This account is anonymous so I can vent about political fears and frustrations without worrying what people will think, but then I keep bumping into my actual friends on here and I am like "wait! hey! I KNOW YOU" and they all think I'm insane 😂😭 But seriously, I'm a medieval art person, for real

Just a friendly medieval elephant to brighten your day 🏰🐘⚔️✨

An illustration of a friendly elephant carrying three soldiers from an English Bestiary, made ca. 1250-1260 and now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Posting to say I'm not a bot -- I'm a married mom of three working for a great arts nonprofit on the East Coast. I try to be nonpartisan, but I believe in democracy and civil rights, making me a reliable Democratic voter. I don't plan to post much here; I joined to follow the journalists I admire.

A tapestry fragment at the Met Cloisters (inventory number 1990.211) showing a fantastical beast (perhaps a mix between a lion and a dragon) being led in front of green foliage with blue flowers.
