Dictionary of the Oldest Written Language–It Took 90 Years to Complete, and It’s Now Free Online
It took 90 years to complete. But, in 2011, scholars at the University of Chicago finally published a 21-volume dictionary of Akkadian, the language used in ancient Mesopotamia.

The Mordant girls hold to the wall and listen for death
The Mordant girls hold to the wall and cease their breath
The Mordant girls cling to the wall listening for the dead
The Mordant girls! Is it any wonder they’re full of dread?

New York’s private healthcare CEOs pocket millions in salaries while our nurses on the frontlines are overworked and underpaid.
Our communities and nurses deserve better.
I'm proud to stand with @nynurses.bsky.social as they fight for fair contracts and the dignity they deserve.

The Daily Mail: a daily drag on the nation’s sanity, dignity and prosperity. Rocking back and forward in the corner shouting that Brexit was a win and improving on our relationship with the EU is a BeTRaYaL of all the special things it cannot name.
Subverting failure. How very dare we.

Just a gif of the EU flag projected onto the London Eye as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's London's New Year's Day fireworks 😀
The UK is £90 billion a year poorer because of Brexit i.e. tax rises and spending cuts, it's absurd
One day soon the madness will end and the UK will #RejoinEU ☺️

Rewatched Four Weddings and a Funeral as it was on BBC iPlayer. Always thought I preferred Notting Hill (while loathing Love Actually), but wow, such brilliant choreography of multiple storylines. RIP Charlotte Coleman - a stand-out star in a fabulous cast.

Last Christmas Ich gave thee myne hearte
The verye next daye ther came a wolf
Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost -
And the wolf stole myne hearte, fled
To a tower out of tyme biyonde all the stars.
Seek now myne hearte,
Return it within a yeare and a daye:
Thys ys thy queste
Fayle not
