Learned today that a "haut-boy" is actually an old name for an oboe.

Great book about the build-up to the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. Colgate professor Robert Garland analyzes all of the sources and evidence for the Athenian evacuation and provides insights into how the logistics of the operation worked. Short and informative read.

Started reading Piranesi by Susanna Clarke yesterday and already half way through. Engaging story and world.
This edition is by @foliosociety.bsky.social I think it’s my favorite design by them over the past couple of years. Very lovely.

Weighted and heated blanket. It occasionally grumbles though.

Off topic, but it's been awhile since a meme made me laugh this hard.
