A unique find in Europe:

A 4,000 years old necklace, made by people of the Moriš/Maros culture. It was found in a woman's grave, in one of their settlements in Serbia.

The beads are made of deer, sheep and cow bones, while the central pendant is a HUMAN rib...

love how being an author is literally just making up these unhinged fake little people and then convincing readers to obsess over them as much as you do

We don’t know what life was like for our ancestors. Not really.

What we do know is what life is like today: messy and complicated and loud, manufactured and stressful and artificial. It’s cerebral and social and a consequence of our society, even as we shape that society.

@manylittlewords 🙋‍♀️This is really interesting to see hard numbers about which channels are selling - thanks for sharing!

[Melanie Lynskey @melanielynskey]

I wanted her to look like she should have a notepad on her at all times. I wanted her to be feminine, and soft-voiced, and all the things that we’ve been told are “weak”. Because honestly, fuck that.

#Wings. Many woody plants are specialized for wind dispersal and have formed winged #fruits. The #wingnuts of the walnut family, the maples of the sapindaceae or ptelea from the citrus family. #botany #nature

Why is every woman in a historical drama - avant garde, MODERN, a woman ahead of her time? Why bother with history?

First dye-pot of the year, locally gathered heather tops. These will produce yellow on linen and cotton, the colour I love and use the most.

[The sunny side of Franz Kafka @AmschelKavka]

If I could spend Christmas writing and sleeping, dearest, that would be wonderful!

Franz Kafka, 1912.

[Lynda Carter @RealLyndaCarter]

Well-behaved women may or may not be notable.

[The sunny side of Franz Kafka @AmschelKavka]

I sit in my dressing gown in my armchair for a whole hour doing nothing.

Franz Kafka, 1912.

[Lauren Groff @legroff]

I wrote hundreds of thousands of words this year, threw out nearly all of them, and barely published anything. It’s fine! It happens often. These bleak, dry, fallow years are necessary for the good work to begin to take shape in the periphery.
