🪷 8 May is No Socks Day and 9 May is National Lost Sock Memorial Day: The city of #Antinoopolis, established by #Hadrian at the place on the Nile where #Antinous died in October 130 AD, is famous for its spectacular woven garments and tapestries. Now British Museum experts say this child's sock, which was found in an ancient Antinoopolis trash dump, shows that Antinoopolis weavers created colorful stripey socks with innovative weaving and dyeing techniques. antinousstars.blogspot.com/202 #NoSocksDay 🪷

🪷 Int'l Day of Pink is a worldwide anti-bullying and anti-homophobia event in the 2nd week of April. Remember the men with the pink triangles and to take a stand against LGBTQIA+ bullying and discrimination! This video shows how the Rosy Lotus became associated with Antinous.
