Curious to see this photo described... especially his shirt. 🤭

Very similar to the Incredible Hulk's

Sunday I pulled two books from my shelves that I've been meaning to read forever and set them bedside so they'd be "up next." Now somehow there are six books on the pile. They either breed when I'm not looking, or I am confused by the meaning of "up next" and how many eyes I have. @bookstodon

On the packaging.Hidden in the terms and conditions. Who knew it’d be so foretelling, so prescient? “Some assembly required.” Like a chant. Like a mantra. Like the Rosary. A testament to how you’d spend your time and your days. A lifetime with tiny pieces. Trying to fit them in. Trying to figure out where they go...

The Collapse of Complex Societies

Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both the present and future.

Why is this a choice between 2 things? Why can't we have both?

Why can't I make my own decisions? Live with those that we choose? And do the work we choose?

I think the answer is greed

Executed with his own sword? 1336 Arnold III of Uissigheim died. His gravestone in the church of St. Laurentius in Uissigheim shows that he was beheaded; an inscription, now lost, is said to have stated that this was done with his own sword. @medievodons @histodons

This is great recommendation but brings up a side topic. Does anyone know of a discussion on formats and prices? Maybe we need a flowchart for finding books, especially brand new ones. It can be time consuming and prices change with time.

Waits at library are often too long. Used books can be shared/sold back. Simple to buy digital but more expensive/no sharing. Listening can be cheaper. Hardcover prices are shockingly high.

I'm definitely late to the party on this - and I haven't seen the TV show - but I have just sat and devoured this in pretty much one session after it being recommended by a student. "Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus really is incredible. Amazing characters and such clever, clever writing about the roles and experiences of women in society. I loved every moment and I'm sad it's over. @bookstodon

The dog is still in the show and still narrates his story. The neighbor is not elderly or abused. The biggest change is that each show has glimpses of their courtship, the daughter, and the cooking show. I wonder if it is too confusing to those who didn't read the more chronological order

This painting by Peter Cramer is rich in detail, dear - peppercakes, street selling activities in an early modern European urban setting, broadsheets glued to a wall, etc.

But what on earth is the highlighted child transporting on its shoulders? A wooden box full of what? Your help is appreciated! @histodons

I've heard the Barbie movie can now be streamed, but Oppenheimer is still on deck. While waiting, if you're in the mood to supplement your knowledge of America's early atomic endeavor, "Now It Can Be Told–The Story of The Manhattan Project" might be just what you need. This vintage book is available here now.

FYI: I saw streaming available but the price is $25. IMAX is going to re-release for a week. Cheaper plus extras at the end.

This reminds me of a common horror story plot. Like the girl in the well that people feel sorry for her and let her out, not knowing she was was put there for being evil.

Styling! Don't like the skirt? Just take it off.

So hard to understand how impractical those squarish skirts were. Well, maybe good for storage? Hiding things? Documents? Small pets?
