A grave of a Roman physician in Bingen dating to the 2nd c. AD contained a remarkable set of medical instruments, including cupping cups with a stand in the shape of a grapevine.
These cups were used for therapeutic suction or bloodletting, a practice with deep roots in Greco-Roman . 🧵1/ 2

The old Bexhill West station is worth a visit. It was opened in 1902 by the South East & Chatham Railway. As part of the infamous Beeching cuts it closed in 1964. It’s now home to a cafe and an antiques shop but the interior is barely changed.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Being murdered doesn’t change who a person was. They’re still a hate spewing, conspiracy spouting idiot. Just a dead one.

I tell people that science is the miracle they’ve been praying for. He’s never going to reach down out of the clouds and do it for us. He blessed us with the ability to discover, to learn, and to seek out answers, and rejecting science is rejecting the One Who made us intelligent.

Typical. America’s leader announces everyone in Ireland is dead & I live on my own. I didn’t get to see the rapture! Why am I being cancelled & why are there all these dead birds in my flat? Why is it middle aged White men in Dublin who must suffer most? Seriously what’s with the dead birds?

That feeling of desperately wanting your elected government to loudly call out racism & far right violent extremists...
And nothing.
Labour so afraid to lose power, it has forgotten both how to use it & that with power comes responsibility.
