Depictions of female anatomical cuirasses are relatively rare in the ancient world, even on mythical female warriors. But this Amazon terracotta from Canosa shows that "boob armor" pairs quite well with a Montefortino helmet. Note the drill holes on top for plumes!

From the Orthodox Barbie archives: [On Titus 2:5]: “In this era, households are economically productive. To instruct a woman to “work at home” was to instruct her to be economically productive. Like Neo’s wife she may even do his work while he busies himself with civic duties.” - Lyn M. Kidson /1

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.com · last yr.1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously. 2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.
