Midway through September’s #mudlarking exhibitions & it’s been a joy to meet so many of you & share the stories behind our foreshore finds. A favourite artefact with visitors has been my collection of 15th/16thC pinners’ bones. Fashioned from the cannon (leg) bone of a cow for the making of pins 1/

The sculpture is seen in profile with the head and chest dominating. The sculpture, whilst large, appears neat and compact, its short legs and paws are drawn in and there is no width in the shoulders. There is sharpness and detail to the features of the lions face. The eye, snout and whiskers are sharply defined. The ear, I think that’s what it’s meant to be, is folded or braided and resembles a horn that extends beneath the lions jawline. It looks a little like an Iron Age torc. Whilst its mouth is agape, the impression is not a fearsome one. Whilst I don’t wish to be facetious, the lion aesthetically does bear a passing resemblance to the characters in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Top Cat. That might not be a common association however!
The giant Basalt lion sculpture from the Ain Dara temple complex in Syria. The temple itself dates from around the 13th century BC and was discovered in 1955. The site was largely destroyed in 2018/19 and the lion sculpture was stolen, it’s condition and whereabouts are now unknown.

Imagine being Nikki Haley. You endure all the racism, threats, and hate from running against Trump in the primary, then eat your last shred of dignity and endorse him anyway. Then Dick fucking Cheney comes along and shows how low the bar for moral courage is that you couldn’t clear.

A Folho só não disse na manchete que isso aconteceu na Alemanha. Pq não disse? Pq sabe que a maioria só lê a manchete e vai achar que é no Brasil. Pense num jornalismo isento…
Cuidado com as pesquisas. Lembram do Datafolha acima da média em 2022 (para não falar do IPEC)? Isso foi em meados de agosto. Cerca de dois meses depois Lula praticamente empataria com Bolsonaro (no segundo turno).
I am not important enough to disagree with Le Guin, but I'm going to do it anyway: in this case she is reifying the idea of 'mythology' in a way that is unnecessary if not mildly ridiculous. Mythology is robust; the danger is not that it ends up diluted, but that it colonizes all stories it touches-

An animal control officer kneels next to a soccer net while holding a large beige owl with huge yellow eyes. The owl’s leg is tangled in the net. He looks like he’s complaining about his predicament.
