the real tragedy of the Amis chapters is that Marius is clearly terrified of asking questions about any of the genuinely baffling multitiered punbased conversations the Amis are having, when they would all VERY DEFINITELY be beyond delighted to get a new audience to infodump on

AITA for confronting my work-friend about her lies?

I (25, f) work at a tutoring facility together with a colleague (22, f) who has over time become my friend. For background info: When we first started becoming good acquaintances, she would frequently talk about one of her hobbies - baking and decorating cakes. She would show me very impressive pictures and talk about how her friends and relatives were very happy to supply her with some extra money in exchange for her skills. I was always very much impressed by the cakes - however, over time, I became a bit suspicious of the speed at which she was churning out these masterworks. She spent a lot of time during the week at the facility where she and I worked but somehow managed to create up to 5 multitiered cakes in the span of two to three days. Therefore, I decided to put several images she send me through Google Images and sure enough, they were all taken from various cake/baking instagram accounts. I never confronted her about this except for occasionally saying stuff like: "OMG, that looks exactly like a cake I saw on Insta recently" and she eventually stopped talking about her hobby as much.

Since then, I've always treated her stories with a fair bit of suspicion, but tried to keep our friendship up as normal and we have become even better friends since then. For the last year or so, she has been constantly going on about her semester abroad at a fairly prestigious university and I believed that story to be true since she couldn't fake moving away and quitting. For her birthday, I decided to get her a travel guide for that particular city and when she unpacked it, she seemed somewhat odd. I asked her what is up and she told me that the professor who was supposed to supervise her program comitted suicide and therefore everything was canceled. I decided to google that immeadiatly and neither the uni nor any local news have reported on a suicide, a dissolution of the uni's international program or anything similar. I therefore concluded that she had lied all along.

Therefore, I confronted her after work, telling her that I believed her to be a liar in this instance, in quite a harsh tone. She didn't deny anything and just seemed fairly shocked that I decided to confront her. I told her that I didn't find it particularly fair or funny to insinuate that someone had comitted suicide and stormed out of the room because I heard more students coming (for a different teacher).

In hindsight, I feel like I was maybe a bit too confrontational and hard on her and that I should have waited for a different situation to confront her in a calmer manner. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

im really down bad for law being a sassy bitch during the raid on onigashima like he swear he don’t want these ppl on his ship but also formulated a whole big brained multitiered island raid for them

[nick-close]

It’s wild being a maladaptive daydreamer with dndads as my special interest because I just make shit up constantly. I say this a lot but it’s real. Like I look at dndads and go ‘yeah this is the world in which all the timelines reset constantly and the god system is multitiered and also Glenn has that tavern he started after becoming a god. What do you mean ‘canon’. Yes we’re talking about the same show. The one where Jodie used to do fantasy cocaine with a milf? Lark has memories of a timeline that should’ve reset because he has a lamb mask? That one? I sound insane

Vast Subterranean Aqueduct in Naples Once 'Served Elite Roman Villas'

Once played in by local children, a vast tunnel that goes through a hill in Naples, Italy, is actually a Roman aqueduct.

Forty years ago, when children in Naples were playing in caves and tunnels under the hill of Posillipo in Italy, they didn't know their playground was actually a Roman aqueduct. When they shared their memories with archaeological authorities recently, it kicked off an exploration of one of the longest, most mysterious examples of ancient water infrastructure in the Roman world.

Rome's famous aqueducts supplied water for baths, drinking, public fountains and more. Built during a period of about half a millennium (roughly 300 B.C. to A.D. 200), aqueducts around the former Roman Empire are highly recognizable today thanks to their multitiered arched structure. But this marvel of ancient architecture represents only a small fraction of the actual water system; the vast majority of the infrastructure is still underground.

Outside of Rome, subterranean aqueducts and their paths are much less understood. This knowledge gap included the newly investigated Aqua Augusta (opens in new tab), also called the Serino aqueduct, which was built between 30 B.C. and 20 B.C. to connect luxury villas and suburban outposts in the Bay of Naples. Circling Naples and running down to the ancient vacation destination of Pompeii, the Aqua Augusta is known to have covered at least 87 miles (140 kilometers), bringing water to people all along the coast as well as inland.

