This Roman bracelet with punched ring-and-dot decoration is complete making it a remarkable survival. The majority of Roman bracelets recorded with the PAS are fragmentary. #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/database/art...
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
I just have this radical idea that we should make sure everyone can afford to eat and also that we shouldn't micromanage how folks spend their meager food benefits.
This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
I maintain that simply arresting Elon musk and making a real example of him is the quickest way to global stability

West Side Books, a staple of Denver’s Highland neighborhood for nearly 30 years, is downsizing but staying put.
At the same time, the Denver Book Society in Uptown just opened its doors as indie bookstores are making a comeback across the U.S.
🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime
A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Letting Kristi Noem give a press conference before she realizes she’s fired is a pretty hardcore start to white history month

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

🇮🇹 Disability rights activist shows struggle with Rome’s famed cobbled streets
Cobbled surfaces and high curbs make navigating the Italian capital a challenge for disabled residents, and while the Milan-Cortina Games is more accessible for wheelchair users, Rome has not received the same funding.
stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.
this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

well this is cool!
it's Keep Your Cool Wednesday. It's where you keep your cool midweek instead of losing your fucking shit and crashing the fuck out.
the one who loved horses, the one who was a great goalkeeper, the one who kept a diary every day, the one who held her sister's hand when they walked to school, the one who read Harry Potter in English, the one who collected old coins, the one who drew rainbows for her grandmother ...
Sure wish our current governor could learn more about Ralph Carr and embody his legacy of standing up to federal overreach.

My photo shows part of a limestone wall panel carved in bas relief from the Fifth Dynasty mortuary temple of king Userkaf at Saqqara, Old Kingdom, 2465-2458 BC. It shows a Hoopoe, a crested bird with black and white wing pattern, and an ibis, with long curved beak, amongst papyrus plants in the marshes of the river Nile. My photo was taken in 2022 at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Lovely naturalistic relief of a Hoopoe and Ibis, carved by an Egyptian artisan some 4,500 years ago!
