Nothing to make me feel older than realizing when I started writing about a certain set of prints they were "nearly 500 years old" and now they are "over 500 years old"...

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

One of my favourite courses I ever took in undergrad was a history of architecture course for which we had to sketch to a theme each week. It is such an amazing way to see things in a new light, so I can only imagine how enriching this course would be.
The amazing #drawing course “Drawing Rome” will run again, taught by artist and architect David Dernie. It’s an amazing way to learn to see, observe and draw (and to explore #Rome) for beginners as well as experienced people.

If you are teaching the Birds Head Haggadah it is indeed compulsory to include the pop-up version. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

A friendly PSA for my fellow Canadians: the Americano as the name for the coffee drink is already a knock against Americans who were scoffed at by Italians for drinking watered down coffee, so please, I beg of you, don’t rename it the Canadiano. It’s not the clever move you think it is.

I had so much fun going into the rare book collection @bhmpi.bsky.social to work on this online exhibition together with the rest of the Visualizing Science team!
🔬How did artists and scientific practitioners visualize their work in the early modern period? That’s the main question behind the online exhibition of rare books curated by @sietskefransen.bsky.social, @ariellaminden.bsky.social and Leendert van der Miesen.

I love all my friends saying things like, “I wish I could make a career off being petty and making diss tracks” after the halftime show, and I’m out here like, “Have you considered academia?”

So this is really cool: a stamp impression from the library of the Ilkhanid vizier Rashid al-Din (d. 1318). It reads “pious endowment [waqf] of the Rashidiyya library,” & it may have been inspired by Chinese prints/stamps. Stamped waqf notices are totally unheard of for this time!

In a piece about risotto in the @newyorker.com there was reference to an 1809 recipe being early, so I wrote in with two 1549 recipes and… my letter got published?! (I’ve never written a letter to the editor before in my life!)
