This toddler even sleep talks about dinosaurs 🦖

Something perversely satisfying about getting the "you've hit your activity goal" notification while relaxing after the run.

The Roman bridge, Córdoba. What of what we create today will still be in use in 2,000 years?

A new favorite: alcachofas confitadas con jamón! 😋👌

An interesting evolution on Threadz: while it started out mostly text day one, in one week it's gotten all gif-ey, meme-y. It's like the line between IG and Threadz is blurring.
