This evening marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Pomegranates are seen as symbols of fruitfulness and wisdom, and are traditionally eaten at Rosh Hashanah. This small pomegranate-shaped juglet, excavated in Jerusalem, was made around 700–587 BCE. 📷 AN1968.1371

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I love the concept of this dictionary so much, it’s basically a travel guide book but for prostitutes!😄💋 #SexWork #London #History #Books

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.

The effect of car dependency: in 1940, Basil Rathbone was photographed wearing an overcoat outside his home. As more men relied on cars, overcoats became shorter to accommodate drivers. Today, the right is marketed as an "overcoat," even if it would've been considered more sport coat length in 1940.

The amazing Roman pharos (lighthouse) at Dover, still standing after almost 2,000 years! 🤩 The tallest surviving Roman structure in Britain, and one of only three surviving lighthouses from the former Roman Empire! Dated 1st-2nd century AD. 📷 by me #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology

🏺 Yet more #Neanderthal AI slop polluting YouTube, and one of these videos as usual claims my book is a source (in other words scraped, presumably from pirate copying). This stuff is so deeply unethical, exploitative of authors AND viewers (who even subscribes to such channels?!).

While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage. When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig. Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

Sorry guys no history fact for today I’ve been too busy and tired from substituting for a group of very adorable prek special needs students today, also one of them bit me a couple times! He’s still adorable though💜 I promise to post a good history fact tomorrow, so y’all aren’t in for a bad time💜

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall. It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?

Two adorable Egyptian figurines: a roaring hippo and a baby hippo, dating ca 1,800 BC. Hippos were associated with life and rebirth. On display at Neues Museum Berlin. 📷 me 🏺 AncientEgyptBluesky

Contributing to anti-doomscrolling with Max Linder, the sparkling French comedian who inspired Chaplin and is the earliest known movie star with his name on a poster (circa 1909).

Bluesky historians - I have a student that has made a transcription of 'The Arctic Moon' a short-lived hand-written polar newspaper from 1881 housed in the National Archive. She'd like to share it or to archive it. Any suggestions?

I love that Mantis is legally both a Marvel and DC superhero!💚🌌💚 #GaurdiansOfTheGalaxy #Marvel #Comics #History

A really good piece on Charlie Kirk, also a great example of how we should treat and react to the passing of vile and disgusting individuals.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

It's #RomanSiteSaturday & we've had a pretty great summer of getting around Roman Britian, with that in mind - think it might be time for a bit of a thread-of-threads 🧵👇 🏺AncientBluesky

Sorry gals and guys, but no history fact for today due to a wonderful day of guiding a entire elementary school, class by class to and from their book fair and helping them figure out how much things cost so they can come back later next week to buy it, truly adorable conversations with them ensued💜

This rather beaten up shabti once belonged to the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who was king during one of Egypt’s greatest periods of wealth and prosperity. He was the ninth king of the 18th Dynasty in the New Kingdom, reigning from c. 1390 BCE to 1352 BCE. 🧵1/8 #Egyptology

Nepal tried to ban 26 social media platforms and Gen Z formed an uprising to stop it. Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has resigned in the wake of public outrage over the killing of 22 people in police clashes with anti-corruption protesters.

Fellow scientists: Look what they took from us when we agreed to digital displays and LCD screens. We could have had dials, levers and weird gauges that vented steam inexplicably. Instead, we got beige boxes with iPads glued on them.
