It's Trilobite Tuesday! Rarely exceeding 1 in (2.5 cm) in length—including its long, graceful tail spine—the small Middle Cambrian ptychopariid trilobite Norwoodia bellaspina hails from Utah’s Weeks Formation. It takes a sharp eye to spot one in the field.

No evidence to indicate misconduct or wrongdoing concerning missing items: Canadian museum.
The Royal Ontario Museum ( #ROM ) has vigorous security procedures in place, and there has been no evidence to indicate that any objects are missing as a result of misconduct or wrongdoing, the Canadian museum told the Global Times on Sunday in response to a report that 2,234 items in its collection, including 136 oracle bones from China, are unaccounted for

Why Aren’t Classical Statues Very Well-Endowed?
Cultural values have changed a lot since ancient Greece.
If you spend enough time with classical statuary, you may begin to ask yourself some questions that seem more appropriate to middle school health class than an art history discussion. Namely: Is it just me, or are all these dudes kind of … small?

Not certain about Ancient Greece but Rome had seasonal fertility festivals where they paraded enormous (wooden) phalluses through the streets so I think the context mattered a lot when depicting size.
Also, kind of an aside since it's a different culture, but there is a similar festival in Japan called Kanamara Matsuri which is still celebrated.

If I haven't misunderstood the meaning of "hill", a "backstuga" is not a "hill cottage". " Backe" in swedish has several meanings, and one is "slope" - and many times these houses were situated in a stony slope at the edge of a wood, where nothing could be grown - so some poor people could just as well have it.

The medieval Ingush towers, known as "Vepshi", were built by the Ingush people, an indigenous ethnic group in North Caucasus region, between the 13th and 17th Centuries AD. These towers are located in the mountainous regions of what is now Ingushetia, Russia.
The Ingush people built these structures as part of defensive and residential complexes. #medieval #Ingush #history

in reply to Fedi.Tips 🎄 • • •You can get a much, much better experience in PeerTube if you bypass Apple and Google by using PeerTube web apps instead.
The PeerTube web apps let you sign in with your account and do everything you'd do on the website, plus the benefit of using your phone's notifications system and having a full window interface.
Here is how to install web apps for PeerTube servers (or any other kind of Fediverse server):

You can install multiple servers as multiple web apps.
