there once was a nasty old abbot round these parts he was said to inhabit a room most unclean that smelled fucking obscene and with more than one stolen nun habit
nobody remembers exactly how it began but the competition to see if Sister Dot would run out of dirty limericks before her wife, Sister Helga, ran out of yarn was remembered with awe and fondness for many years to come
this is gorgeous!!
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
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 ☕️ 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!

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

i think that bridgerton actually moved some really big goalposts around how historical-fantasy costuming is done now. like i think you could draw a line between it and wuthering heights.
okay i need to learn more about how regency society worked because i suspect that spinster-being is different
CRESIDA RULES
okay regency dancing looks like fun, you just bounce around in a line

lady whistledown wasn't mean enough to colin imho. (this is an anti-colin household.) colin would listen to regency fantasy joe rogan or andrew tate. he'd absolutely be a hashtag grindset guy. BOO COLIN.
watching bridgerton season 3. i'm on episode 2 right now.
nothing makes me feel more sure of my asexuality than watching this show.

Spring is right around the corner and the beautiful rotten smell of skunk cabbage is in the air! A fascinating local example of sapromyophily - flowers that smell stinky to attract fly (and beetle) pollinators. #diptera #pollination
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.
