We’ve been watching much of The Brokenwood Mysteries #cheeserolls #mrsmcolm #brokenwoodmysteries

Is it worth staying up late to keep on top of the Rapture as it is happening today (only in evangelical USA, of course)? In all seriousness though, mass paychosis is horrible to witness! Plenty of people quitting jobs and selling cars, some pundits are predicting unalivings too.

I love ordering something, forgetting about it and months later getting a lovely surprise 🖖

I enjoyed Idiocracy at the time (2006), but the recent live action version is utterly devastating to see play out.

Sad medieval kitty plays his lute, based on the musical orange cat in the Book of Hours, 1430. 🛍️ tephraarts.etsy.com/listing/4373... #middleages #medieval #orangecat #illuminatedmanuscripts #archives #history

Has anyone else seen there is another “rapture is coming” upsurge in evangelical americana? Apparently the schedule is 23/24 September this time. They are still running late on the rapture planning for 1,000 AD though…

Elegance is a way of life 😻

The Cucuteni-Trypillian culture spanned parts of Moldova, Romania & Ukraine from 7,000 yrs ago & featured early large-scale urbanisation. Like many other prehistoric cultures, female “goddess” figurines are prominent in the archaeological record. Lines on the figurines’ bodies may represent tattoos.

Jaysus, the latest season of Foundation was a lot 😱

I was influenced by some tiktokkers to start playing with playdoh for printing! It has potential, and I like the imperfectness of it (very wabi suki). I’ll be testing it on medieval tiles next!

Playing around with rock art style figures and stencilling technique. Do you like the red background or should I explore a more natural rock tonal range? #archaeology #prehistoric #rockart

Another thing I wanted to have in stock for ages and now finally have sorted: golden trowel earrings Trowels are one of the most popular items in my shop (alongside arrowheads, scales and cuneiform items). 🛍️ tephraarts.etsy.com/listing/4365... #archaeology #archaeologist #geology #geologist

Lording over everything 😸

There is a TV show called The Marlow Murder Club where crimes are solved by a retired archaeologist 📺🏺💀 Goals

We know that his effort is a dog whistle for hatred. Mass protests are planned the week of 1 October outside council buildings, I fear for the safety of our communities. Complaicency may keep you personally safe, but it doesn’t help anyone else We survive alone, but we thrive together ✊

I, an immigrant, cycled around Lawrence Weston to see how many “operation flag” installations on oublic land there are Some shoddy artwork on the ground to start

Sorry to my customers in the USA, I had to turn off Etsy sales due to Trump-imposed import tariffs. There’s lots of chaos with postal services. I will reinstate sales as standard if I ever can (ditto to all my EU customers 😭 screwed by Brexit still!) #Etsy DM to discuss USA options/exceptions

The flag-installation project has hit my local neighbourhoods in Bristol too, see in facebook. A quick look at the profiles of supporters showcases anti-brown/black hate & anti-immigrant sentiments. Any pushback receives anti-Muslim & anti-Palestinian flag comments (while claiming to be oppressed).

Be still my beating scifi heart 🩷 with three amazing shows in one week - Foundation, Strange New Worlds & Invasion. Plus the zany fun of Twisted Metal and new South Park!

@taskmaster.tv Can we please get Anthony Mackie on the show? He would be so perfect!

I’m a crafter but I am also extremely impatient; this is not a great combination. Literally waiting for paint to dry when I have a new idea is slightly torturous!
