#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit. Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil. 1🧵 #PlaymobilÖtzi #PlaymobilInfestation

Plant medics!! 🪴🏥 I have this imperial green philodendron that has seen better days. I repotted him 3 weeks ago and he dropped 3 leaves and now the last one is about to go. Should I accept this is the end, or wait, or is there any prop and chop methods for philos w no aerial roots I could try?

*knocks wood* we’re back on algorithmic track and I now have that warm fuzzy feeling of reassurance that if I want to take a week or two off from social media, I will be heartily punished for it 😃 Tho tbf bsky seems to be very forgiving 🦋 plus i feel I can interact with history peeps better on here

And it's still $1500 for a spread today...if you're """lucky"""

Everyone pls pray for my scheduled insta post in an hour 🥲 my last post absolutely got ignored by the algorithm and I don’t think I’m mentally strong enough to try earn a living reliant on the robotic mood of an online programme

My landlord is selling up next month so I’m starting to prep for my next move and just HOW have I accumulated so much stuff 🥲 ok yes it’s 50% ancient history books and fun clothes but STILL

JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH! This gave me old Google back! It killed the AI results dead!

Two friends 🦛🌸🐗 Here’s a little throwback to my floral artefact series, where I illustrated ancient mediterranean archaeological artefacts with their native flora. These two were the first ones I drew; 🪷 Egyptian faience hippo with Nile lillies 🏺 Etruscan boar (rip) with laurel leaves

#Sundaymood Adorable 4,000 year-old ancient Egyptian resting hippo 🦛 💙 💤 Found in a Middle Kingdom tomb at the necropolis of Dra’ Abu el-Naga’, Thebes. Blue faience. Egyptian Museum, Cairo. 📷 by me #Archaeology

If I had tried learning how to draw 'the proper way' I probably would have given up as well. You don't need to get good before you get to draw the stuff you love, you get good because you love the stuff you draw and you don't stop.

One day the wound inflicted upon us by the treachery of Boar Vessel 600-500 BC Etruscan Ceramic will heal. But we will never love so trustingly again.
