself! Every little bit helps ❤️

I also currently have a GoFundMe for top surgery! Please consider donating, the more I get, the less likely that I need to go the Medical Tourism route (which has dangers and complications). gofund.me/a5e31e43a

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

Holy moly I enjoyed the Odyssey. Particularly how it played with chronology in terms of engaging with both the Bronze and Iron Ages, and later Classical mythology, very much felt like a well-considered representation of the Epics' nature as a synthesis of Bronze and Iron Age elements and language

She is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. She is the Carrion Lord of the (not so) vast Imperium of Britain for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that She may never truly die.

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day

Battle March Friday! I gotta play more often because they announced the new Battle March boxes while we were mid-game. Also, first victory for my Dark Elf army, Cendrach's Reavers! They've been having a rough time of it, but it feels like Battle March is a space where a Kharibdyss can really shine.

On the 5th August, the EHRC's Code of Practice becomes statutory guidance. It will make life even harder for many trans & non-binary people. It's unworkable & harmful. The Good Law Project is challenging & wants to hear from people affected by these exclusions. goodlawproject.org/discriminato...

‘Discriminatory’ and ‘unworkable’ trans guidance to come into force | Good Law Project

The equalities minister has ordered the government’s harmful code of practice will apply from 5 August – we’re pushing back
