This beautiful ring is carved from a single piece of amber. It’s Egyptian and dated to the New Kingdom, so 16th-11th centuries BC. The inscription shows hieroglyphics but I can’t find any information that has a translation. Grateful if anyone knows. 🏛️📷 BM

@herring1967.bsky.social thanks for the vertigo chat with Isy. I think she's put a name on the undiagnosed thing I have. It's amazing how such a little thing can screw you up for weeks.

I talk about this a lot in "Lost Worlds" - the world didn't begin with people alive today, and it won't end with people today. Apocalypticism is a wonderful way of making it so you don't have to think about the real long-term consequences of your actions. If it's all going to end, why think further?

This marble anemoscope was used to indicate the direction of the wind. The names of the winds and their personifications in the act of blowing (hot?) air are engraved on the disc. It's thought to date from the C5th CE and can be found today in the Parco Archeologica del Celio, Rome. #AncientRome

It's completely absurd your have to press the shift key to get a colon but the semicolon is just there. This should be reversed. Hardly anyone uses semicolons correctly anyway; it should be binned.

French marine biologist Jeanne Villepreux-Power invented the first glass aquarium for scientific study in 1832. Her sealed tanks (with aeration & water stability) enabled live observation of sea creatures, which was revolutionary in marine research. She was born #OTD in 1794. #WomenInSTEM

80 hours of embroidery! This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art

The world’s largest battery-electric aircraft flew for the first time on the 12th of August, a 27-minute test flight over upstate New York that cost about five dollars in electricity. Heart Aerospace’s 30-seat prototype is a big step toward a commercial version. buff.ly/i3f0PhR #ShareGoodNewsToo

A reminder for book designers. The job of a spine is to be noticable, interesting and legible in a bookshop. The job of a cover is to be identifiable when someone cool is reading the book further down the carriage from you the tube.
