Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods “Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.”
Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight “Oh, I feel very angry a lot of the time," said Tiffany, "but I just put it away somewhere until I can do something useful with it.”
Fabulous Ice Age spear thrower handle carved in the form of an animal. Known as the ‘Creeping Hyena’ it was carved from mammoth ivory around 15,000 years ago. The shaft is missing, but the hook to propel the spear is still visible. From La Madeleine rock shelter, France. 📷 by me #Archaeology

Unmute for this, especially if you haven't heard the Godmother of Rock & Roll before.
Remembering Sister Rosetta Tharpe, born in 1915 in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. Here she's performing "Didn't It Rain" at a train depot in Manchester, England in 1964. She's often called the "Godmother of Rock & Roll" and influenced future music icons like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley.
The rules of the house. (I'll make 'em into stickers if they get passed around enough)

84 years ago today, two naked canadian sailors successfully boarded and captured a U-boat while the rest of their crew threw coke bottles at it. turns out it's hard to defend a conning tower ladder when there's a sweaty canadian butt suddenly sliding down it at speed. an "out of context" problem.

What horseshit. She embraced gay people at the height of the AIDS crisis, embraced trans people at the height of the war against them, supported Black communities and artists, and wrote the most pro-worker's rights feminist pop song of all time. Neutral my ass
"At a time when no American celebrity seems immune from the country’s many divisions, Dolly Parton was a crossover icon who stayed neutral in the culture wars while still speaking her mind," writes Zachary B. Wolf. | Analysis

I am not particularly interested in coddling the emotions of American citizens who find it hurtful to read that a Canadian thinks that they are part of the problem.
