This jeweled skeleton comes from the Waldsassen Basilika in Germany, the “Sistine Chapel of Death.” Skilled nuns, or occasionally monks, dressed the skeletons in elaborate 18th-century clothing and then covered them with jewels.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

'It was...Habermas’ mentor...Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that nation’s descent into hell was, and I quote, ‘the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power,”’ Gore said. “The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality.'
