I cant be the only one who sees the last few Christmas trees waiting outside stores or tree selling locations and feel sad for them? Like I want to adopt all the lonely Charlie Brown trees?

I am coming to all of you, to repeat, once again, the β€œA” in LGBTQIA DOES. NOT. STAND. FOR. β€œALLY.”

It’s for people on the ACE spectrum.

If you were an actual ally, you’d know that.

I decided I needed a pair of handmade, replica viking/medieval brass clothes pins for my collection of accessories (6cm long, sorry I forgot to add any sense of scale here). Arrived from Germany today. Nice πŸ‘ŒπŸ€“

My photo shows a small Proto-Corinthian clay aryballos (perfumed-oil container) in the shape of an owl with a pouring hole in the tail. Height 5 cm, Width 6.4 cm. The owl is perched with its tail to the left and head to the right. It leans slightly forwards with head turned so that its large eyes face the viewer. The owl’s chest is painted black. The eyes and plummage are intricately detailed in black on a yellowy-cream slip. Three rows of feathers in the wing plumage are painted alternately in red and black. Dated c. 640 BC