But the complex Aqua Augusta has barely been explored by researchers, making it the least-documented aqueduct in the Roman world. New discoveries earlier this month by the Cocceius Association (opens in new tab), a nonprofit group that engages in speleo-archaeological work, are bringing this fascinating aqueduct to light.

Thanks to reports from locals who used to explore the tunnels as kids, association members found a branch of the aqueduct that carried drinking water to the hill of Posillipo and to the crescent-shaped island of Nisida (opens in new tab). So far, around 2,100 feet (650 meters) of the excellently preserved aqueduct has been found, making it the longest known segment of the Aqua Augusta.

Graziano Ferrari (opens in new tab), president of the Cocceius Association, said in an email that "the Augusta channel runs quite near to the surface, so the inner air is good, and strong breezes often run in the passages." Exploring the aqueduct requires considerable caving experience, though. Speleologists' most difficult challenge in exploring the tunnel was to circumvent the tangle of thorns at one entrance.

"Luckily, the caving suits are quite thornproof," he said. "After succeeding in entering the channel, we met normal caving challenges — some sections where you have to crawl on all fours or squeeze through."

In a new report (opens in new tab), Ferrari and Cocceius Association Vice President Raffaella Lamagna (opens in new tab) list several scientific studies that can be done now that this stretch of aqueduct has been found. Specifically, they will be able to calculate the ancient water flow with high precision, to learn more about the eruptive sequences that formed the hill of Posillipo, and to study the mineral deposits on the walls of the aqueduct.

Rabun Taylor (opens in new tab), a professor of classics at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the report, said in an email that the newly discovered aqueduct section is interesting because it is "actually a byway that served elite Roman villas, not a city. Multiple demands on this single water source stretched it very thin, requiring careful maintenance and strict rationing."

Taylor, an expert on Roman aqueducts, also said the new find "may be able to tell us a lot about the local climate over hundreds of years when the water was flowing." This insight is possible thanks to a thick deposit of lime, a calcium-rich mineral that "accumulates annually like tree rings and can be analyzed isotopically as a proxy for temperature and rainfall," he explained.

Ferrari, Lamagna and other members of the Cocceius Association plan to analyze the construction of the aqueduct as well, to determine the methods used and the presence of water control structures. "We believe that there are ample prospects for defining a research and exploration plan for this important discovery, which adds a significant element to the knowledge of the ancient population" living in the Bay of Naples, they wrote in the report.

So I recently got Stardew Valley on my computer and have been playing it. And I have been liking it, and I’ve just had some moments that have made me laugh and I wanted to share. It’s gonna be all over the place because I’m currently on year 2 end of spring and don’t remember the order; just the events themselves.

First off this farm is way too big for me. I am struggling with it simply because there are so many trees. It is literally a forest on the other side of my farm. I’ve kept the areas I move through and farm on pretty clean but the rest? A maze. Of trees.

Ok, The rest of this is kinda multitiered and the source of all my funny moments so far for the most part:

Linus was the first person I got to 10 Hearts. It happened very fast but I don’t mind I think he’s chill.

One of the earlier cutscenes you get with him involves you catching him going through trash cans

I triggered the cutscene when I entered the town, which surprised me since that was the first instance of the cutscenes in regards to character interactions popping up

Anyway. I went into town to rifle through people’s trash cans. I had been doing it since I started the game.

I literally couldn’t say anything bad about Linus’s habit because I was literally going in to do the exact same thing.

I continued in this and got a trash can lid hat, which I wear proudly. I looked it up and there’s like a .2% chance of getting that so I’m glad I have it. Getting it has not stopped my rummaging. Today I got it again. I now have 2 trash can lid hats. I’m very proud of myself

Anyway there has definitely been some other funny moments but it is late and these are the ones that run through my head every time I open the game.

