An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell circa 500,000-300,000 years ago.

The maker appears to have deliberately flaked around the shell to preserve and place it in a central position. As a result this handaxe has been described as an early example of artistic thought.

From West Tofts, Norfolk.

Why I love being a librarian:

There is this autistic boy (11) who comes to my library and he is obsessed with Star Wars. He has read all our Star Wars books over and over again, so I asked him if he would want to read some SW books I have at home. He was soooo excited! I brought them with me the next week and he took them home.

Today he brought them back and was so thankful he bought me a gift card for books, wrote me a cute little card and talked happily about the books for ages 🥺

I love making kids happy with books 😭

The card says : Thanks so much for lending me the Star Wars books, they were amazing!

"Don't just throw ripped jeans away, you can repair them using these 10 cute Visible Mending techniques!!" unfortunately my friend the first point of failure for every single pair of jeans i have owned in my life has been the Crotch and Ass. Knees: fine, cuffs: fine; but 3 years in, and all that stands between the world and my astronaut-patterned taint is 0.5µm of denim worn so thin that every squat threatens to tear it to shreds like wet toilet paper. If the Tiktok craft community could figure out a way to resurrect jeans afflicted in such a way that doesn't involve adding a whole ass buttpatch like some sort of inverse assless chaps situation then that'd be great

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that we stopped bullying people for their mediocre, boring tastes, like sure, let people enjoy things, that’s nice, but at this point I can’t event read the words Taylor or Swift without getting a headache.

#it’s TOO much #maybe there was some wisdom in the ancient snobbish practices of our predecessors #maybe they need to be taken down a notch idk

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

It's insane how casually the calls to end a genocide, not just the students in Columbia University but pro Palestinian views in general, are labelled as terrorists. The audacity to still publicly support Israel's actions even after the horrific bombings these last months and then turn around to say that the ones who oppose it are violent anti semites is just baffling

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

parfois la violence c'est bien aussi.

#je ne suis pas violente par nature mais je peux faire une exception #les collégiens en uniforme et en cours 50h par semaine #“““responsabiliser””” les parents #bienvenue au XIXe siècle #et les autres réformes #je ne comprends honnêtement pas #ils sont en train de se tirer tellement de balles dans le pied #pour rien !?
