Manuscripts at Cambridge University Library

If you're in Cambridge this weekend, you must visit our Endless Stories exhibition at Cambridge University Library.

The FREE exhibition showcases an extraordinary collection of manuscripts collected by seventeenth-century visionary Thomas Van Erpe (also known as Erpenius).

Unfortunately "Born as the 7th month dies" + "Harry was born on July 31" has been ingrained into my brain by fandom, so it doesn't take but a sec to know which is the 6th month.

A Poem Written in Handwriting in Ottoman Turkish on a Notebook

■ A Love Poem Written on a Notebook #poem #poetry #lovequotes

Shedding tears, it bids farewell to the field of existence,
The sun, the moon, the stars, and all creation."

(Hâmid)

And thus Ich wake yn the daweninge
And Ich steppe out syde

I like that we all heard the way Toto inexpertly mangled the word “Serengeti” to fit the meter but the rest of the song goes so hard that we pretend it never happened.

Mineral Moon 🌙

Subtle colors in the Moon’s surface are due to concentrations of different minerals in the lunar regolith. Reddish brown areas are higher in iron, blue areas are higher in titanium. The colors can be brought out in photos. 🐡🔭

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?

Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

In the beginning was the word:
„The #cuttlefish has two legs, with which it moves food to its mouth.“
Then came the illustrator:
