The UK city less than two hours from London that’s ‘England’s oldest’ | UK | News News Buzz
A picturesque city in eastern England purports to be the oldest in the country – with a history dating all the way back to the Iron Age. Colchester, the second-largest urban area in Essex, has a lot to boast about when it comes to its cultural background. Formerly known as Camulodunum under Roman rule, when it functioned as the capital of Britain, the city can claim to be the oldest in…

Solnitsata
Believed by archaeologists to be the oldest town in Europe, Solnitsata was a fortified stone settlement - citadelle, inner and outer city with pottery production site and the site of a salt production facility approximately six millennia ago; it flourished ca 4700–4200 BC.
The settlement was walled to protect the salt, a crucial commodity in antiquity.

Cass calling dibs on batman after Bruce became nightwing not because she’d be the best (everyone already knows that) but because now that Dicks out of the picture she’s the oldest and therefore entitled to whatever she wants

Archery Science Professor at the Vulcan Institute of Defensive Arts [Patreon | Commissions]
#someone in the tags of a post [I can't remember which or I'd have put it in the caption]#said Tuvok is like those male english/history teachers that you're convinced are gay until they drop the fact that they have a wife and kid#that's all I was thinking as I drew this HEHEHE#Professor Tuvok/Young Dad can have longer hair as a treat#his hair does not grow downward - he's using products clips and accessories#bea art tag#happy Tuvok Tuesday <3#Tuvok#st voy#st voyager#star trek voyager#apparently (memory beta) the institute is located in Xen'tal which is on the outskirts of Gol#and the institute is really more for ceremonial practice and honing discipline since Vulcans have cast away violence & most of what's taugh#doesn't do much good if your enemy has - say - a phaser#but anyway all this to say it's a very small one-horse type of town with nothing much to do and I think that makes a lot of sense for Tuvok#imagine you're Sek and you grow up in Xen'tal and then one day your dad's like guys we're going to space#It's fun to imagine Tuvok's oldest thinking of him primarily as a professor while his youngest thinks of him primarily as Starfleet#Tuvok's kids bored out of their mind trying to think of something to do while wandering around town <3#Good image!!#It's fun to think of your favorite characters' pre-canon lives!#I like how even though Tuvok decided to raise a family rather than work in the temple he still has monk tendencies#he's so ascetic <3

"Alphabet mafia" was funny (courtesy of @birthclod) so here are my alphabet mafia + nationality headcanons for Town of Salem's best faction (sorry to the roles without skins </3)
#some elaboration in the tags if you care to read#town of salem#i'm lactose intolerant#my art#tos#assume they live in italy unless otherwise stated#consig being canonically trans by accident is insane to me. she's so fucking funny. also yes she is german-irish because of tom hagen <3#i hc the itor surname as a shortening of heitor. and that it's the forger's (her last name is NOT direction) and yuan is her bio child#this is weirdly elaborate. he's her bio kid and she raised him but also he was a test tube baby and was born via surrogacy#mafio + consig are very close friends and treat each other like siblings#they met as little kids while gf was in her city on business and mafio was a quiet kid so gf was happy that mafio had made a friend#flash forward to gf regularly going out of his way to fly a 7-year-old + family across international borders for playdates with his kid#forger & consort are like 20 years apart in age but consort looks younger than she is and forger looks older than she is#consort is ~35 and looks ~25 and forger is ~55 and looks ~70. it's rough out there for an early retinol user and a stress ager.#gf and hypno are oldest at late 60s-early 70s and jani is youngest at around 22-25#also very important that all of them have little roses somewhere. consig's is on her belt + jani's is on a little bracelet#forger's is hard to see bc very small (it's her necklace). hypno with a little rose badge holder clip was my best idea ngl#and fine. i will address the elephant in the room. disguiser. there we go i mentioned them.#'why do they have a single parent. who is it.' i swear if you can put 2 and 2 together it's really funny...

