Twelve wallaby incisors from a Cape York rockshelter carry tiny grass tree resin balls on their roots. Not tools. Probably a necklace, 1,200 years old, and the first of its kind ever found outside a burial in northeast Australia. #Archaeology #CapeYork #MaterialCulture https://www.anthropology.net/p/twelve-wallaby-teeth-with-resin-balls

The Painter Goblin: Becoming Corporeal

by @beet_keeper

When you move country you have to be prepared to change quite a lot about your life. Back at the end of 2020, apart from literally everything else going on my partner and I also moved from Canada to Germany.

For me, this was my fifth or so international move (including shorter temporary stays) in as many years.

Being able to pick up sticks and move like that means living a drastically minimized life. Most of the things you have fit in a suitcase. Most of the things you have are small, and largely not overly whimsical. Sure, you can fit a few treasures into your bag, but you learn to value small ones, not things you might otherwise use to decorate an entire apartment!! 

So, what do you do when you do have an apartment to decorate?

You ask the best known painter in your family to conjure some magic, The Painter Goblin!
