The situation in Tripoli requires urgent action by the international community to prevent further casualties, arbitrary arrests, and the escalation of violence by some groups against the migrants.

Devastated to hear of the passing of Iasos, a man that made truly joyful music. I was lucky enough to see him perform in Athens last year and it was a performance that really touched my soul in its almost silly sincerity and beautiful lack of cynicism. https://t.co/fmH5kv7q0H

I love that the Byzantine Museum in Thessaloniki uses mosaics for signage. So on brand

[Charles (Pico) Rickleton @Rickleton]

I’m in Thessaloniki now! classicists, historians and foodies any recommendations?
Happy to report I’m full of bougatsa already :-)

@ChryssoCosmas and I made a traditional Cypriot stool at a heartland of legends workshop. No nails or glue and it’s made from foraged giant fennel stalks and fixed together with twigs from a mastic tree. All made without power tools. Not to be immodest but I’m beyond proud of it!

@crewsproject @ShoniBLD @PhilipJBoyes Thank you Pippa! Wow so interesting. And yes the back is amazing.

Paphos museum day (Thread)
Straight to the archaeology museum where we were immediately greeted by these pictolite cruciform figures, some of which are pushing 6000 years old! I love love love the triple one that looks like a children’s charity logo…

[Charles (Pico) Rickleton @Rickleton]

@crewsproject @ShoniBLD @PhilipJBoyes And the first tweet should say “picrolite’ not pictolite. Apologies for my dyspraxic thumbs…

This is a lead weight inscribed with the name and position of an officer who administered a Roman market. So basically, is this is an ancient Roman lanyard???
