Dear fucking gods! My dipshit neighbor has been out there with his leaf blower for at least half an hour. I can't record while he's out there and the sound of it is starting to break my brain.

My first ever Naomi Novik novel was the first Temeraire book. I never finished it. Just did not care for it at all. Summer War had me in both tears and laughter and is, like so many of her other books (Spinning Silver and the Scholomance books especially), one of my absolute favorite books.

I recently used the phrase, "Luck favors the prepared," and it got me thinking about translating it into Latin or Anglo-Saxon. And then, of course, I also realized it would make an amazing advertising campaign for contraception. Because... my brain.

We, as a society and perhaps a species, have so often failed to hold men to account for their actions that it taints every interaction that men have. Granting that, I still get angry when I and other men are excluded based solely on our gender.

Something lovely for the weekend! Minoan cups made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo collage shows five cylindrical Minoan cups each with a single handle and a slightly flaring rim. Each cup is decorated with a different geometric polychrome motif as follows:

Top left: on a black background, a central band delineated by an upper and lower white line contains evenly-spaced dark-orange circles, each orange circle is outlined by a white line. Above and below the central band are swirling white vine-like lines.

Top right: on a black background, a large white spiral on the front of the cup and beside it a dark-orange oval with stylised white petals at each end which looks like a wrapped sweet!

Middle left: a central band of white and dark orange diagonal lines runs around the cup. Above and below the central band are alternating black and white diagonal shapes, the black ones look like shark fins

Bottom left: a central reddish-orange band delineated with a white line. Above the central band are swirling, spiralling white lines against a black background, and below the central band are alternating white and black diagonal lines.

Bottom right: all set against a black background. A central band delineated with white lines contains white ‘s’-shaped diagonal white stripes. Above the central band a row of red dots outlined with white circles. Below the central band a single white line on the black background.

This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida on the Greek island of Crete where this kind of pottery was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items produced by palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups were excavated at Phaistos and are dated 1800-1700 BC.

We're moving into the end game. The fascists are not pretending at all. The takeover is near to complete. No accountability means that there are no legal means to make change. The only non-violent response that we have left would be a general strike.
