A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻 ❤️ A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord and perhaps worn as a protective amulet. Discovered in a peat bog near Slupsk in Poland. 📷 National Museum in Szczecin. #Archaeology

Callanish sunrise #StandingStoneSunday

OH filmed the night sky above our suburban garden last night — & captured something absolutely full of wonder & awe to me. It gives me delight.

When humans look at something we find beautiful it causes dopamine release in our brains & looking at plants shifts our brain activity away from fight or flight & into rest & digest mode. A field of phacelia, Norfolk:

Something beautiful to start the week! A rare rock crystal tool made by Neanderthals between 200,000 - 40,000 years ago. From a Mousterian level at Merveilles rockshelter, Sergeac, Dordogne, France. 6 x 3.3 x 1.5 cm. Musée d’Archéologie Nationale, Saint-Germain-en-Laye 📷 by me #Archaeology 🏺

Music bringing people together for millennia! 🪈 🎶 About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, this flute was made from a swan’s wing bone. It is one of the World’s oldest known musical instruments! Geißenklösterle cave, Swabian Jura, Germany. Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart 📷 me #Archaeology

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

"This is not a tariff war. This is a guy who says we don't have a right to exist. People around the world see us as the front line. This is our moment. I wish it wasn't but it is and we are meeting that moment." - @charlieangus104.bsky.social on radio just now with the cold hard truth. #CanadaSky

End your day with some Cornish calm. Soothe your head with the sound of the waves, and imagine the salt air caressing your face. Pause and breathe. Your best today was good enough. Your emotions were valid. Know there is always hope, and there is always good in this world. Rest well, my friends. 😊

Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.

Lenny and Sulwe front and centre, shadowed by their ever-present mums and nannies! What's extra special about this scene is that both babies are only with us today thanks to the rescue of their orphaned mothers years ago! #Futuregenerations
