It's wild how great mashing around some clay is for mental health. Arrived at the open studio my usual anxious and angry and stepped out... calm. (and then Vienna happened, but that's a different problem)

An elaborate Greek gold hairnet with garnet inlays, dating from the 3rd century BC, an older medallion of Medusa was reused in the centre. Medusa’s head was a popular motif and used to ward off any evil. From Taras (Tarento, Italy). On display at Altes Museum, Berlin. 📷 me 🏺
The bath house at Chesters Roman Fort in Northumberland. Aside from how small the alcoves are, was wondering what conversations, jokes, gossip took place here. All facets of human life, I guess. #RomanFortThursday #AncientBluesky
Endometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo
Rapid endometriosis tests to be made available on NHS in England and Wales
Saliva and gut sensor-based tests hailed as ‘gamechanger’ for millions of women who can wait years for diagnosis

Everyone needs to go see Coyote Vs. ACME because A, Its going to be fantastic and B, if it makes money at the box office none of it will go to Warner Bros which would be so fucking funny.
I don't see any option to disable killer, only 'yes' and 'maybe later'
Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off
I read this 17 years ago and I think about it probably once a week. One of those things that I read that literally changed my political understanding of the world (and put me at odds with my family but that was coming anyway)

I'm actually really done with the sun. Good timing, I suppose?
If you don't have proper eclipse glasses / filters, try a pinhole camera ... When the sun is whole, images will be circles. When partially eclipsed they will be crescents. You can use a colander or even a Ritz Biscuit. Find out more in my book "Up - a scientist's guide to the magic above us"
the past: "dont pirate that software, it might put malware on your computer" now: "that software is good but the official version essentially comes bundled with malware so make sure to pirate it"

This poor bastard
The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE.

All these actors should now be permanently introduced as "genocide enabler [firstname lastname]". Like Genocide enabler Simon Pegg, genocide enabler Matt Berry, genocide enabler Hugh Laurie...

JUST TO NOTE IF PEOPLE PLAN ON USING COLANDERS TO SEE THE ECLIPSE YOU ARE NOT LOOKING THROUGH IT, YOU ARE USING IT TO FILTER THE LIGHT AND WATCH THE SHADOW OF THE MOON ON THE GROUND/OTHER SURFACE
GOD NO NOT LIKE THAT this is my plan, to use a colander - BUT YOU HOLD IT OVER THE GROUND BECAUSE THE ECLIPSE SHINES THROUGH IT AND YOU WATCH THE SHADOWS

I'm shocked. Not by the network, but by the fact that Austria has uncovered something.
⚡️Austria uncovers international network circumventing EU sanctions to supply Russian cruise missiles, jets.
if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.
