I think this makes a lot of sense esp given your background. I replied separately that it is context specific and I think in a very practical sense this is the right answer

Context specific. If traveling, where I currently live. If relevant in convo then where I grew up as it is far from where I live. But been here longest, ~25 yrs, so that is generally the answer. It also feels like home (I rarely went back to where I grew up which may be factor in all this?).

This timeline is repulsive (I read some of it…oof)

This timeline is wild.

Make sure you watch this clip. What a sight.

The picture shows a fibula (a brooch) in the shape of an owl, decorated with enamel in different colours: The large are orange with blsck pupils, the wings are green with red circles.

A charming #Roman enamelled fibula (a pin for fastening garments) in the form of an #owl.

Found in the civilian settlement of the Saalburg fort.

Scientists just discovered 5.6 million bees under a New York State cemetery This whopping bee aggregation is one of the largest and oldest ever recorded, according to a new study

A New York State cemetery may be home to nearly 5.6 million ground-nesting bees. The colony is one of the largest ever recorded and likely one of the oldest.

If average height of an American woman is 5’3.5” then how are clothing companies justifying 5’4” for petite sizes???!!! So annoying.

5’2” shouldn’t even be the start of petite frankly.

It also means that 5’2” isn’t all that short, despite what many women think.

Sigh

How the way you count reveals more than you think Many people around the world learn to count on their fingers, but we don't all do it in the same way. Could there be a better method?

super interesting! I love that are all these different ways to count!

I grew up in US but I start with my thumb, which apparently is a UK/Europe thing. (even though if I were to show 1, I'd show the index finger?)

what method do you use, and where did you grow up? any other weirdos like me? :)

Burger Barn is open, as is Palmer Lane's creemee window. Guess what we're doing today!

Cherry blossoms in Japan.

Whiskey mogul plans to donate Poultney college campus to a Christian group to ‘revive Western Civilization’ - VTDigger Poultney residents have shifted focus to investments in outdoor recreation, tourism and other revitalization efforts after the Green Mountain College campus redevelopment stalled.

ffs

and the quote by the professor is really something

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

omg, Palmer Lane Maple has started their creemee season! W-Sun 930-530

I've never heard the death metaphor explanation before. seems like that says more about whomever is interpreting it that way!

600-year-old grape seed used to make pinot noir wine found in toilet of medieval hospital in France The seed reveals that people in France have been cultivating the popular variety of grape since at least the 1400s, scientists say.

Researchers sequenced the genomes of 54 grape seeds dating from the Bronze Age to the medieval period. A 600-year-old grape seed from northern France is genetically identical to grapes used today to make pinot noir wine.

I find accepting the non-sleep that time of night works best. gives me an excuse to daydream and just relax. I often wake up feeling better than if I fought it. but congrats on sleeping through it this time - that's a rarity! you should celebrate (seriously, who knows when/if this'll happen again!)

Four portraits of Minnesota residents inside and outside their homes. From left to right: A woman in a hijab, an older woman wearing a red whistle, an elderly couple in winter coats standing in the snow, and a woman wearing a buttoned-up cardigan and dark blue jeans.

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis.

My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives?

So I picked up my camera 👇

I can’t decide on the appropriate emoy

Modern media, doctors, even companies, love to scold us about the necessity of movement, but absolutely none of them are actually interested in addressing the structural problems and lack of progressive work policies that would enable anyone to actually live this kind of life.

'Pristine Alaskan landscape auctioned off for oil drilling'. Well, that might be true if anyone was buying. A federal deadline came and went earlier this month for oil companies to bid on around 1 million acres of drilling territory off Alaska’s Cook Inlet. No bids.
