A more than 3000-year-old Egyptian basket of coiled palm fibre with a lid. Baskets served as household containers and were frequently placed in tombs, containing grave goods such as jewelry or food offerings. The basket has been remarkably preserved because of Egypt's arid desert climate.🧵1/2

Wicked, Original Star Trek, and Sherlock Holmes are these intellectual properties that are like, Zeno's paradox of gayness. they all move slowly but inexorably towards an explicitly gay adaption but despite each new adaption being twice as gay as the last they never actually reach the target

"Reaper Man" has been the most abstract Discworld book so far. Also the most relevant to current times, and the one which has made me laugh out loud the most.
Really looking forward to Witches Abroad, because witches are the best. I hope there's lots of Headology in it #Discworld

Magenta is the most cosmic color because there is no wavelength of light that corresponds to that particular color. Our brains just sort of fill in the gaps to make sense of it.
Which is why, H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space" is pink/magenta.
