Wednesday at Nanjing's Jingfeng 景枫 was all about helping stray animals.🐈‍⬛💗TNR education, charity sales, and even a themed pop-up cafe — and yes, lots of humans, furry kids, and mosquitoes.😂Someone even brought their adopted stray cat along to run a booth.🥹 There was this kid at the "cat balls" wall: Dad: These are cat balls. Kid: Cat balls. (Petting...) Dad: Neutering means cutting them off. Kid: Cutting them off. Dad: Cut the balls. Kid: ...Balls. Dad: Do you want to cut your balls?🤣 Kid: (Silence)😭 @DiscoverNanjing @HereIsNanjing @ShouldHaveCat

Scissors hand 1,300 years ago:✌️ In 2019, archaeologists found the Tang Dynasty tomb of Guo Xing in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Inside the murals, several figures are clearly throwing the exact “scissors hand” we use in photos today: At least four of the eight “figures under trees” painted on the coffin platform strike the pose. But here’s the twist: experts say it probably did NOT mean “victory” or “peace.” That modern meaning came much later—the victory sign only became famous in WWII, and the peace sign took off in the 1960s. Archaeologist Pei Jingrong says some scholars think the Tang gesture was a blessing, but there’s still no agreed explanation.
