Reject plans for a mandatory BritCard (digital ID) Sir Keir Starmer is considering a mandatory digital ID scheme called “BritCard” that would make us all reliant on a digital pass to go about our daily lives. Mandatory digital IDs give the state enor...

The Government has revealed plans for a new mandatory digital ID. It’s invasive and could mean millions of people unable to go about their daily lives. Right now it's just an idea - we need to stop it becoming a reality. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Hmmm... show me its skull!

‘A Coalbrookdale Suicide’- Some Thoughts Whilst researching another project, I stumbled upon the following story, and since then- I’ve found it hard to get out of my head.  The head...

In the 19th Century, Coalbrookdale was often described as ‘Hell On Earth’ due to the impact of Industrialisation. Perhaps it was this environment that contributed to tragedy below. All I know is that William Maybury deserves to be remembered.

Won't be shopping there again.

And I can't name a single 'hit' from that year.

Respect new names for popes but throw tantrums over pronouns for neighbors. Got it.

There’s something very familiar about this #SheHulkSunday but I can’t put my finger on it… #ComicSky #SheHulk #ComicBooks

Fantastic. I think it is bovine, actually.

If I get a chance I'll post some comparison views of equid & bovine femurs tomorrow & some hints/tips on the most helpful views for bones photography. Thanks for tagging me and giving me the chance to see the bone!

Hi, this is a femur & appears to me to be bovine, but sadly the pics don't quite do it justice. Equids have a so-called 'third trochanter', a very characteristic muscle attachment spur on the lateral side, below the femoral head. Can't see that here tho that part of the bone's not clearly in view.

Maybe the gulls could start right there.

Bites on gladiator bones first evidence of combat with lion Experts say the discovery provides the first physical evidence of gladiatorial combat with animals.

First confirmed lion bite on a Roman gladiator’s bones—found not in Rome, but in York. A pelvis torn in combat 2,000 years ago speaks louder than myth. The arena was real, even at the empire’s edge. 🦁🦴 #RomanBritain #Gladiator #Archaeology #York #AncientViolence #BonesDontLie

So the articulator has worked with what they had- teeth are missing, obvs essential weapons for a ratter dog! I don't blame you for confusion over the baculum/sternum. Perhaps Hatch was female, perhaps the baculum was never found. Thought I could handle this reply in 2 posts but I've overrun! End!

It looks odd as this assembly is normally attached to the rib tips via costal cartilage which has been lost due to the age & preservation of the specimen. Many historical reconstructions omit the sternum & cartilage entirely so there's an 'open chest' look to the skeleton. But it's present here! 3/4

So I'm unsure whether the scapula position shifts with the pose of the dog. It's not a fixed articulation against the ribcage as we know from jiggling our own shoulders around (unlike hips- less flexible). The baculum is actually the components of the breastbone- sternum, manubrium, etc. ... 2/3

Oooohhhh I know that skeleton, I believe it's Hatch, from the Mary Rose. And I think I know the person who articulated it, so it may be disloyal of me to be ultra critical. However the scapula is indeed set further back than my own terrier skeleton (albeit they are in different poses)... 1/2

Letter from Doyle to Bram Stoker. My dear Bram SToker, I am sure you will not think it an impertinence if I write to tell you how very much I have enjoyed reading Dracula. I think it is the very best story of diablerie which I have read for many years etc.

Arthur Conan Doyle has one of the most delightfully legible handwriting styles of any 19thC writer. The letter below is to Bram Stoker, congratulating him on the publication of Dracula. Font people! Why has no-one made this into a font yet, like the Jane Austen font? #C19th

This sounds a verrrry interesting book. Love to read it if I'm lucky enough to qualify. 🤓

Muntjac Deer Have Bizarre Flaring Scent Glands On Their Face What in the Avatar are all these flaring facial flaps about?

There y'go... www.iflscience.com/muntjac-deer...

Somewhere on the net are clips of a munty opening and closing a pair of scent glands on the forehead that look like.... the stuff of nightmares.

Bollocks.

Folklore is a Palimpsest, a physical reminder that the past holds space in the presence. A living, breathing continuum. It calls out from the ephemeral, 'we were here. We lived, and we loved. We weren't so different from you'

Listen to more classical music. For every like, I shall recommend a good recording.

(I'm going to regret this, aren't I?)
