A 2100-year-old statue of Hygieia, the Greek Goddess of health was found stuck between two rocks in Turkey.

I don’t have tiktok so I had to find this like a mole digging for worms and nothing could have prepared me for the actual video itself

You lost your keys again?

A pretty gnarly thing is they got the jaw of St. Anthony of Padua as a relic, and the reliquary goes hard af.

So I had this idea and I drew it as fast as I could

Can you believe that this majestic tiled hallway is the old entrance foyer of Cardiff's first purpose-built public library?

It was opened in 1882 to much fanfare and even a public holiday, but by 1893 the city's immense population growth (it increased by over 50% in just 10 years) meant that the library was already too small for purpose. A large extension with a new frontage and entrance was built and opened in 1896. Still, I think we should probably have a revolution and bring back this level of decadence to public buildings.

the deep blue of night blooming out of the shadows and an orange slice of window, gravel underfoot, roving headlights of passing cars and the stillness leaves its own stark shadow on the pane.
