Uuuh, so this is bugging me. I'm reading for review the German translation of "Love, War and Diplomacy" @digkabri.bsky.social and I think there's some sort of math mishap, because text seems to imply in today's money, $1 is about 1,2€? And I am pretty sure it's the other way round? $660 = ca. 575€ 🤷‍♀️

Love me some beautiful old books with a juicy history.

One thing that is definitely part of the parent experience is suddenly realising that you own an astonishing number of horses* on wheels. *also zebras, unicorns and assorted other critters
Some toys for a small child on a wooden floor, including a toddler-sized wheeled wooden riding horse, a tiny pink-and-white wooden unicorn, also on wheels, a wheeled wooden dinosaur, two wooden zebras on wheels - one a little smaller than the other - connected by a string to be drawn behind the child, and a duplo(TM) set called "animal train" containing various zoo and farm animals including an orange horse, on colourful little play train cars.

The world us full of horrors, but today, my husband and I built our kid her first-ever snowman and the neighbours decorated it while we were out grocery shopping.
A toddler, wearing pink snow trousers, a deep blue jacket, and a knitted pink beanie with multicoloured stripes, stands in front of a snowman a little taller than her. She is holding hands with a person in black whose head an shoulders are out of the frame of the picture. They are in a garden with a snowy hedge. Under the hedge are two white plastic chairs, turned over. The snow on the lawn shows tracks of green, from snowman construction.The same snowman from before, now alone, and decorated. It has twigs as arms, buttons, eyes and nose made out of small rocks, as well as two long leaves for ears, making it look rather like a snow bunny.

Here's an unperfect, not staged, blurry Christmas photo of my family. It's fine. It captures a cute memory. It's a thousandfold better than AI.
A 15-month-old baby in a cute outfit (red royal Stewart tartan dress with a little teddy fur waistcoat) playing with a colourful plastic house and making eye contact with a lady in a grey sweater, black skirt and black tights who is sitting on a couch next to her. The couch is orange-brown, the baby is kneeling on a mat in white, orange, and purple. There is a small, wooden table next to them, with a large white teddy bear's feet sticking out from under it. There is an as yet wrapped Christmas present still lying on the couch. The whole image us slightly overexposed and a bit blurry. It's all a bit messy. But cute.

Meanwhile, in Glasgow:
A former church turned university lecture hall in Glasgow on a sunny winter day. In front of the building is a street lamp, here also used as a flagpole. The flag, blowing in the wind at half-mast is a combination of the Scottish blue and white saltire and the red, black, and green Palestinian flag.Zoom in on the former image, focused on the flag.

Oh, look, it's the Male Loneliness Epidemic (TM):
Some dude named "PDX Conservative":
"My three daughters all voted Harris in Oregon, a state that gave all its Electoral College votes to Harris. Two of them have now stopped speaking to me (and one is boycotting Thanksgiving) because I voted Trump. I did not tell them how to vote, nor ever presume to argue or convince them that they are misled by propaganda. I let them vote how they wish. It sucks that I must now suffer their childish and frankly rude behaviour, merely because they believe my one vote harmed them or their rights in some way. Liberalism really is a mental disorder.

With alt text
Can we stop acting like joy has an age limit? If buying a stuffed animal, rewatching cartoons, using a colouring book, collecting cute stationery, or sleeping with a fuzzy blanket brings you peace in this chaotic world, that's valid. The world is heavy. Bills are real. Burnout is constant. If something soft or silly makes it even a little bit lighter, let it. Being an adult doesn't mean you have to let go of the things that once made you feel safe or happy. We don't need less joy. We need more of it. Louder. Brighter. Unapologetic. Smile at the small things. Buy the plushie. Get the happy meal. Hug the pillow. Pick the pen with the glitter ink. You're not too grown. You're just tired. And you deserve softness too.

So this happened #Syria #archaeology 🏺
Logo of the Syrian Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums, with the cuneiform alphabet from UgaritThe Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums warmly welcomes and opens its doors to archaeological expeditions currently working in Syria. We take this opportunity to emphasise the importance of uniting all efforts to protect and preserve Syrian heritage, which represents the shared identity of all Syrians, regardless of background.
Syrian heritage has faced numerous acts of vandalism, destruction, encroachment, theft of archaeological artifacts, and the degradation of archaeological layers at various sites.
This is a crucial and sensitive time for the restoration of Syrian cultural heritage, necessitating that all Syrians, along with the local and international community, unite towards a common goal: to safeguard this heritage and develop a future vision that includes everyone in restoring the brilliance and vitality of Syrian heritage.
The Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums once again invites all who can lend a helping hand to reactivate archaeological work at sites, contributing to the preservation and conservation of heritage that belongs to all humanity, ensuring it is passed down to future generations as a symbol of belonging and pride.
