For decades, music floated across the Potomac from a barge beneath the Watergate steps. When the concerts ended, their spirit endured nearby in the Kennedy Center, where Washington built a permanent home for the arts beside the river that first carried the sound.

Happy weekend! 🦛 ❤️ Two ancient Egyptian blue faience hippos made by artisans some 3,800 years ago! Neues Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows two blue-green Egyptian faience hippopotamus figurines displayed on a white museum surface at the Neues Museum in Berlin. The larger hippo on the right sits upright on its haunches with short front legs planted forward, head turned to the left with mouth open, as if smiling. It is 9 cm in length. The smaller hippo on the left lies in a reclining or resting pose, with body close to the ground. It measures 4.8cm in length. Both are decorated with black lotus flower and aquatic river plant motifs. The museum display makes them appear like a mother and her baby hippo! 🥰

Egyptian blue faience is a ceramic material made of ground quartz. The decoration depicts Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers found in their marsh habitat. In ancient Egypt lotus flowers were associated with regeneration as they open in the morning and close at night, symbolising rebirth. Whilst ancient Egyptians were well aware of the danger and destructive power of hippos, they were also seen as an animal with revitalizing power. An animal from the fertile mud of the Nile, fiercely protective of their young, hippos embodied divine powers guaranteeing rebirth. Blue faience hippos have been found in Middle Kingdom tombs of high ranking officials. It's thought they were placed in the tombs to aid the rebirth of the deceased.

Dogs life is short when compared to humans' Their intelligence is often compared to that of a 2 to 2.5-year-old human toddler So, they ultimately remain like children for all their life. That's very likely why humans are so fond of them and viceversa. Original post

Vincent van Gogh "Wheatfield with Cypresses" (September 1889) Oil on canvas | 72.1 × 90.9 cm. (28.4 × 35.8 in). National Gallery, London. #ArtSky #VanGogh

"Wheat Field with Cypresses" (1889) by the Dutch Post-Impressionist master Vincent van Gogh.
The artwork is celebrated for its thick, rhythmic brushstrokes (impasto) that bring the swirling clouds, golden wheat field, and windswept trees to life with vibrant movement.
Van Gogh painted this landscape during his stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole mental asylum in Saint-Rémy, France. Inspired by the scenery just outside his window, he considered the towering, dark green cypress trees to be a signature element of the southern French landscape.

Susan La Flesche Picotte: the first #NativeAmerican woman to earn a medical degree in the US. Living in an era when Native Americans were denied citizenship & women couldn't vote, she became an indispensable physician & fierce defender of her people's sovereignty. Died #OTD in 1915. #WomenInSTEM 🧵

A black-and-white studio portrait of Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte (1865–1915), the historic reformer celebrated as the first Native American woman to earn a medical degree in the United States. In a bust-up composition against a dark, textured backdrop, she is positioned slightly turned to the side while facing the camera directly. She looks forward with an intelligent, steady, and composed expression, her dark hair neatly swept up away from her face into a soft bun. She wears a Victorian-era garment featuring a high-necked collar made of a contrasting, intricately patterned light fabric with fine floral or geometric motifs. This collared section is framed by a square, dark lace trim on her darker, structured bodice, which has modest pleating and slight puffing at the shoulders. The soft studio lighting emphasizes her prominent cheekbones and the calm, dignified mood of the portrait, embodying her historic legacy as an enduring pioneer of Indigenous health and civil rights.
