If you’re wondering, it was Donatello’s Penitent Magdalen that did it for me today. Spent a solid 45 minutes coming back to look at it and intermittently crying. A docent asked if I was okay.

Gonna be real with y’all, I did NOT have “Colin Jost reads my name out loud on Pop Culture Jeopardy” on my 2025 bingo card
A blue Jeopardy clue reading “Cates Holderness posted to thus pop media company’s site asking for the color of a dress & the rest was (briefly) history”