I have been enjoying the game so far, considering this is my first time playing it

Decided to throw Lissome into the Bug Fables universe for funsies :D I don't think I'm gonna make any OCs specific to Bug Fables itself, but my Hollow Knight OCs can do double duty there if I wanna have some fun hehe. And yeah, I said OCs plural, I've got a couple more I'm working on in the background. Though one of 'em might feel a little awkward putting into Bug Fables given some unintentional similarities to Leif, but that's something I'll get into later hehe :3

L’Impératrice Go Big at Terminal 5 on Saturday

L’Impératrice – Terminal 5 – January 18, 2025

Back in April, French disco artisans L’Impératrice played a rather thrilling gig at Racket, the midsize Meatpacking District club. It turns out that was just a beta version of their show, a functional, get-’em-dancing act that got the job done. Nine months later, the band has returned to the States and on Saturday played their first of two nights at the much larger Terminal 5, this time bringing their fully featured, powerhouse production, a visual feast to match their progressive dance sound.

The six-person ensemble played as if from within a futuristic disco ball, with oversize mirror sequins, beads of LEDs, and the band’s name lit up in bold sans serif in the middle of a multitiered bandstand. They have a replacement vocalist since their last visit, and, after an introductory section of bass and synthesizers, Louve led the band through the opening “Amour Ex Machina,” her voice a dreamy soprano countering the thumping low-end grooves. The ensuing set was an ecstatic overload of funk and synchronized lights, the band continually going deeper with their grooves, the lights continually augmenting the experience. 

The set list featured many song pairings with one track flowing into a second via an inventive instrumental bridge. The many-textured “Anomalie Bleue” transitioning to the poppier “Me Da Igual,” blue lights going full pastel to match. The addictive “Danza Marilu,” like a Bee Gees via Italy burner, segueing into “Sweet & Sublime,” and then “Matahari,” with its raw deep bass and DJ-in-the-club drops, and the impressive set-ending pairing of “Submarine” and “La Piscine,” expert band interplay and chops mixing in with fun choreographed dance moves to thrill the packed house in more ways than one. As great as that April gig was, full-strength L’Impératrice are a whole other sensory cocktail.  —A. Stein | @Neddyo

It seems that almost everyone likes treehouses.  Smiles of recognition turn into grins of enthusiasm as more people discover them and dream about making their own private retreats or family play spaces.  And it's nice to remind ourselves that treehouses are built into the oldest and most forgiving, living things on earth.  Also, history records treehouses as being built as deliberate follies, as challenges for arboreal designers, for merrymaking, and for keeping the spirit of fairy tales alive.  But treehouses can also be social places.  We will visit many that were built to entertain, to hang out with friends, or as guest houses.  Trees come in all types. Master treehouse builders Peter and Judy Nelson, with David Larkin, have embarked on yet another treehouse-discovery expedition across America, this time adding the investigation of backyard playhouses to their agenda.  Now, in The Treehouse Book, they reveal their findings, illustrated and described in the most complete volume yet. From casual treeshacks made from discarded lumber to multitiered feats of fancy, they found shelters representing myriad builders--interesting characters ranging from childhood fanatics grown up, to weekend carpenters, to those who want their grandkids to have the best clubhouse on the block. Detailed how-to information, including plans and drawings, is woven with behind-the-scenes tales of each structure's occupants and stunning interior and exterior photographic exploration.

#1. Boho is back, and not because of TikTok.

What do you think of when you think of boho?

For me, I think about floaty dresses, walking barefoot in the grass, crochet, gorgeous earthy tones and patterns, the French revolution, world peace, Woodstock, the 90s, and don’t forget the bohemian queen Sienna Miller.

Boho is very much a free-spirited style. It mixes different cultures and artistic expressions and merges them into this all-embracing style, with a specific emphasis on nature, think “Earthy girl”. The Boho style stands for freedom, peace, art, love and joy. It is more than just a fashion trend; it describes an unconventional and creative lifestyle. The origin of bohemian style is debated; however, it is believed to have been influenced by the nomadic lifestyle of the Romani people in the late 19th to the early 20th century. A lot of elements of boho-chic became very popular in the late 1960s, fashion then meant bohemian maxi dresses, florals, loose fittings and silhouettes, paired with oversized sunglasses and handmade junk accessories. The Boho colour palette is made up of earthy and rich colours such as maroons, deep yellows and greens and more neutral shades such as beige, pastels and browns, completely avoiding fluorescent and neon colours as this would go against the earthy, natural shades. Boho fashion is about feeling comfy and at ease, garments are often made with comfortable, soft and natural fabrics, like chiffon, cotton, suede, denim and leather. It also consists of embellishment that are eye-catching, like beadwork, embroidery and studs.

