We all need a timeline cleanse right now: A charming #Greek terracotta aryballos - a vessel used to hold oil - in the shape of a hedgehog 🦔. 6th century BC. On display at Antikensammlung München. 📷 me 🏺 AncientBluesky #archaeology

A small vessel shaped like a hedgehog, with textured ridges on its body resembling quills. The object has earthy tones of green, brown, and beige, and features a flat, circular spout on top. It is displayed on a reflective surface in a museum setting.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

This is Leo. And that’s a regular-sized tennis ball. He’d like to know when he’ll be big enough to catch it. 12/10 soon, buddy

a dachshund puppy sits on a concrete floor nervously chewing his cheek. his eyes are wide, his feet tiny. an enormous tennis ball, taller than he is, takes up the right half of the photo.

For #AncientSiteSunday a photo of the protection of the Sphinx at Giza against bombs during World War II. Sandbags were piled on a structure of stones and bricks, carefully placed around the statue's chin to protect the neck against breakage. Photo: Bob Landry 🏺 #AncientEgyptBluesky

The photo shows a the Sphinx with a large platform build of bricks and stones that goes right up to the chin. In the background one of the Pyramids of Giza can bee seen.

It's #NationalHedgehogDay so let's all just bask in the glory of this little bobby-dazzler of a hodgepig! 🦔 A darling little faience aryballos in the form of a hedgehog: Egyptian, ca. 6th-5th Century BC. Image: Walters Art Museum (48.2863). Link - art.thewalters.org/object/48.28...

The cosmetic vessel consists of a hedgehog shaped body on a small rectangular plinth, a neck with large lip, and a handle on top of the animal's back. The prickly body of this hedgehog is shown by a cross-hatched pattern. The eyes and the markings on the body have been added in a brownish-black glaze.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.
