Why not be like the goddess Veritas (Truth) today? Wear a fancy reading hat with flames, read a physical book, and maybe also ride a horse meanwhile.

@dbellingradt Does it have to be all at once? ;)
@Murenius do as you wish
@dbellingradt I think I'll go with demigod and just read the book. 😁
@dbellingradt There are, at least if you stick to pre-modern technology, probably not many combinations that are less advisable than fire, horses and books.
@dbellingradt Fancy reading hats should be a thing again!
@dbellingradt flames? I thought those were tentacles 🤯

@dbellingradt That's funny, yesterday I started reading Italo Calvino's "On a Winter Night a Traveler":

"People were accustomed to standing on their feet, without moving. They rested like that when they were tired of horseback riding. Nobody ever thought of reading on horseback; and yet now, the idea of sitting in the saddle, the book propped against the horse's mane, or maybe tied to the horse's ear with a special harness, seems attractive to you."

@dbellingradt

With the amounts of weaponized lying endlessly thrown against us, if someone wanted to wear a Veritas costume to the demonstrations, that would be so awesome.
