To all the new followers: welcome! Here you’ll find photos carefully colorized by myself at the expense of my poor wrist, dog photos because why not, photos of skeletons and mummies and all things related, and photos of naked soldiers.

I hope you enjoy the ride.
The only rules are: don't talk about AI, don't say that you enjoyed Dunkirk and don't say that cats are better than dogs.

And buy my books thanks very much
Dunkirk = the movie. For God's sake.
Ps: also don't make fun of me if I eventually say that I'm listening to Celine Dion.

This is probably the only photograph of nine reigning kings gathered in the same room ever taken. They were in London for the funeral of King Edward VII.

Windsor Castle, 1910.

The funeral of King Edward VII was the last time all of the great European monarchs would meet before the First World War.

This is how Ancient Greece really looked like. Here's a reconstruction of Curetes Street in ancient Ephesus.

Ps: A peristyle house on the corner of Curetes Street is known as the brothel, because in the excavations, a statue of Priapus with an oversize phallus was found there. Image
Image
Fun fact: an underground tunnel was constructed from the Library of Celsus to a brothel. Image

Traduzindo a minha thread que era pra ser só uma resposta a um tweet mas virou quase um desabafo:

Fui diagnosticada há alguns meses, aos 25 anos. Passei por psicólogos e psiquiatras desde os 3 anos e recebi todos os tipos de diagnóstico, exceto autismo.

(segue..) Image
Hoje consigo ver que era muito óbvio.

Nós (mulheres) somos subdiagnosticadas, especialmente porque quando expressamos nossos traços autistas, as pessoas não os veem como traços autistas. Nos veem como tímidas, rudes, anti-sociais..
E os médicos (pessoas), em geral, NÃO estão preparados para lidar com o autismo e pessoas autistas, muito menos para diagnosticar.

No meu caso, foi questionado e descartado na infância. Imaginem o qt a minha vida teria sido diferente se eu tivesse encontrado alguém capacitado.

#OnThisDay in 1895 In Paris, an express train overruns a buffer stop, crosses more than 30 meters of concourse before plummeting through a window at Gare Montparnasse.

Colorized for The Colour of Time. Read and see more in the book. ImageImage
With the train several minutes late and the driver trying to make up for lost time, it approached the station too fast and there was a failure to apply the train air brake.

A woman in the street below was killed by falling masonry. Image
