If you’re not doing anything at 8.40, you should join a chunk of Irish people as we watch the solstice online. RTÉ radio news just made a point of saying that there is no cloud cover over Newgrange today. bsky.app/profile/bike...

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

Nothing lasts forever, and that includes the Roman Empire.

The Fall of Rome-Scented Candle smells like cypress trees and red wine. Light it and watch the Roman forum melt into a puddle of wax while you quietly contemplate the impermanence of civilizations and/or candles.

Do you think individual Romans understood that their civilization was collapsing? Or did it happen so gradually that they were able to ignore the warning signs—international trade breaking down, the senate becoming a rubber stamp for the supreme leader, and political violence becoming expected during transfers of power?

It’s hard to say, because it’s impossible to imagine being in that kind of situation. In any event—hope you enjoy the candle!

In an age where belonging can’t be assumed, our #libraries can quietly but powerfully remind every learner that they matter, that they’re welcome, and that knowledge is for them. The library is uniquely positioned to bravely, radically hold that space.
