According to the @sulphurmuseum, in the late 1800s Tampa's Sulphur Springs became a major tourist destination. Through the 1940s the springs featured a 40-foot water slide and alligator farm.

Happy #InternationalDogDay! This thread is a celebration of our four-legged friends, starting with this dog scratching his ear from an Athenian red-figure cup by the Euergides Painter. This pup dates back to 510-500 BC.
Do you have a favourite dog in the Ashmolean collection?

That last bit is true, the @MaryRoseMuseum collections team confirmed it.
More importantly, though, there's the ship's dog, Hatch, who was probably responsible for pest control, catching rats down in the storage areas.
He was also a good boy. Yes, he was. #InternationalDogDay

On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass gave a searing speech on the irony of celebrating America’s Independence Day while millions of people were still enslaved, posing the question: “What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July?”

Today is #WorldTurtleDay, and we think its perfectly acceptable if you want to slow down a bit in honor of our shelled friends.
