For #WorldCrocDay + #ManuscriptMonday :
Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) having its teeth cleaned by the "Crocodile Bird" (Trochilus), from a 1615 copy of the Kitāb al-Ḥayawān (The Book of Animals) by al-Jāḥiẓ (c. 776–868/869 CE). Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan, MS D140inf.
I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

AM radio is like literal magic. There is music all around us that we can't hear, and to hear it you just have to tap a crystal (diode) to the earth and listen to it with another magic rock (magnet) and a tin can. You dont even need electricity to make it work because this music around us is literally all the power you need. Oh and at night when the sun has set, the light of the day gets replaced by MORE music because the signals can travel further at night. This is magic. If you even care.
