🧵Back to Ryedale Museum and my favourite exhibit mainly because it tells a wonderful story of community. It is, the Farndale hearse. Victorian funerals were taken very seriously and a certain level of ceremony was expected. In some ways they were the equivalent of a present day wedding. These

Nobody could have seen this coming (except for anyone who has visited a previous exhibition at the BM and has spent a few seconds thinking about the logistics around blockbuster audiences and the logistics of having one massive object).

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

You know what we don’t do enough anymore? Big harvest festival orgies. No one wants to put on the animal mask to dance around the fire for the delight and edification of the village matriarchs. Instead, it’s all avocado toast and tiktoks.

I'll believe Burnham is a progressive when he brings forward laws to undo our historically hostile position against LGBTQ+ people, immigrants and refugees, and protesters. Until then he's just Blue Labour with better vibes.

I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

A intricately crafted incense storage container shaped like ship, made of bronze with a weathered patina. The container features a central lighthouse-like structure rising from its deck and is supported by Roman coins serving as decorative wheels, on is missing. The ship’s bow and stern are elevated and adorned with geometric carvings and porthole-like cutouts, enhancing its detailed, miniature design.
