My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.

Sipping my coffee β˜•οΈ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!

They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago!

Universal income, just to say something that hasn’t been said yet. Fund the arts, fund the humanities, raise the federal minimum wage, pay homemakers a living wage. Let people live in dignity, since apparently that requires money

As You Like It, the most gender of all the plays

honorable mentions to Pericles Prince of Tyre which is just so damn good, Comedy of Errors which is a 10 for $10 deal on laffs, Twelfth Night for also having all the gender, and Hamlet and Richard II if we’re actually being serious about it

My workplace was doing a bunch of shots for free except for COVID which was billed to your insurance. I didn’t have adequate insurance, so I only got a flu shot. Probably not an uncommon scenario

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

listen i love ao3 as much as the next guy but ive seen people quit fic writing over the past few years because people comment and engage with authors way less, and then everyone still freaks out when ao3 goes down- if a fic is irreplaceable to u, let the author know!

The last point is critical. The media LOVES war, like you love your kids, your spouse, your parents, but more.

So many of them have dreamed of being war correspondents sending dispatches from the front line. It genuinely confuses them and hurts their feelings when people think it's not a good idea.

what I’m learning from these responses is that only children generally were not raised to be All About Me; conversely we have independence/perfectionist/inferiority complexes the size of the fucking sun

In honour of #StDavidsDay here are the wonderful Penbryn Spoons, which were found in 1829 beneath a heap of stones inside the Castell Nadolig hillfort, near Penbryn in Ceredigion, Wales. The pair of cast bronze β€˜spoons’ date to the Late Iron Age (c. 50 BCE–100 CE).
