why oh why do I keep forgetting this place exists ☹️
reminder: it's a month away, but july is Pride Month 2 and in some ways it's better than june bc corporations don't try to capitalize on it and so it's solely a community celebration

In the ancient Mediterranean, letters were often inscribed in clay. If you've ever worked with clay, you'll know that it gets brittle if it gets dry without being fired. It was not meant for long-term storage.
Nevertheless, because of a fire, we have communication with a man named Ea-Nasir, c. 1750 BCE. He collected hundreds of tablets written to him.
They were all complaints. Ea-Nasir was a copper dealer and the first known con artist.
The British Museum has one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-nasir
trans people being there and super supportive of each other: A+
Here he is, if you’re not into clicking links 😊

Speaking of tea, I have a tiny fox 🦊 keeping mine warm.
@benofbrown there you go! That would explain it 😉
Somebody across the desk from me has a mug bearing the legend WHERE THERE’S TEA, THERE’S HOPE. I find myself inclined to agree.
Capybara getting a good scratch
My mum in law’s garden never fails to surprise and thrill. Chequered flowers. How? Why? I love ‘em.

@verity I assume this isn’t a positive step for the neighbourhood...
@maloki 9am here, and while I’m in the office I guarantee somewhere there’ll be a beer garden full of crispy people somewhere (possibly uni students?)
Because I live in Britain, it’s obligatory that I inform you that it is sunny and warm and nobody seems to be wearing a jacket. Beer gardens are full. Pavements are lukewarm. Nobody remembers sunscreen until they’re crispy and pink. Ah, our two days of summer.
@craigmaloney @danielswensen hi there! Like the profile. Welcome aboard :-)
