A gold sword pommel from the Griffin Warrior’s grave at Pylos. This is called “gold embroidery”, made by fitting small (1 cm) L shaped pieces of gold over a form, polishing, then etching w/a design (zoom in). Very high status, amazing craftsmanship.❤️

TOMORROW!!
At the Getty Villa!
I’ve been reading about the excavations at Pylos since the 60s. I ordered the exhibit catalogue in January: we were taught to research, to learn about what we’re fortunate to actually see.
Absolute excitement and joy, especially during these times.

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.

We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

There's been a helicopter circling over my neighborhood for the past TWO HOURS.
According to Nextdoor, there was an armed robbery in Beverly Hills and the suspects are hiding HERE. Jesus.

In other news, anecdotal reports of beautiful Latina women being grabbed from streets. Phones left behind.

I've been reading about the excavations at Pylos since I was in high school!

Just finished watching the lecture by the archaeologists who excavated the tomb, soon on the Getty's YouTube channel.

Fabulous!

Have tickets to the exhibit: finding my joy in L.A. today.

Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.

📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.
