Our ballot tabulators will reject a ballot with stray marks on it - even if you made a check mark instead of filling in the bubble. The machine spits it out and the voter can trade that in for a fresh one to try again. (And my poll workers would Never.)

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting around, facing away from each other. Stealthily, Green turns around to look at Blue, who is oblivious to being watched.

Sneakily Green stretches himself out, landing a kiss on the back of Blue's head. Blue is mildly startled. As he turns around to look at Green, Green has already turned back the way he had been, acting oblivious.

🧵Early subscription libraries in Yorkshire emerged in the 18th century. These libraries allowed middle-class members to pool money to buy and preserve books. The most important example is The Leeds Library, founded in 1768 and the oldest surviving proprietary subscription

Wonderful ancient artistry! About 40,000 years ago, this small, graceful horse figurine was carved from mammoth ivory! Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is the world’s oldest known figure of a horse! 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology
My photo shows a profile view of a small horse figurine with head to the left, displayed against a dark background. Sculpted from mammoth ivory, the surface is a mottled greyish-earthy-brown colour with a shiny patina. It was once likely off-white in colour. The head is gracefully lowered with a long and elegant curving neck, and a convex curved back. The four legs are incomplete. The top of the tail remains. The eyes, nostrils, and mouth are carved as indents. It measures a mere 2.5 cm in height, 4.8 cm width, and 0.7 cm depth. 

The 'Vogelherd Horse' was excavated in 1931, together with a number of other ivory animal figurines from the Vogelherd Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany. It is the oldest known sculpture of a horse. On display at the Museum of Ancient Cultures, at Hohentübingen Castle, Tübingen, Germany.

The grand opening of this West Chester bookstore went exceptionally well. The owners had to close early after they almost sold out.
