Those are lovely pictures! Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to one day see Pompeii myself, I'm preparing myself by studying Italian.

Zum Wochenstart: Im Mai 2017 hat die UNO den 30. September als offiziellen International Translation Day ausgerufen. Den #Weltübersetzertag#Asterix als Legionär lese.

Ein Legionär sagt etwas auf Gotisch und ein Übersetzer überträgt dessen Sprache in die Sprache des Zenturios.

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies

Oh hey, apparently B&N is doing a one day preorder sale today! If you were thinking of buying THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN WORLDS (or any other upcoming books), now is a great day to get 25% off! (with free membership) www.instagram.com/p/DAV5S6zoIsu/ (Now to figure out which books to preorder myself...)

Well the French chopped off their heads and put their crowns in a museum for everyone to look at (after paying 22€).

There were more. The girls took some amazing photos of various crown jewels.

I accompanied my 14yo daughter and her best friend to the Louvre today. They wanted to see the Greek and Egyptian sections, but we saw so much more!
