#SundayStonework
Stairway leading to 11th C monastery guesthouse of Venosa's ancient SS Trinità is fitted w selection of #Roman, #Lombard, #Norman stonework.

Evolved from 5/6th C Paleo-Christian basilica to unfinished Benedictine monastic church: it sits on remains of Roman Venusium, Basilicata. 🏺

A miscellany of columns and capitals support a row of arches along the side/top of a stairwell in part of an ancient Benedictine monastic church. All the aspects of the arches and the base they sit on are different, and represent various types and periods of spolia, including inscriptions and figures of animals and people.

Today’s cat is Watson, who has grown into a sleek gray gentlemen #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky

A soft gray cat with a long nose and one white whisker sits on a black granite counter and tilts his head as he regards the person taking his photograph. Nearby is a vertical file stuffed with papers and miscellany. There is a large black coffee mug filled with markers. In the background is a wooden bookcase crammed with books.

🦧 The naturalists' miscellany: .
London: Printed for Nodder co, 1789..

[Source]

Illustration of a lemur perched on a bare tree branch, holding onto a smaller branch with its hands and feet. The lemur has a rounded body covered in brown fur, a pale face with large, dark eyes, and small rounded ears. The tree trunk is depicted with detailed bark texture and small green leafy sprigs emerging from it. The background is plain, focusing attention on the lemur and tree. The style is a scientific, naturalist drawing from the late 18th century, showing anatomical features clearly for identification.

'total', from Black Husk. Fei Li, a feline alien and Husk's pilot, examines her quarters on the ship.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #total #WIPSnips #catgirl

Fei’s room was a wedge-shaped box of collected, colourful miscellany. As a relatively new addition to space culture, Fei saw a great deal of worth in items that the rest of the crew turned their noses up at. Seeing the good in something wasn’t a challenge for Fei. Finding somewhere to store it was. Crates of various designs and sizes lay about the edges of the room, and each had been labelled with a simple strip of adhesive parchment and some shaky penmanship. ‘Nice clothes don’t fit,’ was on one. ‘Makes food doesn’t work,’ was another. A third just said ‘Toys??’ She’d collected a lot of items that could be useful with a bit of repair work over the past two hundred cycles. Now she wished she had the time… no, the motivation to actually do something about some of them.
Fei had decorated her living space with the same eclectic enthusiasm that she collected personal items. She had a total of five mismatched rugs covering the floor, which ruined the flat surface of the Black Husk’s deck where their edges overlapped. She’d also borrowed an idea from her home village and tied up lengths of colourful fabric around the corners of the room. Doing so looked good, maintained insulation and hid the harsh edges of the pointed angles of the room. Fei had also seen Lilith copying her, which was aggravating even as she flushed with pride. The result was a rounded, comfortable, warm and relaxing place to sleep.

Capochin, trembling and appearing manic, holding up an Inspekta plush in one hand and pointing to it with the other, asking, "Could a depressed person make THIS?!"

An angry little white dog that looks like Capochin jumps up and down and barks madly while Hector calmly holds his leash

Thaliarchus

@thaliarchus.bsky.social

The preface to Tottel's Miscellany (1557) tells readers that if they don't like the contents their taste is like a pig's and they should get good.

Which is certainly a bracing attitude to take to one's audience.

Friday mystery object #523 answer

Last week I gave you this mystery mandible to help me identify: It was found in a box of mixed shells and bony fragments, with no label, and nothing to offer a clue to its origin. This is very unusual, since these sorts of boxes of miscellany were mainly addressed years ago, but this one was well tucked away and somehow escaped being dealt with.
