Exciting find of a Roman bed burial - extending the funerary use of beds in England back in time by at least three centuries. Different to the 7th cent ones (with a male, for a start). But wooden construction raises questions about what we're missing theguardian.com/science/2024/f…

We spoke to @Dazed about paganism, re-enchantment, mysticism, and antidotes to capitalist realism. dazeddigital.com/life-culture/a…


"More than a hundred of the puzzling objects — hollow, 12-sided geometric shells of cast metal about the size of baseballs, with large holes in each face and studs at each corner — have been discovered in Northern Europe over the past 200 years." buff.ly/3HxMMXl


"Gypsum burials have been found [...] in Europe and North Africa but were particularly notable in Britain, with at least 45 recorded in the York area since the late 19th Century." buff.ly/42IzK0g

Humans have been scratching names into monuments for many centuries and future historians may appreciate this, but please don't do it. Still... "only after what regrettably happened did I learn of the antiquity of the monument”? The colosseum? What? WHAT? theguardian.com/world/2023/jul…

It's #MidsummersEve and almost time to rattle those bones again! 💀 🌳 ✨

Each year at midnight on Midsummer’s Eve, skeletons are said to rise from the roots of an old oak tree near Broadwater Green in Worthing, Sussex. They dance to the rattling of their own bones around the tree until sunrise, before sinking back into the soil 💀🌳 #SuperstitionSat

My regular reminder that to have the ‘mubble fubbles’ (16th century) is to experience a bout of melancholy such as the Sunday evening blues, combined with a vague sense of impending doom.
