Rekonstruktionszeichnung der Schamanin in vier Schritten, vom Schädel über Muskulatur bis hin zum fertigen Gesicht - hier mit heller Haut, braunen Augen und blondem Haar.

Diese Rekonstruktionszeichnungen der #BadDürrenberg​er #Schamanin aus den Jahren 2003 und 2022 sind außerdem ein wunderbares Beispiel dafür, wie anhaltende Forschung (in diesem Fall neue paläogenetische Untersuchungen) unser Bild von der Vergangenheit im Wortsinne erweitern und verändern können.

Not sure if she counts, but I'm sure she gives good advice.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is you therapist. Who is it?

@natalieironside.bsky.social is on bsky too, apparently, so thank you Natalie for the wisdom.

tumblr post by natalieironside: You should never create anything with a wide audience in mind. The so-called "general audience" doesn't exist; it's a fiction made up by advertising executives. Most of the time, great art and literature is made with the intention of pleasing no more than 4 or 5 specific perverts of the author's acquaintance

Words to live by, tbh

ICE attempted to enter the home of a woman with her children in Huntington Beach. However, the entire community, police department, and city council intervened and forced them to leave.

Keep fighting back ✊🏽

Thanks! I'm trying to get better at identifying plants

Tree seedling when I first got it. Look how cute!

Same tree, a bit worse for wear.

It's looking a bit Charlie Brown Christmas at the moment, but all those leaves are new!

The tree in question

Ah, reddit. Never change.

A hill covered in bright green prairie grasses, dotted with echinacea and purple clover. Tall stalks of yellow flowers (compass plant?) rise above the prairie in the foreground. The sky overhead is full of stormy grey clouds.

The whole world used to be like this.

advice wanted!! there is a publication accepting pitches that would be an excellent fit for a piece i've wanted to write for several years.

however, i am not published, and have never pitched anything before. any writers seeing this who would be willing to give me some general advice/tips?

Does anyone on here know about bonsai and want to help me out? I'm afraid to post on the bonsai subreddit.

Tomato seedlings in a terra cotta pot

The tomatoes are looking lush. I was only going to plant two of these guys but they all came out so nicely. I'll have to buy some more pots I guess.

I know it's late to be starting tomatoes but it is what it is. They'll be growing inside mostly anyway.

A very green potato with a lumpy green sprout coming from the end.

A small purple potato. There is a tiny drop of liquid on the surface

Seed potatoes are finally sprouting. The purple ones have a mysterious sticky sap leaking from the eyes. I might not plant them.

It's a shame I don't have a better camera. This thing looks exactly like that you imagine when you think of a rainbow.

Happy Pride, queers

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

Anyone on this website ever live in a yurt and feel like talking to me about it?

Agent: Do you have pets? There's bears on the property, and I've seen wolf tracks there... not trying to discourage you but..

Me: omg *wolves*??? That's so cool!!!

I've talked to the listing agent. Going to go out and have a look in a couple of weeks.

Thinking about buying a property and saw this guy in one of the listing photos. So I'm pretty much sold on it now.

A small flap in a children’s board book. It’s held open, showing a pig as a police officer arresting a zebra with a big bag with a dollar sign on it. The text reads, “Police cars are driven by police officers, who help keep people safe.”

the goose got this book about fire trucks and the last page is about “other rescue vehicles” and the people who drive them and the smallest flap is reserved for our Boys In Blue and it feels like such a begrudging inclusion and the cop is a pig lol

If it makes you feel more confident, the last time I got blood work done they said my levels of everything looked great (except vitamin D, because Midwest winter). I had been mostly eating cookies and pasta for like two months.

You'd be amazed at what it takes to actually develop a serious vitamin deficiency. Most likely if you get short on something you'll start craving different foods.

It's definitely fine.

Ok there is. I could get Scrivener to back up to Google Drive and save everything as text files. But they would be a bunch of individual text files, and when I open them in a markdown editor they wouldn't be organized the way I want. Wavemaker at least organizes it for me.

Actually I think I could do the same thing with obsidian and scrivener that wavemaker does. It's just saving everything to google drive, and then you download it and overwrite the previous files. Scrivener has a built in way to do it I think, I just can't figure out how the fuck it works.

I am now attempting to use wavemaker cards instead of scrivener for writing on my tablet. It is slightly less infuriating to use than obsidian, but not by much, and there are other issues with it. But it does allow me to sync between devices without paying for it, so there's that.

(Manx National Heritage)

Iron Age inhabitants of the Isle of Man may have used divination spoons to predict the future. One of such bronze utensils dates to between 400 and 100 B.C. and is engraved with a cross that may have been used by priests.

Its lazy and wrong to consider the ancient past is always deeply buried (I regularly see this in professional reports).
Here are our students recording Upper Palaeolithic structures at the sites of Les Varines, Jersey.
