If I had this as a rug I wouldn’t have to hoover so often !
Heraclitus was inspired by an ancient Greek decorative theme known as ‘unswept floor’ (asàrotos òikos). He created this mosaic, seemingly covered with scraps of food from a banquet, for the dining room of a villa on the Aventine Hill in Rome. Read more: understandingrome.substack.com/p/the-unswep...

I don't think I'm likely to die on a hill. It's a better bet that I'll die at the bottom of the hill while whining about not wanting to go up it.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure of a big surprise. The woods are gone. There’s a road called ‘The Woods’ there instead, containing a load of fucking ghastly overpriced executive houses with identical shiny light grey interiors and pointless giant clocks in their living rooms.

More folk horror guys!
Happy Halloween! The rather scary looking Roos Carr figures with their quartzite eyes. Dating to the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age, the figures are part of the collections at the Hull and East Riding Museum of Archaeology. 📸 My own. #Halloween #Prehistory #Yorkshire

I’ve always thought this guy had folk horror vibes
The Deskford Carnyx - the head of an Iron Age war trumpet shaped to represent a wild boar. The carnyx was found in 1816 at Deskford in Banffshire when digging for peat. Now part of the collections at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday

In #JapaneseFolklore there's a belief that objects that are very old are able to gain a spirit and transform into a type of #yokai known as tsukumogami. In the case of musical instruments this can occur if they're stored away for long periods of time and are no longer played.

Had a dream that I’d twice in short succession come across the #botober #botober2025 prompt “cucumteragus” as a real word - once in an old newspaper in a library, and once on a signpost!
