It's funny, many of the people who say "we must help people HERE before we help people over THERE," also vote against helping people HERE. I'm beginning to think it isn't about having compassion for the wrong people, it's about having compassion at all.

🧵Trump surrendering tonight's Q&A to 30 minutes of his fave songs while standing on stage, awkwardly conducting at times, echoes MANY instances of cultic leaders who, exhausted, ill, and at the end of their cognitive rope, outsource their emotional dominance subroutines... /1

hard to believe, Edward Hopper drew this at the age of nine. already his eye was astute--most children don't seem to "see" figures anything like this; indeed, most adults, asked to draw a human figure, fail utterly. how odd it is that some are naturally gifted with this ability…

People tend to think of classics as being “boring,” but we wouldn’t keep reading them for hundreds of years if we didn’t love them. Let me introduce you to some FUN classics:

@VABVOX It's like an Agatha Christie whodunnit: A mysteriously ill princess who vanishes; a suspicious husband and his alleged mistress, the aptly named Marchioness of Cholmondeley; an exiled prince; an American actress.

To celebrate the last day of #AnnLowe October I'm going to talk about her most famous commission- Jacqueline Bouvier's wedding dress for when she married JF Kennedy in 1953. Lowe designed for Jackie before, when she made her and her sister's debutante dresses in 1947 (last pic)🧵

What I love about children's literature is that they can go to dark places, deal with difficult subjects, & yet end with hope. They can reach a child who feels that they are alone in the world & give them a story that makes them not only feel less so but that they can overcome.

I hope this weekend you can resist the terrible compulsion to be *productive.* I hope you find time to read and dance and create for their own sakes and not for any profit. I hope you have moments of being just overcome with joy by the weirdness and wonder of being.

This circa 1823 swatch book from Rouen, France, is a wealth of information regarding historical textiles. It contains more than 700 samples of printed cotton fabrics, ranging from plaids and stripes to vibrant florals and even some whimsical mushrooms! #OSVMuseumCollection

#FindsFriday WOW, c. 9,500 year-old woven baskets from a Spanish bat cave! 🤯 Look like they were made yesterday rather than by hunter-gatherers during the Mesolithic period! Recent analysis of the esparto grass used to make the baskets shows they’re about 2,000 years older…

Layering colours. Linen mordanted with oak gall and aluminium acetate. Yellow from bog myrtle to start and then indigo and iron dips. Indigo doesn’t react with mordants or iron but bog myrtle does. The inky indigos with oak gall + iron are a happy combo for me.

🧵 What people don’t understand is that the Duggar parents are not monsters. They are people who became harnessed by an ideology that was predicated on fear and control. Do not get me wrong- they have behaved monstrously. And Josh, specifically, is a monster. /1
