Made a quick video of the backdrops I made for one of the groups in Uruguay's Carnaval. Apart from the creation of it I also ran/VJ them live. Tomorrow I have two more groups live and will soon show those too!

Screenshots of posts from the US Capitol Police on Twitter: Our officers just arrested a person with what appears to be a gun near the West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building. Please avoid the area. We will provide more information when new information is confirmed. Maryland Avenue is temporarily closed between First and Third Streets, SW, while we investigate.

Photo of Silvius and Minima, the Latin mice, cooking pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Silvius is standing on an upturned pot to reach the table, and he's lifting a pancake with a wooden spatula. Minima is steadying a pile of pancakes on a dish. On the table are flour, honey, milk, a ladle, a whisk and a sieve.

hodie mures coquunt (Today the mice are cooking). Minima sartaginem in mensam ponit; Silvius lucunculum spathā tollit (Minima puts the frying pan on the table; Silvius lifts the pancake with a spatula). bene sapiat (bon appetit)!

Best to ask your allies and ancestors

How ramshackle, how brilliant, how haphazardly and strangely rendered we are. Gloriously, fantastically mixed and monstered. We exist as phantom, monster, miracle, each a theme park all one's own.

Paleo-Inuit people braved icy seas to reach remote Greenland islands 4,500 years ago, archaeologists discover Archaeological remains on the Kitsissut islands off the coast of Greenland reveal that whole communities regularly journeyed across the dangerous Arctic waters.

Paleo-Inuit braved 33-mile icy seas to reach remote Greenland islands ~4,500 years ago, showing advanced boats and navigation skills. Their repeated journeys for food and community life reveal how innovative early Arctic seafarers truly were.

Going after observers is so 2 weeks ago. They are now going after people delivering groceries to families who don’t feel safe going out to shop. Volunteers have to worry more about safety than protesters do.

Photo of Minimus and Silvius, the Latin mice, dressed as Britons and holding a mouse-sized carnyx (based on the amazing specimen recently excavated in Norfolk). Minimus is wearing a tartan kilt and a gold torc, while Silvius has a green and white checked cloak. Minimus' arms are too short to hold the instrument at the proper angle, so Silvius is helping him to support it.

investigatores antiquitatis nuper carnycem in Icenis effoderunt (Archaeologists recently dug up a war trumpet in Iceni territory). Minimus carnycem suum inflat; Silvius eum iuvat (Minimus blows his own war trumpet; Silvius helps him).

Photo of Lego minifigures of Helen (illustrator and mouse wrangler) and Minimus the Latin mouse, at the bottom of an almost empty cup of coffee. I'll be posting students' work as well as my own for the 10th International Lego Classicism Day before and after the official day, 20th February

Two crows are flying through a snowstorm. "I can hardly see a thing!" yells one, "We can't keep going like this!" The other one replies "Let's take a break!" They land in a snow-covered field, the snow is falling gently. "Oh!" exclaims one while looking around at the peaceful scene, "It's so beautiful when you aren't fighting against it."

Two ponies drinking from a moorland stream in preparation during a break in their long trek to a magic, moss-covered castle to buy some ketamine from a wizard. P.S. I guarantee someone will write "I thought that was a gorilla for a moment" in the replies to this.

Sometimes a walk on Dartmoor is a bit like passing through a curtain in reality that leads directly into a fairy tale.

We let go of the false idea that anything could be different right now, in this very moment.

Instead: the sounds. Instead: the sight. Instead: the feelings.

Instead: everything just as it is.
