Looking at Bernini sculptures because why not - a veil rendered in *marble* should be impossible, and yet...
Also an impossibility (unless you're Bernini or similar): the imprint of hands, carved in stone - Bernini was *23* when he finished this:
Oh, and Bernini did architecture as well, the Baroque little showoff:
Bonus Bernini: the Cornaro Chapel, because you've been extremely well-behaved, class

Oh, not this nonsense again. Segregating women is not the answer to sexual harassment. Men not being abusive asshats is.
If this was enacted, the first question a woman who had decided to travel on a 'mixed' carriage and was subsequently assaulted would be >
> asked was 'Why weren't you in the women-only carriage?'. Segregation under patriarchy *reinforces* sexism, it doesn't help to end it.

Thread on Hoysaleshwara temple, Halebidu, Karnataka.
It's not a temple. It’s a parallel universe. A time portal. A standing testimony to the ingenuity of our ancestors. It's existence speaks of the extraordinary achievements in science, architecture, mathematics. 900 years ago!
When you see Hoysaleshwara, the 1st reaction is disbelief. It doesn’t seem to be made of soapstone, but rather feels like a tapestry where all our beliefs, mythologies, our Devas, our very soul is inscribed fluidly. Nobody can return untouched. Devas do reside here!
Hoysaleshwara is a dwikuta temple with 2 linga shrines . It was built in 11th century by Kedaroja, master builder of King Narsimha I, under supervision of Ketamalla-Chief officer of public works.

Really wish Apple would embrace web-based APIs more. Things like Apple Music are *begging* for an easy-to-use API that can be accessed outside of native macOS/iOS apps.

Spotify continues to destroy Apple Music in that regard.
Example...I've got a simple web-based app for checking on new music from artists you have in your library.

Works beautifully with Spotify (thanks to their Web API), but literally impossible to use with Apple Music unless I build a native macOS or iOS app.

🤦‍♂️
So, now here I am trying to figure out if it's feasible for me to learn Swift or Objective-C to make this thing. 😭

1 / DEPLORABLE WORLD
A story written with no plan or script through nano-chapters using the prompts from #vss365 #AmWriting #SunScribbles #SunWIP #SciFi #Satsplat #BadWordSat
“#Swim steady and firm”, 15 yr old David told the others. They had been prepared. Their go-bags had the clothes approved by Deplorables and they had a small list of safe-houses in the mainland. All the adults in the island died do make their escape possible. #vss365 #AmWriting
In the mainland, it was safer to marry the kids to each other. They would live with their assigned parents according to the fake identity genealogy. What used to be known as the #cycle of abuse had been normalized. They had to blend in and hide in plain sight. #vss365 #AmWriting

Brexit seems to have run completely into a wall. This will be a thread on how to leave the European Union.

It's written by someone who thinks the idea is ludicrous so before you attack me leavers, instead think how objective that makes me, and how honest I'll be on the issues.
There are a number of significant hurdles associated with leaving the EU so we'll move away from the politics and divide them into bite sized chunks that everyone can understand.

When we've done that we'll look at what we have at the end and decide how we approach it now.
There are some principles to establish. The thread won't indulge in revising history. When you're in a 40 year relationship, signing article 50 without a plan was clearly an act of extreme stupidity. But sign it we did. So we build from where we are now, not where we should be.

1. Involved in another of those Twitter ‘debates’ yesterday in which pragmatic anti-Brexit people like Jon tried to explain to ardent Remainers that Brexit itself is not the defining political issue for many downtrodden people
2. This point about the refusal by many to countenance that fact is well made.
3. A favourite argument from Remainers is that the poor will be hit hardest. That may well be so, but it misses the point of why C2, D, E people voted in line with the selfish, comfortably off retired

My Spirit is the Roaring Sea. My story aided by @zenpencils

I'm doing something a little different today that I am very nervous about.
Today, I want to tell you a story. It’s not about pentesting today. But about people and pain. This is my story.
It’s not for everyone. But some might need to hear it, if yourself or for someone you love has been hurt by someone else. You aren’t alone.