Something I really need Stranger Things fic writers to know is that no one in rural America was locking any doors in the eighties apart from the government and businesses. I remember when there was a big stink about "we gotta start locking our doors now how am I supposed to remember that every time I leave the house." People didn't lock the doors when they were home until at LEAST the mid-aughts, a lot of people STILL don't. "Oh we can't get into so-and-so's house/car because we don't have the keys!" You do not need the keys, just open the door. "I'm alarmed because I went over to so-and-so's house and their front door was unlocked so I instantly knew something was wrong." It would be much weirder if it was locked. If I showed up at my friend's house and the door was locked I would immediately assume something was wrong. If I lived in a town regularly invaded by monsters and patrolled by mobs of government agents/Russian spies/jocks with guns, I would assume my friend was currently being hunted.
#stranger things#pretty sure Will just walked into his house in the first episode#I know Mike did when he brought Eleven home#None of these doors are locked#Please stop including it as plot points because it takes me right out of the story and leaves me staring into space#Also while we're at it:#VHS tapes will not fit in Steve's back jeans pocket#That's not happening#And it is completely normal for the Wheelers to not know where their two oldest kids are#Parents in the eighties expected you to show up for breakfast and for dinner and that's it#Sometimes you bike to the other side of town to get up to trouble with your friends and that's just how it is#If you were inside they were concerned about your health#And no one was particularly stressed about being able to reach anyone because that was the usual state of things#Sorry for the rant#So many of you are too young to have known the carefree days of the height of serial killers lol#Kids rarely went missing and most people had only ever heard of murders and other serious crimes in the big city#No one in Hawkins is concerned except the people who have dealt with the monsters

are we going to stop sending billions of fucking dollars to a tyrannical genocidal maniac so he can bomb and murder and literally instantly evaporate thousands innocent human beings and I don’t know spend it on solid infrastructure, homelessness, healthcare, and preserving what we have left of this beautiful world I’m so fucking sick.
#leah rambles#can’t even jokingly say bring the flood#because it’s really only poor and uneducated and marginalized people who will suffer#rich people will be fine. you won’t be.#where the fuck is our president for real#Atlanta is on FIRE#entire towns WIPED OFF THE MAP. bridges DESTROYED.#entire families are being decimated. oldest most sacred buildings are being destroyed.#when will it fucking stop

I was about to start throwing plates because even though hours have passed, the messages on my deco my tree just wouldn't load and in all honesty I was looking forward to reading those more than getting my christmas presents. But looks like making an account on another sketchy website that was linked on that already also sketchy website did give me access to the messages finally. The only problem is that i can't see who they're from but also they seem to be chronological so I think I can figure it out lol. So after some frustrations i can finally say that i have read them and they were really sweet and nice.... so, thank you friends!!!!! 💝 I hope your holidays were great too. And moral of the story is don't trust random websites like these with something that's sort of personal to you idk
#speaking of presents i need to brag about something#because now i offically have 20 vinyl records that i've gathered since starting my collection in spring of 2023#and my newest one is also actually the oldest and kind of an odd one out. surfer girl by the beach boys!#i'm really shocked that my dad remembered how we had this one conversation that also mentioned this band#about how i've been meaning to get into more of those bands that are considered maybe among the most influential and sort of classic#and just more 60s music in general. and we just listened to the album today and it was lots of fun#another thing is that after 4+ years since the game got released and since my months long animal crossing hypefixation started#i actually have new horizons now yay!!!! time to dig up my notes from all those months back#where i wrote down all my detailed plansfor customising my island IF I HAD ONE#but yeah this is exciting i haven't actualy played any ac games since uh idk even when#i probably haven't logged into either of my wild world or new leaf towns in over a year or maybe even two years#so i'm excited to return to the animal crossing world once again. those games are among my favourites ever#i'm definitely naming my island 'cowtown' by the way#also it was frosty overnight so today i took a walk and took some nice photos of everything being covered in frost#the magic of nature will always amaze me so... yay. all in all i had a chill christmas time#most of all i'm glad i didn't get sick out of nowhere at the end of holidays like last year that was kind of wild and rough#and i'm sending healing powers to those who might have had to deal with sickness of any kind. i know how that feels........#goosepost

And it's funny because the gen 4 games all talk about the myths and legends but it feels like arceus didn't potray any of those lol. it basically introduced more legends that your character didn't get to see for some reason? You'd think going back to the past your character would be more involved in that stuff that was talked about in the ds games but I guess not
#theres a town in pearl/diamond thats said to be cynthias hometown and the oldest town in sinnoh and i think they hint that that town was#started where cogita lives(?) but its just her and volo and you only see her house and a farm and thats it#i get that the idea is that its a new place that hasnt been built up yet but i still think its crazy that you cam only go to one city and#two clans and the clans are just small areas on the open world map#whatevaaar nintendo needs its millions

#kinda been feeling sad and overstimulated for the past 2 days#my oldest sisters are in town and i'm remembering why i don't talk to them one on one very often anymore#bc they talk to me like i'm an idiot and a nuisance and i can't do anything right around them#if they get mad at me for not staying downstairs with them tonight i might fucking snap#i don't even have the energy to distract myself and draw stuff rn this sucks#thank GOD my manager didn't schedule me for tuesday i'll actually have a day to recuperate after everyone leaves#mj rambles#tw vent
