4yo (after watching lots of Scooby Doo): “I’m going to Chinese class in Unicorn Land. But it’s gonna be a little different, because there’s a lot of spooky things. Like there’s one thing that flies around, but it’s just a person in a unicorn costume.”

we don't talk enough about castelbajac on here
International LEGO Day is celebrated annually #OnThisDay to commemorate the date the patent for the brick system was submitted in 1958. Jean Charles de Castelbajac took inspiration from LEGO for his S/S 2009 collection and this printed cotton tunic dress! For sale via 1stDibs. #fashionhistory

I wish there were a James Beard award for sound control in restaurants.
The James Beard awards, the "Oscars" of food and restaurant awards, announced their semifinalists last week.
While most nominees are in more hip parts of DC, or in the suburbs, 2 Amys in Cathedral Heights was nominated for Outstanding Chef.

as always I am shocked by the comparatively low population densities in Europe in the medieval/early modern periods. London, far and away the biggest city in 14th century Britain, was maybe 100,000 people. The British Isles had 5-6 million people circa 1300 (Rubin's estimate); it's ~75 million today
