The boardgame club I started 18 months ago is becoming a proper non-profit association tonight! We've brought together dozens of new friends and even sparked our first romantic relationship - the final sign that Ipswich Boardgame Club is real :D

Light Phenomenon above the Swamp by Jaroslav Panuška (1872 - 1958)

My favourite historical find is always village weirdo who spent life making scary and/or cute little guys out of animal bones. Gotta be my favourite thing people do. 13,000 years later we still look at a lion with wings and go 'yeah that rules'. I truly believe we would all get along.

Happy Christmas ✨️🎄 Two deer following each other nose to tail. The sculpture of swimming reindeer was carved about 13,000 years ago in what is now modern-day France by a Magdalenian sculptor who carved the artwork from the tip of a mammoth tusk. www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...

It's very important that Americans stop caring about what a bunch of dead guys intended by the constitution. Fix your mess.

Tiny Tome: A Kiss from a Rose

This cracked clay tablet from the 1800s BCE preserves the moment a baby named Ili-awīli was adopted from his mother Ayartum and her husband by another couple. People adopted for many reasons in ancient Mesopotamia — desire for a baby, need for an heir, adopting child from a previous marriage, etc.

Tabletop gamers, this Ransom Note is for you (regardless of pronoun) you're beautiful

The "Hurrian Hymn No. 6" is recognized as the oldest known piece of music, originating around 1300 BC. This piece was unearthed in Ugarit, an ancient Syrian city, and is inscribed in the Hurrian language on a clay tablet that also includes musical notation. @HistoryUnd #globalmuseum

It's not a serious country.

You don't want to put the work in You just want a taste of the shine Real talk, so it's hard to trust I'm in it for the long ride, like I drive a charter bus www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YiH...

Heh heh, far out man. I haven't seen a bong in 1800 years.

In my heart there is a Magic-built deckbuilding RPG.

I walk around late cross a bridge & cross a bridge back Never passed a quiz for a bridge troll's trick bag Even if he offers 3 guesses I appreciate the interest but will not be taking questions I will be taking any route I want including dead ends To any place I want including all the many heavens

A central plank of the fascist argument is 'We win fights.' They claim physical dominance and every broken jaw weakens that argument. All them fascists really are bound to lose.

Protect ya chin

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.
