Cee

i did and i know, thank you! this isn't my first concussion rodeo, or even my second concussion rodeo

it's not controversial to say, "don't kidnap people" actually

Four colorful panels of a Gray Catbird with mulberries, serviceberries, wild strawberries, and blackberries in their beak

it's rainy. i think i concussed myself last night. my desire to be at work right now has never been lower

then again, my former best friend burned our friendship bridge because i [checks notes] didn't particularly care for the mighty nein but loved vox machina, so maybe i'm the weird one

color me shocked that the cops side with maga lol

breaking news, youtube commenters: you can be critical of something without being racist lol

i haven't been a big critical role fan since halfway through c2. we decided to start c4 just to see if we like it. i'm clicking around in the comments and wow the racism is astounding (i mean, no it isn't, because people suck, but yiiiiikes)

Living in the USA, 2025

i could almost be convinced it's RHG, for Royal Horse Guards, but they weren't involved in the colonies/states during the Revolutionary War

A close-up of a brown-colored button in a hand. The button is very worn. It has a crown over some letters, but only the first letter, R, is legible.

The same button at a slightly different angle.

there's for sure a crown and an R, but I can't tell if that's one or multiple letters after

Historian friends: I have an honors students writing a thesis about needlework samplers by Indigenous girls at mission school in the 1830s. I don't know much about the scholarship on boarding and mission schools in this early period (other than Snyder and Demos). Any thoughts?

speaking of, are any of y'all familiar with royal(?) provincial buttons found in the south? i'm not sure that's what it is because it has a crown, but doesn't have the standard RP that i'm familiar with

TWO layers of RED felt with what feels like the strongest glue known to humankind

a donor glued 18th century buttons to two layers of felt, so i've spent my early afternoon trying to carefully remove said felt so that these buttons can go on loan to another institution :|

oooh

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

The toilet is running again :)

Museo Egizio Turin photo showing a small, dark-blue, core-formed, round glass jar which tapers in at the shoulders below the neck. It has yellow, white, and light blue festoon decoration trailed around the main body. There is a single yellow trail just below the neck of the jar. There is a dark-blue circular glass lid, the top of which is adorned with two dark-blue duck heads with yellow bills, a yellow trailed stripe on the top of each duck’s head, and indents for their eyes. The jar is displayed on a perspex (?) stand against a grey background. Glass jar dimensions: 7.6 cm x 9.6 cm. Core-forming is one of the earliest glassmaking techniques. Glassmakers shaped the body of the vessel around a core, wound colored trails around it. They then let the vessel cool and removed the core.

A 3,500 year-old Egyptian glass cosmetic jar with two little duck heads!

Glass was a relatively new material at that time, so this jar would have been a precious possession.

The infantilisation of Greta Thunberg is ableist. AND people not accounting for her Autism is reductive and disingenuous.

What happened to her and others from the flotilla is atrocious, clearly illegal, demonstrative of Israel as a terrorist state.

A black-and-white document reading "Labourer" and "Strumpet."

I was searching for a burial record and came across one for an 'illegitimate' child who was baptised in Cowbridge.

While the vicar has recorded the father's occupation as 'Labourer', the vicar recorded the mother's occupation as "Strumpet." 👀

One of the things that sucks about this era is having to think about the racists all the time, because they’re so boring. They have like, three tools in their toolkit, so we get to say things like “oh look, they’re using the hammer again”

Millefleur inspired tapestry design of MaoMao from the anime Apothecary Diaries

My next tapestry design! It’s Mao Mao 🌿 I recently watched all of seasons 1 and 2 with my partner and really enjoyed. I love a girl with a hyperfixation #ApothecaryDiaries #maomao

Met Museum photo of an Ancient Egyptian gold head ornament viewed from the front against a grey background. The headband is made of hammered sheet gold, the ends of which have been tapered to a narrower width and rolled to form loops. A string would have threaded through the loops to fasten the band around the head at the back. The front of the band is decorated with a central head of an antlered stag, identified as the Persian fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica). The stag has two large antlers, large ears and a triangular-shaped head. It is flanked on either side by two gazelle heads. The gazelle heads have long ears and long curved horns which point outwards at the tip. Between the animal heads are four 8-pointed flowers or stars. Dimensions: height of central stag 8.9, length of headband 49.5 cm. Dated to the Second Intermediate period (c. 1648-1540 BC) when northern Egypt was ruled by the Hyksos from the ancient Near East. Said to be part of a group of objects found in the Eastern Delta near Avaris, the Hyksos capital. The headband shows a mix of ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian artistic styles.

Something lovely for the weekend!

One reason manga is more accessible than US comics is that with manga you can start reading at volume one and expect to continue directly through the next numbered volumes under the exact same title in order without major shakeups in the direction of the story or the creative team every few volumes

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

The question (with 109 supporters who want to know) is: Is an animal sad? 1 person clicked yes, 4 people clicked no Yuyawa commented: Unless you describe a werewolf as an animal then yes, but if you don’t then no, there are no sad animals

I love Does the Dog Die as a resource, especially as a horror movie fanatic who has a very specific and commonly depicted phobia. I also just love it for some of the comments people leave

It's fixed. Apparently the flapper had a lip on it that was getting caught. He replaced it with a new flapper and flushed like a dozen times to make sure it was better
