🏺 This thread is cute but also so useful to remember what Ötzi teaches us about dynamic temporal lives of prehistoric people: he died on an epic journey, carrying a huge range of kit with tools part-way through being made, and with embers and medicine in anticipation of his next fire, & his future.

I know this isn't the news right now. But I have some updated info on Covid vax availability. Several states where CVS/Walgreens weren't offering them or required Rx 1.5 wks ago now have them without Rx because of state officials' actions. But still 13 states where CVS and/or Walgreens require Rx.

Seriously, if you don't have a library card, get one. Libraries more than ever need support from people who don't want to ban books. Additionally, unlike Amazon, books are available for free in the library. 😊 It is also a place that provides much-needed services for those with limited means.

The vice president would have us believe that whatever problems we face, the solution is getting rid of “illegals.” Let me tell you something: no immigrant ever taxed me, illegally. No immigrant made it prohibitive to buy a house. No immigrant forced me to give up my health insurance.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 18/08/2025
Marriages, as we all know, are about eels. Right? Right? Well...maybe not. BUT. Eels were sometimes part of medieval dowries. In the early 14th C, for example, a woman named Matilda had as part of her dowery about 67 eels per year from a fishery on the River Loddon. 1/2 🗃️🧪
Meme. Painting of a medieval wedding ceremony. It's a very fancy one, being performed by a bishop. The groom is wearing a crown, and is likely a prince. The man standing behind him, with a crown and scepter, is almost certainly his kingly father. Next to him is his crowned queen, and then another man with a smaller crown -- maybe the groom's older brother. A knight stands behind them with his sword drawn. They're all staring at the couple.

This seems like quite a lot of pressure, tbh.

The bride also has a crown atop her blue wedding veil, & is maybe a bit nervous about joining this royal family with their crown fetish. Behind her is a priest, & some random nobles. They're kinda watching the ceremony, but also seem to be talking to each other. Probably scheming to get their share of the royal pie.

Royal eel pie, that is.

The bride and groom should flee. Right now. They don't need all this. The world awaits their adventures!

Meme text reads:
"'Til death do us part
and I get my eels"