With Y2k and 90s still dominating the fashion world for the 5th year in a row (and rightly so), boho has now made a comeback. in 2004, Sienna Miller was spotted at Glastonbury in an era-defining outfit, that was thick with bohemian influence, an official festival look was established in that moment, from then to around 2007, there wasn’t an it-girl in town that didn’t implement Boho into their daily outfit, think the Olsen twins, Nicole Richie, billowing fabrics and cropped jackets. In 2022 we saw Boho all over the runway, from Albertta Ferretti’s multitiered sundresses and gladiator sandals to Altuzarra where Gigi Hadid appeared in tie-dye.

This year, back in February at Paris Fashion Week, we saw Chloé reintroduce bohemian chic in their AW24 collection. We were presented with flowy maxi dresses with lace bodies and mini capes and coats.

Something about this comeback makes me feel so happy as a fashion designer and slow fashion business owner. I can’t decide if it is because this style was brought back by the runway, or because I see more and more people choosing a more sustainable lifestyle and not submitting to the TikTok microtrends that are destroying this decade’s fashion. And if you think I’m mad, I am. I am tired of microtrends and overconsumption, capitalism. Two months ago, everyone was trying to dress like Griselda Blanco, this month everyone is wearing leopard print jeans and bows, or was that last month? You see, identities are no longer shaped by our communities, it is now shaped by the latest algorithmic trending item being shoved down our throats. “Oh my god girls you HAVE to buy these, the material is amazing” meanwhile the material is 90% polyester, and the garment was made by a five-year-old in an illegal sweatshop in a third world country, that has a 70% chance of ending up on a giant waste tip in Africa in a year’s time because God forbid, we outfit repeat. Pursuing overconsumption in the quest to explore your identity is the new norm. But that is a topic for another article, but hopefully I have made you think about your fashion choices going forward.

Styling boho

A good pair of jeans is a boho wardrobe essential. Wide legged denim jeans with embroidery would be my go-to. These embroidered high-rise jeans by Citizens of Humanity are perfect and can add the boho vibe you are seeking to the outfit.

Another boho essential is this long puff sleeved halter neck top that has been made with the classic floaty fabric, the epitome of boho vibe. Top from Miss Rosier.

Another essential that I personally love is a long patchwork maxi skirt.

This patchwork tiered midi skirt is so beautiful and such an essential if you want to achieve the boho look, this skirt can be worn with a simple white fitted t-shirt and some black platformed sandals.

Lastly, my favourite boho staple. Crochet.

A crochet bag, a crochet dress, a crochet top or even a crochet hairband. Anything crochet (and I want to emphasise – ETHICALLY MADE CROCHET), is the epitome of boho vibes.

Crochet is a versatile craft that is inspired from several centuries of needlework, and its popularity continues to grow even today. Yarn is usually made up of old materials, used cotton, denim and recycled plastic fibres which makes sustainable and kinder for our planet. The possibilities are endless with crochet, you can pretty much make anything with some yarn and a crochet needle. Anytime I tell someone I crochet (unless it’s a fellow crocheter I am talking too) they always assume I’m like an old lady who makes lumpy sweaters all day. This stereotype needs to go.

The earthy girl boho style has always been one of my favourites, I feel it’s a combination of a little bit of baddie a little bit of boho. Think healing crystal jewellery and some sparkly lipgloss.

These are some of my personal favourite styles from Pinterest.

Maybe after reading this, you are on board with the rise of bohemian style, or maybe not. It isn’t for everyone, but you can incorporate the trend into a look and not succumb to it entirely. Personally, I love it. I am hoping we see more trends come back gracefully on the runway and not by a TikTok influencer pushing it for commission who has no understanding of fashion at all. Don’t be scared to at least try the trend, fashion is fun and all about experimenting. Treat yourself to something new (and something you will wear more than once!) or even check out some online thrift brands or vintage pages on Instagram and Depop. You might find a hidden gem.

If you have made it this far, thank you for reading my work. I hope you come away from my writing having learnt something new and feeling inspired. - Kat
