During an excavation in #LowerAustria, we discovered #cat bones, among other things, which #archaeozoologist #KarlKunst from the @univienna took a closer look at:
In contrast to other animal bones, they showed no traces of chopping or cutting.
So what were the cats doing? #Mouse hunters? #Pets? Or simply part of everyday life between the #MiddleAge and modern times? An exciting insight into the coexistence of #humans and #animals centuries ago

Anyone else from #Britain in early #MiddleAge noticed the " #ladette to #TERF to #tradwife " pipeline amongst your peers?

Alas, I'm seeing this happen to too many lasses I know and used to party with back in the day - thankfully not all of them but possibly as much as half (with the other going to the opposite direction and going further left) - its getting to the point my old friend circle is becoming permanently divided..

Also the same is happening with the lads, many going down the rabbit hole of centrist contrarianism (although they do still baulk at outright racism, having all come from the multicultural #rave scene)

#rpg #ttrpg #magic #wizard #history #middleage Ars Magica is an awesome TTRPG based on the premise of taking the middle age of year 1200s (in Europe), but assuming magic is a thing and most of what people at the time believed is true.

It includes the most flexible magic system in an RPG (rules to design spells, get your character to invent it or make it up on the go, etc).

The crowdfunding for the definitive edition of the system is under-way, join us !

more details 🧵

I got told by my kids today that #MiddleAge is between the ages of 38 and 45. I asked where they got this precise information from and they said it was just what they thought based on how adults behave.

I asked whether this meant 46 was #OldAge and they nodded and smiled as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.

Their dad has been 46 for all of 3 weeks. I’m fast catching up, should I be scared?

I'm afraid I've reached the age where buying non-alcoholic beer non-ironically is a choice I'm going to make. Not because I have a drinking problem—or rather, i've reached a point in my non-alcoholism where my body is increasingly intolerant of small amounts of alcohol. (Primarily sleep disturbance)

Anybody know any good #nonalcoholic #brews? #beer #middleage

Caught a quick glance at myself in a store window while I was driving and I had the sinking realization that I've finally become the middle-aged, "midlife crisis sports car" guy that I have always heretofore kind of chuckled at internally (even though I've only ever owned sports cars for the last 20 years). "Cool" me has left the building, y'all. :woeisme:

Happy Monday, eh? :moodface:
