one of the houses on the end of my street is home to the members of a local irish folk band so some mornings i’ll be walking out to my bus stop to a rollicking accordion and mandolin like i’m finally setting out to seek my fortune on the high seas or some days i’ll come home to a weary aching lament that is so sweet and so yearning that i’ll miss the drowned lover i never had
I’ve literally never been more jealous
the mums who go to pride marches to offer free mum hugs are the only true allies
A BOTTLE containing a mystery liquid dating back to the time of
Jesus Christ has been hailed as a “unique” discovery after being
unearthed in Russia.
The 2,000-year-old artefact was uncovered on the site of the Phanagoria city, which was founded in the 6th century BC.
The ancient city was the largest Greek settlement on the Taman peninsula in the present-day Krasnodar Krai region of Russia.
The extraordinary object was discovered in the grave of a warrior in the Eastern Necropolis of the city.
It is filled with a mystery liquid which has not been identified.
Vladimir Kuznetsov, head of the expedition, described the discovery as “unique”.
He
said: “The discovery of the large glass filled with unknown liquid in
the sarcophagus of the Phanagorian horseman warrior is unique.”
The
discovery is the first of its kind, with Mr Kuznetsov revealing that
bottles previously found have been empty or full of soil.
He said: ”There are hundreds of similar bottles that were found in Phanagoria before that did not have the liquid.
“They were either empty or filled with soil.”
The large glass bottle contains a clear liquid with dark sediment at the bottom.
The discovery is the first time the expedition team have found liquid to have survived for that length of time.
Mr Kuznetsov said: “This is the first time me or my colleagues are seeing a liquid surviving that long.”
For what it’s worth, 2018 has been a really terrible year for the world,
but it’s been a really great year for archeologists digging up and
opening things that will unleash unspeakable eldritch horrors upon
humanity.
True story: guys online are actually complaining that Captain Marvel doesn’t smile in the trailer.
Update: Brie Larson’s response:
I wonder if these guys actually realize how stupid they sound after seeing Brie’s response? Probably not. Carol has a universe to save and amnesia to deal with among so many other things. Plus her rediscovering her humanity is literally part of her story since she doesn’t remember her life on Earth. When the movie starts, she’s operating by her Kree side that is less emotional and more logical.
Also just stop telling women to smile. They’re not here to look pretty for you. No one tells dudes to smile, especially superheroes.
[Captain Marvel trying to remember life on Earth]
Some dude: Hey! You should smile more!
Captain Marvel: Oh fuck. Now I remember.
[Captain Marvel flys away and leaves Earth to rot.]
