I've always felt something was missing in my life. Now I know what it is ...

🌸 As we head full-on into Spring in the northern hemisphere (despite what the weather outside might be telling me), it makes me think of these lotus flowers from ancient Egypt that I photographed for Manchester Museum's 'To Have and To Heal' project in 2021. 1/2 #FindsFriday #AncientEgypt #TinyJoys

"Pooja Saini, professor of suicide and self-harm prevention at Liverpool John Moores University: 'Medical training has historically given very limited attention to menopause and often focused even less on prescribing and managing HRT.'"

See how this cup completely transforms with light 👉️👉️ This cup was produced in Iran during the 12th century. It is made from fritware and decorated with a colourless glaze. ‘Glory, prosperity and fortune to its owners' reads the inscription which appears across the cup.

‼️My part-time work with the EES is coming to an end this month, and I'm going back to being fully self-employed. I've got some exciting new projects planned, including a book and a photography club. More info here 👉 tetisheri.substack.com/p/all-change... #AncientEgypt #Photography #History

🏺A tiny (8 cm) pot found during John Garstang's excavations at the ancient site of Koshtamna in Sudan, seemingly plain until you realise all those marks in the surface were made by straw inclusions in the clay. It's details like that that make me happy ... Photo © me. #FindsFriday #TinyJoys

🏺 Bronze statuette (11.4 cm) of Harpocrates (Horus the Child), personification of the reborn morning sun. He's recognised by his crown, sidelock-of-youth hair, his finger at his mouth, and ... his complete butt-nakededness. Now at the @garstangmuseum.bsky.social. Photo © me #AncientEgypt #TinyJoys

Massive sense of achievement, sorting all this out, of course, but now my brain feels like it's leaking out my ears ... 😵‍💫

Holy crap, changing email providers for my business account is brain mushing 🥴 (I have to be my own IT support). But after a call to my domain hosts and c.2hrs trying to work out how to import my emails, they're now copying from Google Workspace to a more ethical, Europe-based provider 🥳

... and experimenting... Windows-Shift-hyphen (ie underscore on my keyboard) gives you an em-dash! I'd already set up LibreOffice to autocorrect -- to –, --- to —, and –- to —, but this will be helpful everywhere else 💪

If you haven't alread, pull your stuff from Academia edu IMMEDIATELY, especially if you have unpublished and draft ideas on there.

I was today-years-old when I discovered (completely by accident by pressing the wrong keys) that pressing the Windows key and the hyphen key gets you an en-dash. A whole new world has opened up to me! #TinyJoys

Amulet of Thoth in his form as a seated baboon, patron deity of scribes. The crescent & full moon on his head reflect his lunar connection. Dating from around the New Kingdom, the amulet is only 5.5 cm tall, and is in the collection at Manchester Museum. Photo © me #FindsFriday #TinyJoys #TinyEgypt

Osiris on his throne in the Hall of Judgement. Detail, just a few cm tall, from the Book of the Dead. The papyrus is broken where it was rolled up, and the fragments had slipped inside the glass, so I realigned them in Photoshop tetisheri.co.uk/repairing-pa... #FindsFriday #TinyJoys #AncientEgypt

Because employees could do more, work began bleeding into lunch breaks and late evenings. The employees' to-do lists expanded to fill every hour that AI freed up, and then kept going.

One for #TinyJoys, of course!

Carnelian bead carved in the shape of a hyena's head, with that distinctive ridge of fur on its neck. Unprovenanced, sadly, but now at the @garstangmuseum.bsky.social. Oh, one other thing ... it's literally a centimetre big ... 🤯🔬 Photographed for my #TinyEgypt project. Photo © me. #FindsFriday

I do love a Predynastic red-and-buff decorated pot like this. The painted decoration depicts people on a boat, with a standard in the centre. This early Egyptian art is so full of character. Photographed January 2019 for the Before Egypt exhibition by the Garstang Museum of Archaeology. Photo © me.

Excellent and empoweringe educacioun will nevir be "efficient" yn the waye that a businesse doth stryve to be "efficient." It ys the heighte of knavery to use one standarde to measure everye human activitye. Businesses are ther to make profits. Educacioun ys ther to make the future.

I'm always excited to see one of my photos featured in the amazing Nile magazine. This one is of a stela with a possible depiction of Tutankhamun, and is part of the December issue's review of Ancient Egypt in 50 Discoveries, a book I helped produce as @theees.bsky.social's Publications Manager 😎

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

New read to get stuck into over Christmas. A gift from my mum, inspired by the conversation we had recently, reminiscing about the time she took me to see the Lindow Man – an ancient body preserved in a peat bog – at Manchester Museum in the late 80s, and what a formative experience it was for me.

Is the plural of ibex is ibeces?

A weary look that says he’s seen it all. I have a similar energy, as I head into my Saturnalia and Christmas holidays. Small marble statuette of Thoth sitting on a pillar from the Roman period Egypt. Now held in the Allard Pierson🏺 #Egyptology #AncientBluesky

Guys, it didn't work ... I'm now on antibiotics for a chest infection (yay for the marvels of modern medicine!).

Did you see the recent British Museum YT video where they've been using Ancient Egyptian magic to fix problems?

Today, I am petitioning the goddess Sekhmet to rid me of this virus that's dragged on for two weeks now 🤧 Faience amulet, 6.1 cm tall, dating to the 23rd Dynasty. From Haraga in Egypt, now in the collection at Manchester Museum. #FindsFriday #AncientEgypt #Egyptology

Here in the UK, it's cold, it's dark and it's wet, so for those of us running headlong into the darkest part of the winter, here's an ancient ceramic lamp from the Levant to light up your day. 📷 by me for @jennycromwell.bsky.social's 'Ancient History, Contemporary Belonging' project #FindsFriday

Ah, geek humour is the best ... 😂

I do love a good sketched ostracon! tetisheri.co.uk/artefacts-in... #AncientEgypt #Egyptology

It's been a bit chilly over the last in the UK, so for #FindsFriday, here's a rather gorgeous Roman Period knitted children's sock to help your toesies feel cosy. It was found in Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, and is now in the collection at Manchester Museum. 📷 © me #Egyptology #AncientEgypt

Seriously, show me how to use Affinity and DxO Nik on Linux and give me a month where I have a spare hundred quid to move work and personal email and cloud storage to Proton, and I'll be done with #Microsft and #Google ...

Well, here's the article, folks ... hope you enjoy it! #AncientEgypt #Egyptology #MuseumPhotography tetisheri.co.uk/artefacts-in...

My #Egyptology friends here may recognise this fabulous small limestone ostracon, from Campbell Price's social media accounts. The artwork depicts a funeral, and it's the subject of my next Artefacts in Focus article, dropping tomorrow morning at tetisheri.substack.com #FindsFriday #AncientEgypt
