Musk turning on Trump is not a reason to
A) Get an account on X.
B) Forgive him for all the disgusting things things he’s done.
Your enemy’s enemy is not always your friend. Definitely not in this case.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A woman (40s?) wearing a soft-looking knitted green dress kneels down in front of a small human (5?). He's vision impaired and as he's enveloped in a big hug, he exclaims: "It's the teddy dress!"
She laughs: "Yeah kiddo. Just for you." (1)

Integrity. Stand up.
When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A woman (30s?) is looking out over a spectacular view of mountains and a river valley. She's holding a very new human to her chest, nose pressed to a head of wispy baby hair, inhaling a quiet moment of peace and beauty. (1)

What a tragedy if these had been lost forever.

🧵Spotted on a Very Rainy Easter Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A young human (8?) is dancing down a quiet street. Grinning, his eyes closed, he does a twirl here. He does a hop-skip there. He stretches his arms out and does a little tap on the spot. Unfettered joy, ignoring the rain. (1)

Some gorgeous Celtic glass bracelets.
Glass bracelets and beads found in the oppidum (#Celtic settlement) at Manching. Manching was a centre of Celtic glass industry. It was specialized on the production of seamless colourful glass bracelets from ca. 260 - 40 BC. The raw glass was imported from the eastern Mediterranean...🧵 1/2
