A fav of mine (that I’ve been lucky to see several versions of) is Degas’ Little Dancer. While the story behind the young model is very sad, her beauty and grace have been immortalized in bronze.

More stunning windows glass art by Tiffany artist, Agnes Northrop.
“Autumn Landscape” is apparently widely considered to be her masterpiece. And indeed, seeing it in person will take your breath away.

I often get tunnel vision in museums searching for my favs. Imagine my surprise then when I stumbled upon Tiffany glass!
Better, this was created by Tiffany artist Agnes Northrop.

My new love is the hippo, “William”.
The unofficial mascot of The Met, his gift shop facsimile will now have pride of place in my new office, in effect becoming the office deity.
Why is he called William? Read on to find out!

One of my great delights in ancient exhibits is all the “lil guys”. Although extremely significant in their time, depicting deities or offering protections, for us they’re more often adorable little dudes brightening our day.
Also, peep who discovered this hippo!

A delightful thing about art museums is discovering new favorites.
I have always loved the Impressionists & for me, Degas’ dancers are the best!
Below is my newest discovery in that palette: “Dancer with a Fan”.

Got to take my belated bday trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday. It was a fantastic day filled with color, beauty, and awe.
Thank you @leonard-apa.bsky.social for a spectacular time! 💕

I never thought I’d be so invested in a New York election. Plus my own state, for the past year, NJ.
Let’s hope we can see some returns today.

Facing a challenge, I reflect:
“Life is a storm…You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you…is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout…Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you…”

Despite having multiple degrees and having been to/employed at many a Uni/College, I honestly still have no idea what the hell a Provost is, nor what they do. And honestly, it feels too late to ask.

Almost a year after finishing my 1st novel, setting it aside to take a break & starting a new project, I’m finally ready to return to the 1st book & start the 2nd draft process. I had some challenges I needed to fix but it all came together today in a glorious vision! #writersky #writing

For reasons unbeknownst to us, we discovered, on a fluke, that my fussy baby (Henry) would stop fussing every time we’d play “September “ by EW&F. For a year we have jammed to this. Today is Henry’s day! 😂

What are you reading, #booksky? After a bit of a dry spell, I’m really enjoying “The Agathas“, a fun, YA mystery and homage to the great Agatha Christie whom, as the dedication reminds us, was a badass bitch! #books #reading #mystery #agathachristie
