liked the gladiator two trailer but i can't believe Ridley Scott would make a historical error this big: they didn't have cameras back then so it was impossible to make a movie about gladiators. Next time he should hire a real historian to consult with

The book took some eight years to produce. It was used to calculate the celestial latitude and longitude of the planets and also cast horoscopes (this map of constellations in the book includes the signs of the zodiac - and is quite beautiful up close).

For #WorldBeeDay I’m going to share one of the WILDEST things (literally) about @Rosslynchapel. So, I usually tell people that all the things you think are weird about Rosslyn are fairly normal, and the things you think are normal are actually extremely weird… 🧵

Kinda sentimental iconography but at least she is making a statement about her own role in salvation history

It happened to me: I went to mute a super annoying group chat and accidentally responded "you're welcome " to someone else being thanked. AMA

this is so touching. they may be reincarnated souls who'd once lived in that very house; & are now exiled to dwelling beneath the deck. cannot comprehend why they are no longer inside sitting upright while eating, using cutlery, watching TV, vaguely discontented with their lives.

Raccoons are smart enough to see humans live fascinating lives. While the skunks and possums on my deck only want food, the raccoons stand with hands on the glass watching life inside. They peer around curiously if I open the door and only take the proffered food as afterthought.

I feel like some people should maybe not comment on the lack of protection of female royals...

The last two months have shown everyone that the royal family could have protected Princess Diana & Meghan Markle. They chose not to.

Translation of Motaz’s post. Alt text included.
“The stage of risking everything to bring you the news has ended, now begins the stage of trying to survive. I’ve brought you enough news, as god is my witness, in order to save my country. We are now facing an internal siege. We can’t move north or south. Israeli tanks surround central Gaza on both the northern and southern ends. Our situation is more dire than you can imagine. Remember: we are not content for you to share. We are a people facing genocide, we are a cause attempting to stay alive, alone.”

A small child runs up to Zoë. I body block and stops her for a second, look around and punt her straight across the field with my right, it looks like it's gonna go wide but then it curves around the keeper and hits the back of the net. The crowd goes wild.
