Once upon a midnight stormy
while I pondered weak & horny
over many a quaint and curious
volume of forgotten porn -
while I flicked it, nearly fapping
suddenly there came a flapping
as of someone gently tapping,
rapping at my chamber door...
...quoth the raven, “clever whore."
A 2,000-year-old marble head of the Greek goddess Aphrodite was unearthed in Türkiye 🇹🇷
In 2021, excavations carried out in the ancient city of Aizanoi in western Kütahya province, the heads of statues of Aphrodite, the mythological goddess of love and beauty, and Dionysus, the god of wine, were unearthed.
The excavations in the ancient city, which was included in UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2012 and located 50km from the city center, are being continued by the Kütahya Museum Directorate.
Excavation coordinator Professor Gökhan Coşkun of Dumlupınar University told Anadolu Agency (AA) that the work in Aizanoi, a site which dates back 5,000 years, was carried on without interruption with 100 workers and 27 technical personnel.
Noting that they have been sustaining their work in a creek bed in the ancient city of Aizanoi recently, Coşkun told that the statuary heads of Aphrodite and Dionysus were unearthed in this creek bed.
"These are important findings for us, as they show that the polytheistic belief culture of ancient Greece existed for a long time without losing its importance in the Roman era," he said. "The findings suggest that there may have been a sculpture workshop in the region."
Home to one of the most well-preserved temples in Türkiye, dedicated to the Greek god Zeus, the city of Aizanoi is easily comparable to Ephesus in its grandeur and importance. Initially inhabited by the Phrygians, the area was converted into a city in 1st Century BC, by the Romans and includes unique spots such as a temple; four roman bridges, two of which are still in use today; the world’s first known indoor marketplace, with inscriptions of the prices of goods sold still visible on the walls; theaters; roman baths and an ancient sacred cave.

they build our tech to break, charger ports fail, easily replaceable parts are glued into assembly casings so entire devices need replacing. it's all by greedy design, stop lining their coffers with your hard earned money, make due with what you have, get good with outdated tech.
they're incapable of thinking for themselves, and desperately threatened by basic human kindness. when they call me "woke" i hear it as a compliment. we possess something they do not, it's called empathy, and it's the most incredible commodity a human being can have.
yes, my car blew up while driving. seems the cold cracked my engine blocks and antifreeze had seeped into it and i was so lucky it started smoking before it blew it gave me time to pull over and get out.
so the moral of the story is don't move to Calgary 😋
in '94 i moved to Calgary, where the winters are SO cold everyone plugs their car engine blocks in. so i buy a little Dodge Omni and don't plug it in because i'm from Ontario; life naturally revolves around my needs.
cut to me, May '95, the Deerfoot highway, my car in flames...
Twitter is just an app right? No, it's people and we need to hold ourselves to some standards here. Even the bare minimum of not fucking people over behind their backs because we are attention needy little bitches.
don't follow back everyone who follows you, it isn't wise for your account!
"follow for a follow" may make your numbers grow, but it shrinks your reach.
curate your feed, stop letting bots and ppl who don't retweet others' make a mess of your account.
