Wow, the amazing ‘Orkney Hood’ is so well preserved it looks like it was woven yesterday rather than c. 1,600 years ago!
Found in peat in 1867, this remarkable woollen hood from Iron Age Orkney likely belonged to a child. AD250 - AD615

You’re online betting. I’m organically freaking out about the outcome of a sporting event in which I have no rooting interest as a displacement for allowing myself to feel emotions. We are not the same.

And—speaking only for myself here—I’m still happy if you borrow my books from the library in the US, even though authors don’t get a payment for it, because you are still reading it (thank you!) and you are supporting public libraries, which are such a public good and need our love. ❤️
Authors receive a payment every time you borrow a book, audiobook or ebook from libraries in 35 countries. Those countries include the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Germany to name but a few. Borrowing a book helps the author’s pocket as well as yours.

you know how in language there is connotation and denotation and denotation is the literal definition but connotation is how language is USED and its meaning can change as contexts and uses change and it can also change depending on whether you take a text out if it’s original context and
