The discovery of an Iron Age sandal on an icy Norwegian mountain provides more evidence that the mountain served as a travel route about 1,700 years ago.

A mountain hiker found the sandal in an area known as the Horse Ice Patch in late August 2019. The hiker contacted researchers at Secrets of the Ice, who study archaeology preserved within glaciers and ice patches.

“He sent us GPS coordinates and photos, and left the discovery in the ice. Well done,” Espen Finstad, the archaeologist responsible for the fieldwork and report from the site, told Live Science in an email.

As the archaeologists prepared to retrieve the shoe, they realized that the forecast predicted snow, which could blanket the find. “Then it could take many years before it melted out again,” Finstad said. “We archaeologists had a day to go in and collect the find,” which they did on Sept. 2, 2019, but “it was a long day.” Read more.

patrick bateman: *licks a strawberry icecream he got from an icecream truck* hm yummy ice cream

his internal monologue: look at me . eating processed flavoring. There is no strawberry in here. It’s but a pastiche of the real deal. An ice cream with artificial flavoring, a momentary joy. Tested countless times in a lab, masquerading as if it’s authentic, genuine. Me and a strawberry icecream are alike in that sense: gentle on the outside, palatable and unassuming. The only difference is that I don’t come with nutrition facts advising of any warning signs concerned parents will scan over, and by the time I strike, itll be too late

disclaimer i have never seen this movie I just think the soul of this guy possessed me

The last of the element series I did for my aerial school.

After I took on being creative professionally I found I had no other hobbies, and I need hobbies, so I took on aerial arts and loved it forever more.

“… “I’m non-binary so I just don’t see myself as a woman, solely,” Monáe explained. “I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the ‘’he’ or the ‘she’.”

Monáe continued: “And if I am from God, I am everything. I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women.

“I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am. Beyond the binary.” …”
