An astronaut floats alone above Earth during a spacewalk, surrounded by the blackness of space, with the blue curve of the planet visible below.
This iconic 1984 photo is often called one of the most terrifying space images ever.
During STS-41-B on Space Shuttle Challenger, astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first person to perform an untethered spacewalk.

Arguably, earliest eg of ‘revenge porn’. c1050 BCE
King Ashur-bel-kala sent versions of this statue around his kingdom, over 3,000 years ago. The only surviving example shows a completely naked woman. The inscription suggests viewers would know who she was meant to be and “laugh at her expense”.
I always find the survival of glass from antiquity to be amazing, but sometimes you come across quite extraordinary pieces.
This Romano-Germanic glass item is moulded into the form of a little fish or whale and it’s delightful.

The hate of Twilight is 90% sexism.
Yes, there is an adequate criticism of the romanticization of abuse, but the trick is that most female readers do not see it and do not normalize it. For them, it is just a love story between a schoolgirl and a vampire. Sometimes you start to See Things, but.

My photo shows a frontal view of a buff-coloured Minoan pottery jug with a dark-red, stylised octopus painted beneath the dark red pouring spout. The jug has a rounded body with very short neck with out-turned rim, the body tapers downwards to a slightly turned out flat base also painted red. On each shoulder there’s a small chunky loop handle. The octopus is stylised and looks cartoon-like with a vertical dumbbell shaped body, with two large circular eyes with central red dots staring out at the viewer. From the top of the head emerge eight suckered arms. Four arms hang symmetrically downwards on each side of the body, writhing and curling at the tip. There is a similar red octopus on each side of the jug not shown in my photo.

A very curious piece of Teotihuacan is the crazy hen, 250-350CE. Pieces of red spondylus shell are used as feathers. Its body is made of ceramic, eyes are made of green stone. It seems to be a representation of a quail. The most interesting thing is that it breaks the Teotihuacan aesthetic canons.

I can complain that the most pointless AI art is nature AI art. Not wild, but like trees, spring grass, and dogs/cats.
Like. You CAN take pictures of trees, spring grass, and dogs|cats. I know what I'm talking about, I have tons of these pictures. Go outside, bro/sis.
I mostly do reposts because it's hard to think about things that matter to me (feminism, classic art, fandoms, and queer rights) when my life in this country is under a lot of pressure. It's not a distraction.
The reposts are a distraction. I'm happy for people who don't live in a dictatorship.

NASA astronaut Christina Koch sits in an U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of the San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) after returning from space on Apr. 10, 2026.
This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.
This goat’s head rhyton (or drinking vessel) is from late C4th BC southern Italy.
I can’t be the only person looking at this thinking ‘must have one’.

April 11, 1831: The 12th century Lewis chess pieces are exhibited at the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, shortly after their rediscovery in a sand bank on the Scottish Isle of Lewis.
Scotland was a land then ruled and influenced by the Kingdom of Norway.

This tiny “snow fairy” is actually one of the most magical little birds on the planet - the long-tailed tit!

My photo shows a profile view of a small horse figurine with head to the left, displayed against a dark background. Sculpted from mammoth ivory, the surface is a mottled greyish-earthy-brown colour with a shiny patina. It was once likely pale white in colour. It measures 2.5 cm height, 4.8 cm width, and 0.7 cm depth. The head is gracefully lowered with a long and elegant curving neck, and a convex curved back. The four legs are incomplete. The top of the tail remains. The eyes, nostrils, and mouth are carved as indents. The ‘Vogelherd Horse’ was excavated in 1931, together with a number of other ivory animal figurines from the Vogelherd Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany. It is the oldest known sculpture of a horse. On display at the Museum of Ancient Cultures, at Hohentübingen Castle, Tübingen, Germany.
Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend!

Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is the world’s oldest known figure of a horse!

Hydria (Water Vessel) with Medea and Pelias Greek, made in Athens, 510-500 BCE Attributed to the Leagros Group Terracotta From Vulci, Italy The British Museum, purchased from Alexandrine He sino, through james Milingta, 1845,11093 In Greek myth, the hero Jason was offered the throne of the city of lolcus by King Pelias in return for the Golden Fleece. When the king broke his promise, the sorceress Medea took revenge through a gruesome deception. She demonstrated her powers to the daughters of Pelias by cutting up and boiling an old ram in a magic potion, from which the animal emerged youthful. Hoping to do the same for their aging father, his daughters attempted the procedure, cutting him up and putting him in a cauldron. Instead of being rejuvenated, he perished. The vase shows Medea at her cauldron, while Pelias and one of his daughters look on.

Orcas have been heard mimicking human speech. A study found that when prompted, the marine mammal could replicate the sounds.
