Saw this stork today, sizing up an ice cream truck outside the stork sanctuary. Wonder what they were in the mood for. 😄

So in honor of #PrideMonth

I am reading an article about how every time ancient art depicts a goddess as sexually alluring, they always get labeled a "goddess of fertility". Even when there is no indication of children, pregnancy, or anything fertile.

The article argues that some goddesses were deities of sex and pleasure, without the maternal fertility aspect.

I am like 🤯 🤯 I have a whole entire archaeology degree and we never addressed this...

#ToddlerDnD

Bedtime actions for Monk class toddlers:

Akimbo Attack: hits 4 different targets at the same time. Damage 1d6 each.

Compass of Comfort: toddler spins horizontally, with head and feet striking in cardinal directions. Some of those directions are the attending parent's chin, stomach, and private parts.

Rotisserie Escape: twisting out of restraints while twirling.

Projectile V: bonus action, ranged attack. Always catches the target flat-footed and prone.

I am searching for folktales for a summer camp where kids can learn about various professions. Including movie stunts.

Does Siegfried count as a stunt man when he takes his friend's place in the duel with Brünhilde? 😆

For my collection of ominous #BadMarketing sings, from the airport:

"Your partner in psychiatry. Welcome to Budapest!"

Everyone in Brussels is all Manneken Pis this and that. But no one tells you about Ridiculously Jacked Baby Hermes 😶

I know they are moving into a new building, but seeing a huge "See you here soon!" sign on a city hospital is a bit... ominous 😅😅😅

I made a thing 😊 A medal for myself based on a Bronze Age Minoan seal. Original CMS IV 257, found in Malia. Dated LM I-II (so... roughly 3500 years old). It was red jasper so I used a red background. I think it's a crane, though the original publication just said "bird" 😅

Here's the thing, I'm not an artist or anything. But I love Minoan seal designs, and I think it is a travesty they're not more popular in souvenir terms, so I decided to get crafty 😄

Drawing of a round Minoan seal. Stylized figures of a crane in flight, another one standing and looking up at it. And two symbols that look like a ship and a sun.

Today's #MythologyMonday is celebrating #InternationalMuseumDay with talk about mythological art in museums :)

One of my favorite museums in the world is the Villa Giulia in Rome. It houses the National Etruscan Museum. It falls outside most quick tour routes, and it is a lovely, peaceful, elegant museum with a very rich collection.

See the pretty vases below, with various mythological scenes :) Recongize them?

When you find a very cool tarot deck on Kickstarter: 🥰 😊 🤩

When you find out that it was AI generated: 🤬 🤬 🤬

I appreciate KS making it mandatory to disclose AI generated works, but... I just can't with this, y'all. Seriously.

The Hungarian Ornithology Society has these collectible pins they sell for donations at various locations around Hungary. There are more than 300 species included, but the catch is, they don't tell you which pins you can find at which locations.

Today I went on a scavenger hunt and managed to find a care at the fourth try 😄 Yay!

A friend explained #adoption to her 7yo.
The kid's reaction:

"So I don't have to kiss anyone and I can still be a parent?! That's awesome!"

I am finishing up my mythology manuscript this week, and it is really hard to let this one go... I had too much fun with the stories. I found a lot of forgotten Greek and Roman myths or myth variants that surprised and delighted me. It was like a huge puzzle to play with.

I am considering a new dissertation titled

"Parental gender roles, weaponized incompetence, and differing masculinities: Bandit vs Papa Pig."

Just read an article about a theory that the myth of Asclepius and the story of Alcestis used to make one continuous epic. Which kinda make perfect sense.

The story starts with Asclepius killed by the gods for trying to bring back the dead with medicine.

And it ends with a drunk Heracles bringing back the dead by beating up the god of Death and breaking some of his ribs.

Resurrection. Best accomplished with booze and wrestling.

I managed to complete this yeat's A to Z Challenge, mostly because I scheduled the posts ahead of time.

I also decided to announce my theme for NEXT year... mostly because it will take a whole lot of reading to pull it off :)

Today's #MythologyMonday is about dancing and the arts

So this is a reminder that the Nine Muses in Greek mythology had a little brother named Krotos

He invented applause 😄
Thank him

He is also Saggitarius. 🌟
