Happy birthday Rome! According to Roman tradition, Romulus founded the city #OnThisDay in 753 BC.

Cross made from blackthorn spikes with "blood" splattered over the centre.

An elm tree on the roadside between Bidford-on-Avon and Wixford was known as the St George’s Elm as he was believed to be buried under it. The elm had grown from a stake driven through the saint’s body. If the bark was cut, his blood would seep from the fissure.

A mounted St George thrusts his lance into the mouth of a green dragon in a landscape of parched fields as a medieval lady looks on.

St George is sometimes associated with the colour green, vegetation and fertility. This links to the dragon, as these beasts were blamed for making land barren by obstructing or poisoning water sources. #MythologyMonday #folklore #mythology #history

Folklore tells that the bluebell’s scent induces a deep, dreamless sleep. Its former botanical name, Endymion non-scriptus, recalls the tale of Endymion, the youth beloved of the moon goddess Selene, whom she lulled into an eternal slumber to preserve his youth. #FolkloreSunday

Parrots are not just mimicking words—they use proper names like humans to identify individuals Like many animals, parrots make sounds that suggest they are talking with each other, maybe even calling out to a specific parrot.

Parrots demonstrate the ability to use specific names to identify individuals, suggesting complex vocal and cognitive skills similar to aspects of human naming behavior. doi.org/hbxj7n

The big book of nursery rhymes Art - Charles Robinson, ca 1903

Bat, bat,
Come under my hat,
And I'll give you a slice of bacon;

And when I bake,
I'll give you some cake,
If I am not mistaken

Sketch of the Jabberwocky - a large dragon type creature in a forest in front of a small girl brandishing a sword.

Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky may be based on the County Durham legend of the Sockburn Worm - a poisonous dragon who lived on a peninsula in the River Tees who was beheaded by a local noble. Carroll's father was the rector of the nearby village of Croft. #WyrdWednesday #folklore #literature #weird

There is no comparison, as you say.
Dr. Fauci proved his qualifications & isn't a 'yes-man'.
Out of pure spite by djt, (b/c that's how he operates) Fauci was replaced by a boot-licker who rides on the coat-tails of a famous name & snorts coke off a toilet seat.
