'This book can go under the microscope. You’d find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion.' - Ray Bradbury The Vatican abolished the Index Librorum Prohibitorum on the 14th of June 1966, so #BookWormSat will be celebrating banned books tomorrow. Join us. 📚🐛

‘The moment of betrayal is the worst, the moment when you know beyond any doubt that you've been betrayed: that some other human being has wished you that much evil. It was like being in an elevator cut loose at the top. Falling, falling… Atwood The Handmaid’s Tale #BookWormSat 💙📚

One of the most hideous sea monsters is the Scottish nuckelavee, a fairy that resembles a skinless horse fused with a skinless rider. Ironically, the nuckelavee hates fresh water. A river or lake is the safest place from this aquatic creature when it comes on land. 🎨Scott Purdy #FolkyFriday

European folklore claimed that "cynocephaly" (dog-headed people) inhabited far-off lands. They were frequently depicted as aggressive and violent, barking and howling. However, a few cynocephaly became Christian. Most famously, St. Christopher was sometimes depicted as a cynocephalus. #FolkyFriday

Increasingly feeling like AI art is a right-wing dogwhistle, but maybe I'm mistaking laziness for intent. In any case, at this point if I see someone posting AI art I'm gonna assume they're either fascists or don't care that it is primarily used by fascists. So consider that one moving forward.

Ægir, the jötunn lord of the sea in Norse mythology, seeks to make his undersea kingdom as grand as any other king's. He sends his wife and nine daughters to sink ships so that Ægir can add the ships' treasures to his trove and make the drowned sailors vassals in his kingdom. #FolkloreThursday

someone already made this joke but whatever

Cadborosaurus is a sea serpent with a horse-like head that has been reported in many parts of Vancouver Island, BC - most famously Cadboro Bay, Victoria. People claim that various carcasses that have washed ashore are a cadborosaurus, but most turn out to be whales or sharks. #FolkloreThursday

Card 149: Wolverine vs Sabretooth Why does the fur fly when these two meet? They're hairy guys, sure, but not, like, Beast or Nightcrawler. Anyway, Jarvinen gives this a nice, clean, almost Wieringo-esque, look. #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles #Wolverine #Sabretooth #Xmen

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

According to Norse mythology, Víðarr the Silent is one of the strongest gods and has a strange weapon: an unusually thick boot. At Ragnarök, Víðarr will slay the monstrous wolf Fenris by sticking his thick boot in the wolf's mouth to break its jaw. 🎨Lorenz Frølich #LegendaryWednesday

The blue men of the Minch are blue humanoids from Scottish folklore who inhabit the Minch (the water between the Hebrides and mainland Scotland). They will shout two lines of poetry to a ship's captain. If he cannot complete the verse, the men will summon a storm to capsize his ship. #WyrdWednesday
