A grey heron at the top of a bridge, looking unbothered as people stare.
Hopping back on bluesky to transmit yesterday's heronometer reading (admired and unbothered) to @liminalitea.bsky.social
Fantastic panel to start off the last day of #CA2024, featuring @disabledarchaeo.bsky.social, Mar Rodda, Cecily Bateman & Hannah Vogel on both disability in the ancient world and the relevance of ancient disability for modern disability studies

Ooooh! I can come to this one!
Today's aesthetic is "cosy allergy trigger" (my jumper is cute and also mostly made of cat hair)
Of course Act II of that story is that they excommunicate the guy on whose side God chimes in, and then there’s an involuntary opposite & decidedly unequal divine reaction to his grief where he shoots fire from his eyes, & oh, INCIDENTALLY, causes a worldwide famine when that causes crop failures.
