Because This Is A Great, Approachable Listing Of What Is Wrong With Almost All Of The Books On "minoan"

When you are going through some shit, sometimes flowers help.

This is how new hobbies get started.

Read a post think, "I think I've got everything but the respirator for this."

I'm not entirely happy with it yet; might take another hour or so with extra fine sandpaper. But I made myself a historical bone needle and have two more rough ones roughed out and drilled. Threaded it with linen thread just to do a couple stitches on linen and see how it works.

Ok y’all, I need you to drop links for free binder services. It’s November which means that parents won’t think it’s odd for their children to request that they not inspect packages. They’ll simply assume it’s a present for whatever holiday they observe. So please do your part by dropping links in the reblogs and trying to get this seen by those who need it

edit: k, so I mean this in nicest way possible. Liking isn’t going to help anyone. This isn’t just for me, other people need these links. If you if you can’t/don’t have the energy to find and post links to ACTIVE donations. Please at least reblog so someone who follows you can. Please and thank you <3

This recreation is a goal!

My most recent make is this ancient Minoan ensemble! It consists of a tunic (heanos) worn under a flounced wraparound skirt shaped like a double-bladed axe (labrys). Despite how heavy the linen skirt is, the entire outfit is surprisingly easy to move around in. I even waded into the river to rescue a bee!

Do they? Or do they just know their value?

It’s Bat Week, and we have new bat research to share! 🦇 A recent study from Museum Research Associate Paul Velazco has described a new bat species from northwestern Peru—along with evidence that it was known to the pre-Incan Moche people more than 1,000 years ago. How can we tell? The Moche people crafted ceramics, many of which realistically portray local animals and plants, including Histiotus mochica.

This bat species has distinctively large ears connected by a large band of tissue—which were clearly depicted on a Moche vessel—and is the only member of the genus. Bats of this genus are medium-sized insectivores adapted to dry climates and can be found from the Pacific coast of Peru to the Atlantic coast of Brazil. This new addition increases the total number of bat species identified in Peru to 192, the third highest in the world. Velazco believes there are still many more to find.

Magnificent Hagia Triada Sarcophagus Reflects Minoan Death Culture

One of the most fascinating of the many discoveries to come from the island of Crete is the Hagia Triada Sarcophagus.

We know so much about death rituals in some cultures, but very little about others. The beautifully-preserved panels of the Hagia Triada Sarcophagus give insight into 14th century BC Minoan burial practices, depicting offerings and sacrifices, as well as goddesses and griffins.

I remember adults telling me that I should be true to myself and that I could be anything that I wanted. Now, they rage about gender and act disgusted when someone wants to have outsides match their insides.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

Goals. But in a much darker shade of black
