An amazing glimpse into Mesolithic everyday life: this more than 7,500-year-old ring was made from heather roots, carefully rolled up and prepared for later use. It was discovered at the settlement of Motala/Sweden, where the same material was used for fish traps. Dating 5750–5550 BC. 🧵1/2 📷me

A thick bundle of dried plant roots, tightly rolled into a ring and secured with fibrous ties, displayed on a dark grey museum plinth.

Q: You voted in favor of the war in Iran. It's proven to be pretty unpopular. What do you see as the offramp here? HUSTED: First of all, I didn't- that's not what that vote was. Here's the bottom line. These are the people that want higher gas prices right now. Iran, Russia, & Democrats in Congress

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Onagadori Rooster. Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 85 × 132 mm, 2022.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of an Onagadori rooster with long flowing tail covert feathers on a plum blossom branch. The rooster's comb and wattle are the only spots of red. The piece is smaller than a postcard and is photographed with the traditional Chinese brush it was drawn with.

Not everything in life will make sense when we want it to. Some paths only become clear with time. When you can’t understand what God is doing, keep walking, keep trusting, and stay open to grace. Providence may be mysterious - but you are never abandoned. #ThoughtForTheDay St. Eugene de Mazenod 🙏✨

Sep 25 Scripture Jesus' question, "Who do the crowds say I am?" and "Who do you say that I am?" emerge from his "prayer in solitude" (Lk 9:18). Peter's reply that he is the "Christ of God" does not distract Jesus from his mission as the suffering Messiah. Prayer grounded Jesus and it should us too.

The best kind of masculinity is the kind that doesn't give a fuck if you wear a tutu and have a beard because your daughter wants you to be a fairy princess. Or if your son wants to be on the dance team, not baseball. Men are not defined by what some idiot thinks is masculine.

Sept 21 - Feast of Apostle Matthew If "Your friends describe you" is true, then Jesus was doing a very bad job. He hung out with social outcasts and he even called one of them to follow him (Mt 9:9-13). But Jesus makes it a teaching moment: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." May we learn the lesson.

1/ Schools are back, which means respiratory viruses are starting to pick up right on schedule. How do we track those numbers? One of the things we watch is influenza-like illness, or ILI. Each week, clinicians report how many patients they’re seeing with symptoms like fever, cough, and sore throat.

Sep 11 Scripture Paul's words, "I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight as if I were shadowboxing" (1 Cor 9:26) works as a summary statement for today's scripture. We live life with a certain perspective - the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus. It makes all the difference, even on 9/11.
