Mmm well, some return to the city I live in since we have the UK's only outdoor push-start track for Bobsleigh and Skeleton.

Hug, hard yet a beautiful project in the long run.

If only they known it was the bucket hat and ego twas part of the issue we use to go drink with the rugby lads yet only ones that could speak Welsh.

Seems I still feel physical recoil and nausea at the flash backs of male toxicity of that era. That even F1 bucket hats set off my spider senses.

Meanwhile still spotting teen goths today ❤️

Is giving her tips for getting a win against the koi wise?

Growl

It still surprises me that magazine still is doing such good investigative reporting, rolling stone and teenage vogue (untill their management betrayed them were doing such a good job on stepping up their game.

I know this could be said about a lot of things these days, but forging the signature of an ethics committee president should really result in “you never work in this field again and/or you go to jail”-type consequences, otherwise the whole system’s cooked

Meme. Medieval marginal illumination of a woman and snake. The woman is wearing a brown dress with blue sleeves, and a gentle white veil . She is leaning backwards a little bit, and looking downwards at the snake, which is rearing up in front of her. It's a rather large snake, coming up all the way to her head. It has ears, and a somewhat dog-like head (with teeth). It is curling as it rises up into the air. The woman *should* be more alarmed than she appears to be. Rather than being freaked out, her mannerisms suggest the kind of calm you'd want in a trauma surgeon. She's frowning, and pointing away with her left arm. She seems to be sending the snake off with distain. OR...you could read it such that she is lifting her arm to let the snake lick her armpit. Cleanliness is next to snakiness. Perhaps this is how she applies deodorant. If we call the woman Ritualia, then the snake's name must be Sellibrant. Meme text reads: "The beach is that way Go find an eel to chat up."

It's Friday. You want to talk about sex, right? Snake and eel sex?

'Cause medieval people thought that was maybe a thing.

Many medieval bestiaries tell how male vipers go to the beach at night & hiss to summon female sea eels for trysts on the sand.

Booty call for Ms. Eel? 1/4

Please take her to see a competition. It’s even more mesmerising in real life.

Cute? Moi?

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

My whole uni is gone Tim Cresswell, Jo Little, Chris Philo all helped the in the way this magpie views the world, art, maps, history, landscape, architecture, experiences, power structures, culture, mental health, there was not anything they could not shoe horn into a lecture it was fab.

I am going to sleep, and you should too, but if you're not quite ready and would like a little joy to help you toggle between The Living Nightmare and Sweet Dreams, I cannot possibly recommend this video highly enough:

I also write about the Epstein files. Because it’s the another eg of US press lacking guts or clarity or leadership to say it like it is. It’s the dog didn’t bark. And if it isn’t barking now..what happens when/if Trump attempts to throw the mid terms?

War and postwar history account refuges, war trauma and most the fascinating lesbian prostitution.

Content warning abuse and child death.

Honestly this is fascinating I get the 1st few right and then my brain tunes out like it’s hit a buffer.

Focus what that never heard of her, is she from Canada?

When I find out just how much my mind wanders and it’s not just putting my keys down and losing them it seconds.

I have already leant I choose the shade I like, every hue value is wrong, darker than the original in every pick.

Do you get the same for digital book loan from the council library or should I be making the extra effort to borrow physical books?

How White Elites Drained Ancient Art of Its Color The publication of “Chroma” represents an important shift by museums toward recognizing polychromy and its entanglement with white supremacy.

There is a fab new book out about the 2022 polychromy exhibition at the Met. It underscores 38 scholars who are the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 experts in polychromy today. Coming out of polychromy retirement to review _Chroma: Sculpture in Color from Antiquity to Today_ for @hyperallergic.com (edited by Natalie Haddad).

I was thinking that too that I going to steel that idea for easy texture.

New skill unlocked well done.
