Health update. My oncologist is a happy woman! My eyesight is improving. I just need some help paying for a CT Scan, next month's meds and new glasses. Some not so great family news included too, but I'm really hoping it all turns out for the best. www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

Just saw somebody on YouTube comment "Tulips were basically the NFTs of the 1630s" and you know what, A+ analogy

Neo-Assyrian chalcedony amulet of the demon Pazuzu, who was called upon - and this is quite convenient, really - for protection against *other* demons (681-627 BCE). Seen recently in the “Cursed” exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art.

So I just found this movie on Tubi (Canada) and the trailer looks incredible and the wiki entry is “Viy is a 1967 Soviet Gothic dark fantasy folk horror film” and I am so stoked to watch it 👀

I need to make sure you all heard that right because this did not make enough noise the first time around—THE Crawford, Stoker, World Fantasy and British Fantasy award winning Usman T. Malik, who has published incredible short fiction for over twenty years, will have a DEBUT NOVEL out NEXT YEAR

Guys. The Ancient Greeks weren't white. They were more like cephalopods than modern humans -- their skin was bioluminescent and constantly shifting its color. And they didn't live in in idyllic seaside villages; they could only survive near deep-ocean vents. They DID have Matt Damon accents, though

you know what golden red rump’s my tarantula?

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone

Such a coy boy! #DailyDoggo

Troy, to the extent it existed relative to its role in Homer's epic, was a cosmopolitan center in which people of many ethnic origins lived and traded. As always, attempts to make history a scaffold for white supremacy reflect only the white supremacy of the people making said attempts.

Very happy about my mini bog. Are all these plants native to PA, no. They bring me great joy though. Three years in we are finally forming a nice moss covering and the grass orchids have multiplied. The Xyris grass is also spreading. The pitchers are getting bigger slowly.

the internet used to be mostly images like this
