I won’t post often. I mainly repost animal, science, archaeology and anthropology posts.
The world is a dark place right now.
Bringing a little light into it might help someone 💜

456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history.

None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦

Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.

The tomb of Sir Edmund Goldyng and his wife Elizabeth Fleming (I bet it was his idea), in the grounds of St. Peter's Church, Drogheda.

This effigy dates from the 16th century. It is known as a ‘cadaver tomb’ and depicts the decomposing bodies in their burial shrouds.

A tomb effigy set upright against a wall in Drogheda, County Louth. It depicts two decomposing corpses in their burial shrouds. Pretty grisly really.

A pregnant woman was shocked to realize her sonogram resembled her dog's face. Inês Egner went in for her 20-week anatomy scan and left with a photo that looked exactly like her dog, Goulash. She said, "In truth, we do like to jokingly refer to the dog as our son." 14/10 (TT: inesverse)

a black and white sonogram of a human baby at 20 weeks. it looks oddly like a dog with two black eyes, a snoot, and a little grin.

a close up of a tan dog with a black snoot and golden brown eyes. he's so close we can see the whiskers on his lip and the grooves in his nose. he looks above the camera with a slightly bewildered expression. the resemblance to the sonogram truly is uncanny.

#ReliefWednesday!
A Roman marble relief of a warship. Found in the necropolis of Praeneste (Latium), late 1st century BC.
The relief presumably belonged to the tomb of a Roman veteran who had served on Octavian’s side at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.

Kirkina Mucko was an Inuk girl who suffered the amputation of her legs as a toddler.
During the Spanish Flu epidemic, her husband and most of her children died.
But she took that trauma and turned it into helping others as a nurse in Labrador.
This is her story.

A black-and-white vintage studio portrait of a young child standing beside an ornate wooden chair with carved spindles and a woven seat. The child wears a long dark dress with puffed sleeves, a high collar, dark stockings, and buttoned shoes. Her hair is short and neatly combed, and her expression is serious. She stands on a textured rug with a plain backdrop, typical of late 19th or early 20th-century formal photography. The image has a soft, grainy texture and sepia tones.

How to train your oak seedling 🌱

Resistance workouts are important for all living things

You need to replicate the wind that indoor trees will face when in the wild later, or they will not survive

There is only one way to this

On Oct. 29, 1924, Doukhobor leader Peter Verigin was on a passenger train near Farron, British Columbia.

The assassination remains unsolved to this day.

He has thinning gray hair parted on the side, thick bushy eyebrows, and a full white beard and mustache. He wears a dark three-piece suit with a white collared shirt, a dark tie secured by a pin, and a matching vest. A pocket comb and small grooming tool are tucked visibly into his left suit jacket pocket. The image has a vintage early 20th-century style with soft lighting, high contrast, and slight graininess.
