Very nice 👑

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’
—Alice Wong

An Post advises customers over sending parcels to US As people turn to thinking of preparing their Christmas parcels to send, An Post is advising customers of new rules which mean certain items can no longer be mailed to the United States.

An amicable separation would really be best for all parties, wouldn't it?

I love Ladyhawke! I have always maintained that it needs to be released with a new soundtrack worthy of it. Everything else about it is perfect.

Yikes. Who are the author's peers, exactly😬?

Depiction, from a Roman mosaic, of a red crested snake sticking out its tongue

Apparently wearing a raspberry beret (the kind you find in a second hand store), this cheeky red-crested, tiny-tongued tessellated serpent features on a mid 4th century #Roman mosaic from Dorchester

Found in Durngate Street in 1905, it's now in @dorsetmuseum.bsky.social

Many can’t evacuate without help.

Many are critically dependent on electricity to power wheelchairs, breathing equipment & more.

They can’t flee easily and don’t deserve to be left behind.

This will be fun then follow along. I would love to know if any of the legs of this journey would be accessible for a wheelchair user. Our family has been thinking about Europe by rail from Ireland's West coast 🤔

A map, a myth and a pre-Incan lagoon: the man who brought water back to a drought-ridden town When historian Galo Ramón uncovered a long-forgotten pre-Incan water system in Ecuador, he set about restoring it, and helped transform the landscape and livelihoods

Brighten your day. Historian rediscovers a pre-Incan method of water storage, gets money to restore the existing structures, and the town he grew up in now has access to water 10 hours a day, up from 1/2 hour per day. The details are v. cool.

Medieval emoji culture is real.
I give you the itchiest inhabitants of the Book of Kells, because even in a Gospel, there’s room for a joke.
