I didn’t know this would be a week of thinking about legacy, about what we hand off to others, how community carries the things we love beyond us, but it was the better part of a week with @megueyb.bsky.social so of course it was.

Eating a ready meal curry and ...
there's something hard, a bone? no, a big hunk of tooth.
Some older folk will get that feeling, losing a corner or a crown or something. So I checked in the bathroom for the culprit. Fortunately, this time it wasn't one of mine

Extraordinary textures in ancient megalithic site 👌🏼
Gavrinis is the most amazing megalithic site I have been privileged to visit. Taking a boat to reach, you encounter a remarkable concentration of #Neolithic rock art at a single megalithic monument. A deeply powerful & inspiring place.

Okay. Two books published today.
Each is designed to be strange. They’re books, and not books. They know who you are, and where they came from. And they’re not going back quietly.
