Metal detectorist in UK finds ancient Roman penis pendant
A metal detectorist recently discovered a silver, penis-shaped pendant in Kent, England that was likely worn around the neck to protect a person from misfortune around 1,800 years ago.
Ancient Roman writers such as Marcus Terentius Varro (lived 116 B.C. to 27 B.C.) and Pliny the Elder (A.D. 23 to 79) mention how the phallus and representations of it are thought to have had the power to protect a person from evil. Many depictions of the phallus have been found throughout the Roman Empire and scholars often believe that they were created to avoid bad luck.
The pendant (also called an amulet) is about 1.2 inches (3.1 centimeters) long, with a tiny ring at the top for a string (necklace) to go through. It dates back to a time when the Romans controlled England, between A.D. 42 and 410. Read more.

Plant of the Day
Monday 9 May 2022
This graceful, spreading Rosa xanthina 'Canary Bird' (shrub rose) has been trained to cover this wall. With dainty, fern-like foliage this rose has grown well in this shady space and the flowers were buzzing with early pollinators on this once a year flowering cultivar.

so about that solider . . .
i always headcanoned sam stumbled upon some old prom photos of his parents when he was younger, seeing the wild hairstyles kent would fashion in his younger days. with kent being abroad at that time, sam would do anything he could to feel close to his absent father- taking up the guitar that kent once played, growing out his hair to sport the 70s style his dad once had, wearing his old jean jacket that jodi hid to collect dust. when kent finally came home, he saw his old self in sam and retreated, terrified of the possibiliy sam could end up like him, full of regret and anguish.
