Doves with a halo aren't exclusively Fra Angelico but (for a self-challenge) I doubt they survived past the early renaissance. Further evidence our stained glass maker of 1509 is harking back, and I can't help but feel it's to Fra Angelico.

🇮🇷 Mass protests are taking place across Iran, including people burning effigies Khamenei.
The active phase of the protests has been ongoing for several days and is spreading to an increasing number of cities and provinces.

2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments.
One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿

These eager beavers saved the Czech government $1.2 million
After plans stalled for a new dam in the Czech Republic, eight beavers saved the day seemingly overnight. “At this point, nothing that beavers do surprises me.”

Until just a couple of decades ago, they were pretty much unheard-of & not needed.
That we have food banks is a testament to the fundamental generosity and kindness of people. That we need food banks - and that governments crow jubilantly about how many we have - is a savage indictment of how broken our society is.
