Apparently 17th century women had no time for your shit.

Paintings respectively by Artemisia Gentileschi & Elisabetta Sirani
A masterpiece realistic painting of two women holding a man down so they can saw his head off with a small dagger. they have very no-nonsense expressions on their faces. A masterpiece realistic painting of a woman toppling a man into a well head first. she looks like she is thinking about what to have for lunch.

Rabbit, Rabbit
Two propped up books: one is called We love you bunny and has a rabbit face made of flowers on the cover, and the second is titled If you're seeing this it's meant for you and has a rabbit on the cover.

"YOU HAVE IT!!"

One of the lines from the 3-book collection of folklore and urban legend inspired stories, perfect to tell in a dark room with a flashlight shoved under your chin.

Currently listening to this biography of Mary Putnam Jacobi (very much recommend!) and the more things change ...
The cover of the book the Cure for Women by Lydia Reeder, the subtitle reads Dr Mary Putnam Jacobi and the challenge to Victorian medicine that changed women's lives forever. The picture on the cover is of three women facing away from us all in Victorian dress two of them are examining a third woman.

An example of why I believe Serwer is the most brilliant political writer of this era. If you don't have time for the entire article right now, at least read the last paragraph.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

When the silver lines grouped themselves into form and being, it was a if lustrous spirits danced airily a ghost dance of joy, now flashing for an instant into vivid life, now paling and fading into silver mist that still retained their gracious contours.

I would like some type of review system where there is a spoiler strictly for whether or not the pet/animal featured prominently in the story makes it to the end.

Soft words and a safe place to sleep; a woman's hand in his hair; a last, wrinkled apple cut carefully in half and savored by candlelight, in the dead of winter--all worth more than power ...
