Somewhere in a Roman brickyard, around 1800 years ago, a fresh tile was drying ahead of firing - until a dog trotted straight across it.
Centuries later, the tile has made it into a museum: not because of an emperor, but thanks to one dog who accidentally walked his way into history.🧵1/2

My 14yo daughter completed a project for school & constructed a catio (for our inside cats). The kids’ old cubby house frame and wood from the sandpit were repurposed and rotten wood replaced. In the meantime she got to use a drop saw, jigsaw, drill (including masonry drilling), and the staple gun.

“Playing Beatie Bow” about to exit Netflix. An awesome Ruth Park novel but a movie, which I used to have on VCR, has held up surprisingly well almost 40 years later. Hosts a very young Peter Phelps.

Made and notified others of a big decision today. Last night, rather than feeling nervous, I actually felt excited. Excited to see where this new chapter leads.

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.
