Actually looks to be a Blanca de Rombo (15th C) from Enrique IV. There aren’t that many other possibilities given the beading and the square (rombo). And that looks like the lion paw to me.

I’m not an expert but I’m thinking early 17th, late 16th Century given some of its traits, like the beading. The edges also almost look clipped.

Sure would love to find the rest of this coin (Madrid).

Art of ages. Swirly-wirly Klinty-Pollocky colours in the geological map of the Iberian Peninsula all the way back to the ancient granites of Galicia.

I tried to find a store to buy some pants, but everything was still closed. Except the second-hand Oxfam thrift store. So, bleeding, I went in and bought some too-big (all they had) khakis. And went into work, stopping at the conference room to tell them I’d be a second.

Had a bit of a day! All’s fine. Wasn’t my motorcycle (it was one of those electric scooters that are janky, but I had to take for logistic reasons, and someone pulled out in front of me of me in the). But made for an interesting meeting with the new director!

I’ll never forgot the raddest pants I’ve ever seen (in Rome a couple years ago)

I get nostalgic for little things from my childhood that I know aren’t there (whether it be a distinctive sign on a corner on the way to my grandparents’ house or their house itself), I remember that everything I see every day now is that thing to my future self.

Emojis are preschooler pictographs.

“Americas* First”

The Spanish anarchists (CNT) apparently opposed a death sentence for the founder of Spain’s fascist party, the Falange, on the basis that he was ultimately a “patriot” with different ideas for Spain. That is truly remarkable.

Remember: it’s ok to be decent

No better feeling than turning my daughter’s frustration and negativity about math last year into her love for math this year. Really can’t explain the joy it brings me.

Someone was selling one cheap(ish). Soooo… now I have a micro panel, a speed editor, and the full editor keyboard

Questionable stylization.

Old man pretends he’s not sick

I’ve had a terrible virus for about a week. Problem is: a month ago I made a promise to the mother of my daughter’s best friend to help with their skating party (I’m the only one who skates). I won’t go back on that. Pray for Mojo.

I was sick today, but at least it let me be around to proof the sourdough.

I totally imagined it.

Krystalnacht

Cristalnacht

Two days in a row.

I had forgotten about these (Utah) photos from last year until I was looking for some other ones.

I get excited when I see circles. Post-war (1956) coin.

I noticed this about the NYT today as well. Most of the pieces on the landing page had a refreshingly direct tone.

Statue honoring José Calvo-Sotelo, the Spanish traditionalist, whose assassination in the summer of 1936 galvanized the right in the days before the Civil War. The muscular Christianity is represented as “monk-soldiers” (also seen at Valle de los Caídos)

Spain knew how to deal with them

Boquerones/Berberechos

my favorite part of online lately is getting a suggested post that feels like when you drive by somebody cleaning up the last of a really gnarly traffic accident, like you look upon it and go "something happened here that I will never know the details of"

I love this photo (1932, Spain) of the "widow Madariaga"

This is going to all be lulz + accelerationist black pilling, isn’t it?
