Now I wish I had flopped down on the sidewalk and done a “petal angel.” Maybe next year.

I recognize that view! Great day for a baseball game.
It’s a beautiful day but cold. I’m in shorts and everybody else is in a hoody with the hood up.
Yeah, I could understand that. Just came in all sweaty from mowing the lawn so my impression of the temp is a little skewed. Hopefully you’ll be in the sun at some point.

So, this guy. His grandmother started an insurrection to get him installed. Then when he became unpopular, memaw decided another grandson was better suited to the job and plotted his assassination. From the description of the events at the end, he didn’t exactly help himself by having people put to death for insubordination. His mother was killed with him; they were beheaded and dragged naked through town then dumped in the Tibre.
An example of a modern historian’s assessment is Adrian Goldsworthy’s: “Elagabalus was not a tyrant, but he was an incompetent, probably the least able emperor Rome had ever had.”[9]
The Romans didn’t fuck around when it came to term limits.

Should I open it?
J/k. This was sitting on the corner for a few days but when I went by today it was gone. I was curious but also afraid there might be a severed head or something in there.

How many different times did you see it?
It sat there three days in a row. Maybe taking the picture made it go away.
Back in Arizona in Tempe near ASU there was a railroad crossing where people left stuff for other people to take. I would take pictures of some of it, Idk why. There was a bottle of some kind of liquor that was there for a couple of weeks before someone took it. Odd bc there are a lot of homeless in the area.

I would have been tempted to have a look.
I was walking to work one day on a weekend in Chapel st Prahran which is a fairly trendy strip in Melbourne and saw this cardboard box. Being curious I had a look in and there were 5 grey kittens! I took them to work with me and then brought them home until I could find homes for them. They were reasonably feral at first, my bf would fall asleep on the couch and he’d end up with kittens sprawled all over him but as soon as he woke up they scarpered. My cat hated them with a passion lol.

Aw, that’s sad that people do that. It’s cool you found them places. Funny, I saw this article about why cats love boxes today, written by Sean Carroll’s wife, Jennifer Ouellette:

It would have been a more interesting story if there had been a decapitated head in the box!

The A+ story would be a bunch of kittens with a severed head.
