@PeteOlusoga Where do you find him, he's hilarious! I had no idea that so many everyday behaviours involved asserting dominance over inanimate objects. Mind you, I am a woman, and so totally not his target demographic.

Perfect timing for the first day of #HWM2025 in Sheffield. And for those who weren't at @alicepawlik's biosecurity workshop, don't kiss snakes!
Well in the USA it’s national serpent day, which is an excuse to show this mosaic of a boy playing with snakes from Syria, 5th century CE in the Louvre. He’s clearly inspired by the myth of the infant Heracles but needs to be very careful…
