Okay seeing the Elon salute makes me want to avoid X / twitter for good now - I'd like to rebuild and find new people on blue-sky- I post archaeology, museums and I'm learning Python and SQL so would love to meet some baby coders

Museu de l'Art Prohibit in Barcelona was such an interesting museum. Contained a wide range of art that caused offense and issues

BOAR!!
Little guy and big little guy from my last trip to the Art Institute

I think personally we should have a museum for little guys
Every museum should have a Little Guys Tour, and at the end of the tour you can buy reproductions of all the little guys

I now really want a duck shaped perfume bottle

inspired by the Romans
Fascinating world of ancient #glass!
#Roman dove-shaped vessels were used as perfume bottles. The liquid was sealed inside and the tip of the tail or the beak had to be broken to remove the perfume. This particular example, discovered in a first-century burial at...🧵 1/2

This is the item description for a Neolithic Jadeite axehead by the way

I'm literally begging for an online archaeology dictionary to be made. I google a term used and I'll never find a definition just thousands of articles using the phrase in the same way
