Os cuento una situación habitual que he vivido hoy con mis hijas, pero que por algunos detalles me parece llamativa.
Íbamos en el bus camino al colegio, mis hijas (5 y 7) estaban jugando entre ellas.
En una parada ha subido una amiga de la pequeña, con su madre y su hermano gemelo.

Buenas, cuánta gente de aquí tiene una higuera?? Se está haciendo un estudio en la USC y piden nuestra ayuda. Las quieren de donde sea, Galicia, España y Europa. Yo le mandaré de la mía y posiblemente de algún vecino (si me dejan). Animaos vosotros también

in retrospect, it was a mistake to teach algebra and geometry but not "statistics for everyone" in high school

we are drowning in lies, partly because we never learned to swim

There would be an inordinate amount of unpleasantness and suffering avoided if 2025 folk could understand the difference between:

I like this!

and

Everyone HAS to love this!

One of my favourite things about torcs, is that the word comes from the Latin word torquere (tor-kwe-ray) meaning twist, bend or torture.

This is also where we get the word 'queer'.

So even in its origin, queer meant twisted and wrong, as well as something shiny and fabulous.

The Sedgeford and Newark torcs - one from Norfolk, one from Nottinghamshire.

I still can't believe that anyone looked at these and said they were from the same mould...!! They're so clearly not.

#Archaeology 🏺

The Sedgeford torc - one terminal found in 2004 after the rest of the torc had been found in 1965. The decoration on this torc is simpler than that of the Newark torc and sits more on the surface.

The Newark torc. The deco on this torc flows much more organically and the detail is more elegant.
