What is that, lurking in the forest?! Giving serious folk horror vibes, this is the weird carved stone known as 'Le Babouin' (the Baboon) in the woods near Trédion in Brittany. No-one knows who made it, or when, or indeed why. #StandingStoneSunday

weird specific observation- in a world where everything is getting more and more expensive, the one thing that is getting cheaper and more widely available is the aesthetic cat tree. cat owners were an untapped market and someone finally noticed. too bad i already paid too much for a mediocre one

A horse gin in Kent. With its own little house made of reused timber, possibly from the nearby 13th century house that was rebuilt at about the same time as the horse gin was installed to raise water from a well. #ArchitecturalIllustration #pencil #drawing #ArtShare
A horse engine or gin. It consists of a drum to which is fixed a rope that is turned by a beam that was attached to a horse via a harness. The horse used to wind the rope by walking in a circle on a paved path. The apparatus is built under a thatched roof made with timbers reused from older structures.

Hey! You! You're probably not looking at enough art! I've made this to help you out. bsky.app/profile/did:... (You should also follow the artists, and buy their artwork from them directly, or support them on patreon etc because that's a very cool thing to do.)

Happy (?) Ides of March to all those who celebrate. It was on this date in 44 BCE that several members of the Roman senate objected to Julius Caesar having declared himself Dictator perpetuo (‘Dictator in perpetuity’) in the strongest possible terms (*stab, stab*). 🔪 🏺 1/ #IdesofMarch 📸 me
The so-called 'Green Caesar' portrait. There are no surviving portrait statues of Julius Caesar created during his lifetime (100-44 BC), although coins bearing his likeness provide reliable evidence for his appearance. All extant sculptures are posthumous, dating from the time of the Julio-Claudian emperors who honored him as the founder of the dynasty. This extraordinary. over-life-size example is carved from graywacke, a hard sandstone that was quarried at Wadi Hammamat in the Eastern Desert of Egypt and was long used for Egyptian sculptures.

Romano-Egyptian, probably made in Alexandria, Egypt, ca. 30 BCE - 25 CE. Graywacke.

Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Antikensammlung, SK 342The Ides of March denarius, issued by Marcus Junius Brutus, is one of the most famous and historic coins ever minted. It commemorates the assassination of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BCE, an event that later inspired many works of art, literature, opera, and film. Caesar had declared himself "perpetual dictator" at the beginning of that year, thereby directly prompting the assassination plot by Brutus and a group of other senators who feared for the survival of the Republic under his tyrannical rule. The reverse of the coin shown here not only bears the inscription naming the day of the murder but also depicts two daggers representing the weapons used to stab Caesar to death, as well as a cap usually worn by slaves who had earned their freedom, symbolizing here the liberation of Rome. 

Inscription: BRVT IMP L PLAET CEST (Brutus, Imperator, Lucius Plaetorius Cestianus), head of Brutus, EID MAR (Ides of March), pileus (felt cap symbolizing liberty), and two pugio-style daggers, which were associated with the Roman military.

Rome, 43-42 BCE.

Folk faith sorceries often deploy like to thwart like. A system of sympathetic magic to defeat hostilities believed to be walking abroad. The placement of Wicker Queens on agricultural land as field wards is an example of imitative practice and many a farmer will tell you it works. – Dr. M. Benn

The Georgian pendant vaulting of the nave at St John's Episcopal church, Edinburgh. The work of William Burn, 1815-18, the thin wall shafts leading to fan vaults give the illusion that the walls are wavy, but they aren't. All the vaulting is non-structural, of course. 1/2

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

A noir-style illustrated poster titled “The Case of the Disappearing Copyright.” The Lockette—a cartoon character whose body is an open yellow padlock—cautiously steps out of an open vault marked with a copyright symbol. A strong beam of light shines from outside the frame, casting a large copyright symbol onto the floor. Floating eyes and a magnifying glass with a question mark evoke a detective mystery. Red footprints lead toward the open vault door. Text reads: “Public Domain Day 2026” and “Jan 21st @10am PT: Virtual.” Illustrated by Freya Morgan. Text to the right reads "Tomorrow! Online Celebration! Watch Worldwide!"

It's rare to spot glass gravestones in a cemetery, but it seems fitting in a place like Venice. This one is gorgeous - it looks like a window! If you look closely, you can see an etching of a man in the glass. /8
