Such shopping does not have to be luxurious or unduly expensive — it can just be a local cheese shop or independent stationary store — but it's about considering the total experience. Video: Ganterie Boon in Antwerpen, Belgium (IG ganterie_boon)

Today in great scientific figures: the flight path of two midges, immediately preceding ❤️romance❤️

Hand-drawn figure almost certainly derived from painstaking examination of filmed midge flight. It took them 4 years to publish this. It is indistinguishable from an elaborate squiggle.

For #RomanSiteSaturday let's go to a huge pile of #trash - Monte Testaccio in #Rome. A huge artificial hill located next to the Tiber River. It was made up of millions of broken amphorae (mostly oil amphorae from southern Spain) during the first three centuries AD www.elnacional.cat/es/cultura/r...

A vast accumulation of broken amphorae pieces, stacked in a cascading formation. The scene has an earthy color palette, with shades of brown, beige, and gray. Light filters in from above, illuminating the top of the pile, while the lower sections remain in shadow.

Ik snap echt niet wat er mis (of zelfs maar stigmatiserend) is aan de feitelijk correcte quote "Alcohol schaadt de gezondheid". Dat men dit framet als een "volledige sector aan de schandpaal nagelen" komt bij mij enorm contraproductief over. En ja, ik ben ook iemand die graag eens alcohol drinkt.
