Heroes do not always wear capes.
Some heroes build #latrines instead!
(Capes are rather unpractical when you do this kind of work.☺️)
My good friend Raymond, who I have followed and supported during six years now, is in need of some more funding for his latest project.
I am out of money, but maybe some others have some extra?
He has #PayPal , so it is an easy transfer.

The horrible conditions in blocks & barracks in all parts of the Auschwitz complex as well as the appalling sanitary conditions contributed to the exhaustion and death of many prisoners.

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me … a surprisingly accurate reconstruction of a royal diet from the age of lords and ladies.

Because everyone poops, archaeological sleuths can use fossilized feces, or #coprolites, or the remnants of #latrines to figure out what their users ate. As I describe in Chapter 4 of Flush, everything from plant seeds to parasite eggs can help scientists reconstruct diets, hygiene & even trading routes—from leaping lords to less excitable commoners.
