A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that burning medicinal herbs reduced airborne bacteria by up to 94% in a controlled indoor environment over just one hour. The compounds released during burning, like 1,8-cineole, have documented antimicrobial properties that actively sanitize the air. Researchers also found the effects remarkably long-lasting, with bacterial counts remaining low for up to 24 hours and some pathogenic species undetectable for 30 days. A rare case of ancient tradition holding up under the microscope. #Smudging #AncientWisdom #SageScience #Ethnopharmacology #NaturalAntiseptic #AirPurification #HolisticHealth #ScienceAndTradition

@Crispus00 @davidlei Animals aren't evil. They kill to eat and survive. Before humans invented farming, we were exactly the same- we brutally murdered countless other animals to survive. We have taken over the vast amount of their hunting range and therefore, they turn to killing livestock

@davepl1968 When I was younger, this is what I thought the future would look like. Instead, Windows 11 looks exactly like Windows 95 just higher resolution and some transparency effects.

More than four thousand years ago, before the idea of an “author” even existed, one woman stepped forward and signed her name.... Enheduanna lived around 2300 BC, in a world where writing was primarily administrative—lists, laws, inventories scratched into clay. She transformed it into something radical: personal voice. Not myth anonymously handed down, not royal propaganda spoken about gods, but words spoken to them, from an individual soul. As high priestess of the moon god Nanna in the city of Ur, Enheduanna stood at the intersection of religion and empire. She was also the daughter of Sargon of Akkad, architect of the world’s first known empire. Her role was political as much as spiritual: through ritual and poetry, she helped bind conquered Sumerian cities to Akkadian rule. But her writing went far beyond statecraft. In her hymns—especially those devoted to the goddess Inanna—she did something unprecedented. She wrote in the first person. She described fear, humiliation, exile, rage, devotion, and spiritual collapse. When she was violently removed from her temple during a political uprising, she did not record it as history. She wrote it as lived experience: a woman cast down, pleading with a goddess who embodied power, sexuality, destruction, and renewal. This was theology infused with autobiography. Politics braided with prayer. Power examined from the inside. Enheduanna’s language shaped religious thought across Mesopotamia for centuries. Later hymns to gods echoed her structure, her metaphors, her emotional intensity. Scribal schools copied her work long after her death, treating it as a model of literary excellence. Her influence is not hypothetical—it’s traceable in clay tablets found hundreds of miles apart, over generations. What makes her extraordinary is not only that she was first, but how she was first. She claimed authorship. She declared that these words came from her mind, her devotion, her suffering. In doing so, she introduced a concept that underpins all literature that followed: that a single human voice, honestly expressed, can shape culture, belief, and power itself. © Women In World History #archaeohistories

@CLG98264897 Central heating was invented by the Greeks and improved upon by the Romans starting in the first century BC. In 1790, James Watt developed a steam furnace, and radiators were developed in the 1800s. In 1919, Alice Parker was granted a patent for the first gas-powered furnace.

@worldvolume @rob7681 @Wisdom_HQ @SonOfATech Mutations are random. They don't always result in positive changes. Some negative changes aren't negative enough to be weeded out by natural selection. People who bald generally don't do so until after they've procreated, so it gets passed on.

They called it “exposure.” A term that sounds clinical, maybe even benign—like sunlight or fresh air. But in practice, it meant this: a newborn baby, often a girl, carried outside the city and left alone in the wild to die. In ancient Athens, this wasn’t considered murder. It was routine. A matter-of-fact part of life. People talked about it openly—as if it were no more controversial than choosing when to plant crops or how to balance the household budget. It was framed as economic necessity, sometimes even responsible parenting. The decision belonged to the father. The law backed him up. So did tradition. And it wasn’t equal. Not even close. Girls were abandoned far more often than boys. A son could carry on the family name, inherit land, perform sacred rituals, and care for aging parents. A daughter? She came with a dowry, couldn’t inherit in the same way, and was seen—across all levels of society—as a financial liability. Wealth didn’t shield her. One ancient writer said it plainly: “Everyone raises a son, even if he is poor. But a daughter? Even the rich expose her.” There was no illusion of mercy. No comforting story to soften the cruelty. Some babies might have been taken in by strangers or trafficked into slavery, but that was a fluke—not the plan. Most died, slowly and alone—of cold, hunger, or animals. And everyone knew it. The practice didn’t just thin out the population. It carved a deep message into the cultural bedrock: that female life was optional. Conditional. Disposable. Generations were raised with that belief quietly embedded in their worldview. Mothers? They had almost no say. Once the baby was born, it was laid at the father’s feet. Literally. That was the custom. He looked down and decided: raise or discard. It’s a part of classical civilization that doesn’t show up in the gleam of marble statues or the echo of great speeches. While Athens was laying the intellectual foundation for democracy, philosophy, and reason, it was also drawing a hard line—before a girl could even cry out—about who mattered and who didn’t. © Women In World History #archaeohistories

If the order in which the Starfleet ships arrive matches the order in which their names are announced by their Captains, these are the Starfleet ships (and their respective classes) at the end of #StarfleetAcademy's "Vox in Excelso". I'll cover these ships in more detail later. :-)

@TheRightMelissa "She was fired because she recorded her firing" makes absolutely no sense. The recording of the firing obviously happened after the decision to fire her.

@ComptonJapan @nicksortor @OmarFatehMN He obviously mean the Minneapolis metropolitan area, as Americans commonly speak of cities proper and their metropolitan areas interchangeably. There's a Walmart outside the city limits of my hometown, but it's "that town's Walmart."

@OmarFatehMN Isn't it interesting how the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport is neither in the city limits of Minneapolis nor St. Paul? Because it's speaking of the metropolitan area, as was Nick.

@Liberty_Vegan @bumbadum14 You have it backwards. Innocent people were suffering before they did this. 87 people were murdered in El Salvador in the 3 days leading up to the crackdown in 2022. Since, murder has dropped by 80%. The amount of innocent people being hurt is now astronomically less.

The concern in this image is not that rapists and murderers are being treated harshly. That's good. It's that, guaranteed, there are innocent men in that pile of human flesh. The government, no matter where on earth, is at best incompetent, at worst, malevolent. Its existence is not, and never was, for your benefit.

@1Andrew_J @kabaal23 @Liberty_Vegan @bumbadum14 And that makes no logical sense, because if you let 10 murderers or rapists go free, more than one innocent person is going to suffer because of that. Time and time again, we see these activist judges letting people free, only for them to murder or rape another person.

@sqronce @bumbadum14 Rapists should be castrated AND imprisoned for at least a decade. Child rapists should be slowly tortured to death in a way that strikes fear into the hearts of all who may consider such a vile act.

@bumbadum14 What? Who says rapists should be castrated? Maybe optional chemical castration in certain circumstances, is something I’ve heard arguments for. But that’s more a medical treatment than a punishment.

@LongZavier @bumbadum14 Yeah, I’ve definitely heard that from the conservative side in more of a punishment sense. But I have heard some discussion of a more of a rehab side of the coin from more left wing people. I don’t really feel like discussing the specifics. But, the original post up top is dumb.
