Best part of working from home is the cuddles

This partial neanderthal skeleton covered in mineral deposits was found in a sinkhole in Italy. It remains one of the most striking images I've seen. I think about it a lot.

A skull and some of the long bones of a neanderthal skeleton. They are covered in white encrustations that strongly resemble pearls. These encrustations are also on the cave walls.

This is the worst idea to come out of Wolfenbüttel since "we live in the best of all possible worlds" (jk jk I love you Leibnitz)

Happy Bastille day. Sic semper tyrannis.

Bastille day by Pablo Picasso. A heavy lined angular portrait of various Parisian monuments (Notre Dame, a bridge over the seine) drawn in an angular style with many French flags visible.

Basically me at all times. Sorry in advance for ruining your cocktail party.

Her brown hair is in pigtail braids and she's wearing a peter pan collared shirt and an argyle sweater.

You and me both, Charles

St Teresa has joined the "not mad, just disappointed" group.

The same statue of St Ignatius, now fully visible. Next to it is a smaller statue of St Teresa of Avila with a similar expression with her eyes heavenward. They're supposed to look saintly but I've always thought they look exasperated.

Happy 4th.

Then one day I was at my favorite thrift store (run by a Catholic parish) and I saw this one and thought "wow that's bold"

When I moved to Santa Clara after I came back from Europe, I started noticing these flags everywhere and, being the bay area, I thought it was some sort of patriotic leather pride thing:

The thin blue line flag. A monochromatic American flag with a blue line going down the center

Driving down Folsom today and seeing the huge leather pride flags reminds me of my favorite "I line in a liberal bubble of my own making" story. For context, this is the leather pride flag:

A flag with blue and black and one white stripe and a heart in the upper left corner.

Post one (1) photo of a painting that you took with your very own hands. Diego Rivera, the lady in white, 1939

His majesty enjoyed the walk and the stop at the park, where he was pet by several new people.

A very fluffy red and white corgi on a blue and white linoleum floor with a relaxed expression on his face. His mouth is slightly open and his pink tongue is visible.

Lol. LMAO. www.theodramatist.com/early-modern...

A screenshot of my results from the above quiz, with the result "The Jesuit." This is fuuny because I study early modern Catholics and I've written a lot about Jesuits.

Inspired by @bloodwork.show 's latest episode about Afghan war carpets, I took a fresh look look at mine which I picked up at a second hand store in 2010. It cost me about $8. What I find telling about it is how the English lettering is almost illegible, but the weapons are clearly identifiable.

A small carpet on a blue and white tiles floor. It depicts a map of Afghanistan and various weapons of war, including submachine guns, rocket launchers, Bradley vehicles, grenades and several types of tanks. It should say "made in Afghanistan" and "Pakistan" but the letters are a mess. It's dated 2008

Reminds me of this gem

A cartoon of a woman of African descent wearing a white shirt and striped pants. She is bent down talking to a little girlwith similar features and a stubborn look on her face. Child is wearing a nightgown.
The caption of the cartoon reads "Listen to me. Gender is a construct, society is a construct, money is a construct. But bedtime is very, very real"

Mine too. He's named after Charles II (all my corgis have been named for British monarchs. Before this I've had Henry and William)
