During the construction of London’s massive “super sewer,” archaeologists discovered something unusual in the mud: a 500-year-old skeleton of a man still wearing his thigh-high leather boots.

The Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) announced this week that the skeleton was unearthed on the shores of the Thames, near a bend in the river downstream from the Tower of London.

“By studying the boots, we’ve been able to gain a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a man who lived as many as 500 years ago,” said Beth Richardson, a finds specialist who analyzes artifacts at MOLA Headland, a consortium of archaeologists. “They have helped us to better understand how he may have made his living in hazardous and difficult conditions, but also how he may have died. It has been a privilege to be able to study something so rare and so personal.” Read more.

we need to teach women that it’s ok for them not to become mothers because if i see any more bad moms movies coming out and keep seeing sitcoms about moms who hate their children and hate being moms i’m gonna scream like its not ok to bring a child into this world just to turn them into a traumatized adult, being a mother is about putting all your time and energy into a growing and vulnerable human being and if you’re not ready to do that, don’t become a mom.. you can lead a perfectly happy and fulfilling life without having a child just to traumatize them and make both you and your children’s lives miserable

The very excited blonde lady owns the resort where this is taken. She’s super excited because this is the closest they’ve ever come in before. Everyone else is less excited because this was taken crack of dawn; when blonde lady realized how close the whales were coming, she ran around waking everybody up to see it.
