iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

At 42, this garden has become my total happy place! At 22, I would have taken the full piss out of today me. God I love getting older- giving zero f**cks about what any else thinks!

Happy earth day. I really hope we can get our shit together soon as a species so we can become the stewards we are meant to be.

As I get older, I increasingly realise that cats have got life totally nailed. Sleep all day. Eat. Get tummy rubs. Stay within 100m of your house. Hang around with cat people. Hiss at things that piss you off. Do as you please and ignore all the rules.

Was just looking into unprocessed trauma in adults, WHO says 70-80% of adults experience trauma. Conservative estimates are that 25-50% are carrying that trauma in their bodies. This is #hottake on why we feel so fucking shit…

@yaelrice.bsky.social and I co-authored this piece precisely to combat misguided work like this so people don't have to constantly rehearse the arguments about why it's specious. We laid it all out here for you! hyperallergic.com/604897/how-s...

How Scientists Use and Abuse Portraiture

Many scientific studies assume that the features of painted faces are the facts of the flesh-and-blood countenances to which they refer. This assumption is not only false; it is preposterous.

Refusing to share the "reconstruction" of the face of a woman buried in the Shaft Graves at Mycenae. No, this doesn't let us "look at the face of the past". No, it's not surprising a modern reconstruction (ignoring all the actual grave finds discussed in the article!) looks "incredibly modern" 🏺
