a quiet day in
Can't get back Golestan Palace's hall of mirrors, not as it was, and I'm sad I'll never get a chance to see it.
(which, because of prior colonial looting parts were thankfully mostly safe (?) in Berlin)
Once again the US is involved in a war in the middle east and once again we're losing cultural heritage sites. I'm reminded of not only the heinous and preventable robbery of the National Museum of Iraq but also of American soldiers prying bricks out of what was left of Babylon's Ishtar Gate.
Really strongly considering making some more fake medieval texts after watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade last night; i think I could do a better monk manuscript.
Let alone all the early modern folk traditions using bible passages and so on - there's a really great bit of Anglo-Saxon medicine that uses a prayer everyone would know to measure the amount of time you should boil something for, thats ALSO religion and ALSO magic.
Hi #EarlyModern Bluesky - did you know that someone brilliant has built working printing presses using Lego and they are trying to get enough supporters so that Lego will release it as a kit?
They look so cool!

Meanwhile I'm chugging at least two monsters a day to manage my basic responsibilities
Fun to have it decided for me that I don't have ADHD because I'm "too successful" and have "too many stable relationships"
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
Bad news for the world, whch already suffers the consequences of my massive amounts of ADHD, and more specifically my housemates and neighbours: I now own a bugle and can produce a note from it.
just one.
so far.

Like it really sucks to be making even tentative escape plans from a country I've lived in all my life but you know, better safe (a dual citizen who can just Leave) then sorry (stuck here if & when the attempted genocide ramps up).
Yeah I'm done. You all want me dead but want to count on my vote? No way. Wild that I was so, so excited after the general election, that I thought there might be a real change, or even just like... being able to shuffle politics back a step in my brain.
abolish the home office. salt the earth
It's 2026.
Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician.
Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist.
Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow
People should be REALLY scared by this, it's normalising refusing healthcare to a section of the community for entirely ideological reasons with absolutely no medical reason
All the best oracle are saying, Donald, if you invade PERSIA, a great empire will fall! We love our ORACLES, especially as regards to Delphi and Future! thank you for your attention to this matter!
devising a new social media platform where you get three energy to spend every turn, posts can attack or defend, and the goal of the platform is slightly more obviously about defeating other commenters than here

As I read about neighborhoods bombed in Iran, I've been thinking about its historic sites. News today that Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dating to the 16th c was hit.
Damn I don't think I've seen the intolerance label before lmao
or according to recent news from pokopia a gangaro girl??
I like that my friends have all decided bulbasaur is My Thing (you get ONE flash tattoo...) and now I have three plushes, one 3D printed plant pot, a gunpla, a figurine, and my best-beloved needle-felted little bulba. it makes me very happy. he's a sweet little dude.
Terracotta desire, adoration glaze. (2023)
it means complicated travel plans for the whole polycule
