Archaeologists have uncovered artifacts in Virginia’s Fones Cliffs, confirming the location of historic Rappahannock villages.
This discovery supports the tribe’s efforts to reclaim ancestral lands, aided by federal recognition in 2018.

🧵Spotted From a Cafe in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Two men (20s? Brothers?) are tucking into hearty breakfasts.
One says to the other: "Did I tell ya I'm thinkin' of gettin' married."
The other looks aghast: "Why?!"
"Why not?"
"Cos Aunt Belinda's gonna come!"
A long contemplative silence ensues. (1)

A tiny human is aghast at Mum's suggestion that she needs a nap.
Shaking her head vehemently, she roars: "I'm NOT sleepy!"
Mum sighs, agreeing that she is indeed not looking tired.
Tiny Human is indignant. "But I AM Mum! I'm VERY SLEEPY!" (1)
