If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.

We see your tiny Hedge Hog (so precious) and we raise you... miniature Galileo!

To keep fragile or small items protected, some of our material is stored in boxes like these. This tiny ‘Book of Nouns’ from 1800 may seem normal size on the shelf, but in reality it’s only 6cm tall! [C.C. 423 BOO]

Lots of leaders of colleges and other key institutions are staying silent, either out of fear or a misguided view of "neutrality." But not Michael Roth. wapo.st/4k1ueQt

Important information

If I had a nickel for every time that I found out I had a new half-sibling online, I'd have a few nickels- which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened SIX SEPARATE TIMES 💀

Happy Valentine's Day! 💞 To celebrate, I'm sharing this Ostrich couple, feeding late afternoon in the plains of South Africa's Cape Point Nature Reserve. To be close to these wonderful animals, to hear them walk & eat, was a true privilege! #photography #birds #valentinesday #valentine #nature

So long to this statue of F. Scott Fitzgerald which someone stole, and then cut into pieces to sell for scrap. Be better people.

Choose 20 pots or ceramic pieces that you have made. One pot per day for 20 days, in no particular order. I’m starting out with a blast from the past! I can’t believe this piece is 18 years old. “Toothy Beast movement study”, 2007 10 woodfired beasts of mixed porcelain each 4.5" x 2.5" x 3 to 4"

This is harrowing and horrifying.

Asking people if they wanna see a cool rock you found is so important, because that’s the best way to know if you should invite them into your blanket fort to look at the Guinness book of world records

This little bird survived a volcanic eruption! Buried by volcanic ash from Vesuvius in AD 79, this Roman fresco of a little bird pecking at fruit re-emerged looking as delightful as it did some 2,000 years ago! Villa Poppaea, Oplontis, Italy 📷 by me 2023 #Archaeology

Hey #Minneapolis here's a useful, little known ordinance that could come in handy during this snow emergency. If your vehicle is hooked up to a tow truck and you catch them before it's left the block, they are legally obligated to release the car for $15. You'll still have a ticket but no impound!
