I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.
Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Thanks for all the kind messages after yesterday's wobble. 💙
The “Heart Book” from c.1550 is a collection of 83 Danish love ballads collected at the court of King Christian III. It's the oldest known Danish manuscript of its kind, and an early example of the heart signifying romantic love.

being a 19th century feminist ally was such a layup. imagine the brownie points you'd get for being on the forefront of stuff like "women's hearts won't explode if they exercise"

I think my favorite thing about Australia is that each bird here has its own unique beautiful bird song that sounds like a human or many humans crying out in the most terrifying and distressing way you have ever heard

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department

A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it.
She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid."
I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.

Hi for next week's That's Marvelous I'm working on a non-gift-guide gift guide! If you'd be okay with me including it, I'd love to know what's the best gift you've ever received. This can be a favor (a friend cleaned my apartment) or a thing (a new comforter)! Specifics only matter if they matter!
