New Sci. Am. article looks at sediment in ancient Roman sewer systems and found that Romans guarding Hadrian's wall were full of whipworms, roundworms, and Giardia. And there was no cure, either. You were infected for life. www.scientificamerican.com/article/anci...

On the 11th day of fossils, my true love gave to me... 11 Cambrian fossils from the Great Basin. The Great Basin is a large area of Utah and Nevada that was under water 500 million years ago. Life was experimenting and there's lots of strange creatures found here. 1/x #12DaysofFossils

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

It has been a good year for sheep in churches. In January, this lamb and flag in St Faith's, Shellingford, had clearly & confidently run the gauntlet of the long-snouted beastie at the door. Perhaps a dragon but possibly a wolf!

Merry Christmas 🎄

Ah. *Applied* mathematics.

Had a random lucky wee visitor at Christmas dinner, now safely in a cosy bug hotel spot to hibernate 🐞

Caroline Bird So good! A masterclass, really, in efficiency: the essence of a sonnet in 14 words, including volta; the destabilizing yet utterly apt image; the kite string of the poem letting the title soar...

Happy Holidays from our Rock Band to yours!

"Drink some of his coffee", they said "Mark won't notice", they said. I'm NEVER playing in their rein-dog games again.

We’re all just merry & bright over here. Hope you are all, too!

Merry Christmas 2025, Dragoons From our stables to yours, may have you have a joyous day with your favorite people (or whatever relatives you’re stuck with!), and we’ll see you when the Regiment reconvenes from block leave soon. wp.me/sae4WL-xmas2025

Sorry, clarification - I have an immediate need for an Illustration to go with a translation of my short story Children of Dagon and wondered if anyone here had a piece showing a seal/human creature - ideally with a ruined city landscape - ready to go, that I could haggle for. Should be SFW

Actually if someone has a nice atmospheric shot of flooded modern city ruins / a subway especially that would also serve.

Aftermath of Christmas morning, we’re all right there with you, Rory.

December 25th. The day the Fellowship departs Rivendell to destroy the One Ring. Whatever you celebrate, may you have the courage to take the first steps to defy and endure against the dark, and rekindle light into the world.

I hope it has a happy ending.

I have a turkey breast in the oven. I haven't cooked turkey for years, so this'll be fun. Have some casserole things to put in later and going to roast taters. Just for D and I; she's had a sinus infection, so dinner with her brother and sister is off until Sunday. The excitement is palpable.

Merry Christmas from somewhere near Greensboro, NC.

December 25: A really great day to remind people who try and tell you otherwise that actually, Mithras didn’t even have a birthday—he was born from a rock 🪨—and Christmas really doesn’t have anything to do with Mithraism. Mythbusting: the gift that keeps giving historical truth.

Gifted a new wallet and new bag from the family because apparently I need to “accessorize age appropriately” or put more directly “dad your backpack is lowkey chopped”

I’m (happily) on my own for Christmas dinner. So, I’m planning the BEST CHRISTMAS SANDWICH EVER!!!!!! I have Gaillot et Grey sourdough, best bread in Dublin, turkey, ham etc. Do feel free to offer suggestions below, as the pursuit of excellence in Christmas sandwiches is truly a collective effort
