This ancient Egyptian bronze of a mother cat nursing her kittens is a scene which feels instantly familiar thousands of years later! 🐈‍⬛ 🐾😍 The cat represents the ancient Egyptian goddess Bastet in her role as protector of mothers and children. 📷 Brooklyn Museum #Caturday #Archaeology

This Brooklyn Musem image shows a small bronze group of a mother cat and four kittens set on bronze base, which is in turn set on a wooden base. The mother cat is reclining on her left side with legs outstretched and her head at right. Her left fore and hind legs lie forward while her right fore and hind legs are drawn back. Her tail is draped over her right hind leg. Her head is upright perhaps tilted back slightly as one of the kittens, set between her forelegs, playfully climbs toward her neck. The next three kittens are being nursed by the mother cat. Two are between her fore and hind legs, the last is between the cat's tail and left foreleg. Mother cat wears a necklace which is indicated by an incised line running around her neck. On the front of the bronze base toward the right side (below the cat's left paw) is an inscription ‘Bastet, given life’, showing that the cat represents the goddess fulfilling one of her roles as protector of women and children. Dated circa 664-30 BC, Dynasty 26 or later. Said to come from Saqqara. The museum gives the dimensions as 6.1 x 8.8 x 5 cm.

About 1,000 years ago, this ‘Tables’ game board was smashed up with an axe and thrown into a rubbish pit at Gloucester Castle! 🪓 😳 Ancient evidence perhaps of a sore loser!? 😂 Ironically it is the world’s oldest surviving complete tables set! Gloucester Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows the circa 1,000 year-old Gloucester 'Tables' game set. The set consists of 24 obelisk-shaped bone strips with pointed ends, and a bone panel border, which were originally inlaid onto a wooden base which has not survived, together with thirty disc-shaped bone counters (not all shown in my photo). The bone inlays are decorated with carved interlace and ring-and-dot patterns. Each game counter is intricately carved and decorated with a human or animal figure. The tables set is displayed on a sandy surface in a museum display case at Gloucester Museum. Tables is an early version of backgammon. It is the oldest complete tables set in the world

I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia

A stunning screenprint image in a style which is part folk art, part religious icon. Dolly Parton sits on a throne-like wooden chair, surrounded by garlands of flowers and leaves. Orange butterflies (I think they are monarchs?) hover around her head. Her hair is huge and golden, and she is wearing a long, sweeping orange gown, which is turned up over her knee to show off her brown knee length high heeled boots. Two black bear cubs play around her, one on the floor and one in her lap. Dolly stares calmly at the viewer. Her right hand is raised in benediction, and in her left she holds a ripe strawberry which she is feeding to one of the bear cubs.

Very few celebrity deaths really hit me emotionally ~ but this one sure does. I've always loved her music ~ and then she turns out to be a good person. The Imagination Library program has changed lives ~ and it's only one of many ways she helped make the world a better place.

The cookbook of my childhood. It's seen some use 😜 I have older and newer editions but this is the one that I learned to cook and bake from. A couple of my favorite recipes aren't in the later versions, so I keep it for practical as well as sentimental reasons.

Cameron Park Zoo in Waco TX has a new black-footed cat kitten (Felis nigripes). It's exploring grass for the 1st time here. This species is the smallest wild cat in Africa, but with the highest hunting success (~60%). They eat 1/6th their body weight in rodents & birds every night.

There's a strange feeling watching a movie or reading a book for the 2nd time, a decade or more after the first time, and interpreting the story differently now, and realizing that the movie or book hasn't changed, but you did. Probably have a word for it in German.

Got a couple booster vaccines on Wednesday for shots from my childhood that may have lost their efficacy. Yup, I reacted to them ~ I always do. Finally beginning to feel less inert after 36 hours. But so much better than getting measles or the other ickiness they protect against.

I don't believe in magic, but the Crock-Pot is the closest thing we have to it. You throw in meat, veggies, herbs, and some type of liquid, turn it on, and when you come back eight or more hours later, beautiful things happen.

Painsomnia is a thing. Delayed sleep phase disorder exists. Together, they make life frustrating. Tried to fall asleep for 4 hours. Now it's 3 a.m. and I'm still wide awake and achy. Think I may turn the light on and read for a bit. Won't help with sleep but might help me relax.

Personally I just really love reading. But I also adore libraries so go to your library this new year. They have all the books, you can request books and they nearly all have a online service for e books these days. #Libraries2026
