We did think it was going to get darker but it was still very eerie.

We are looking at the Hall during the eclipse. There’s just a small fragment of light on one section of the timber frame.

Payoff of Love Story for me personally was the sight of all those Kennedys being carted around Cumberland in vintage Ford pickups

Really enjoyed chatting with @kellyfaircloth.bsky.social about all things dirtbag medievalism, and delighted that the article is out now at Nat Geo: www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

Why are we so obsessed with the medieval right now?

From burning castles to swords and magic and velvet gowns, medievalism has taken over 21st century pop culture.

Decided to reread Jurassic Park before the new movie comes out and I’m a little surprised a battered mass market paperback didn’t just appear out of thin air somewhere in my home

I’ve embarked on a Babylon 5 rewatch and 1) we’ve simply got to bring back aliens played by people in elaborate practical effects and 2) every outfit on this show absolutely rules

In 1626, a Cambridge fishwife sliced open a cod, only to find a gelatinous, half-dissolved manuscript inside. It was published the next year under the name "Vox Piscis or, the Bookfish." At this point, why not get your news from inside a dead fish? #earlymodern #bookfish archive.org/details/bim_...

One 1950 article, “Your Child’s Camp and Polio,” describes panicked parents receiving telegrams that campers had come down with the virus. The author narrates how his own 11-year-old suddenly returned home from camp after two of the boy’s teenaged counselors died. www.hnn.us/article/good...

The pages of 1950s lifestyle magazines offer a glimpse of a time when childhood vaccines were anything but controversial.

Visited the American Folk Art Museum today and can’t get over their exhibit on hand-painted board games

Hand-painted game board for 19th century New England “Travel Game” featuring castles and other destinations

Late 19th century fortune telling-game, comprised of a large grid of letters and numbers and a sheet of questions

Chessboard painted to look like checkerboard marble tiling in shades of light green and other colors.

Hand-painted 19th century Parcheesi boards with intricate realistic images at the center and geometric designs surrounding them

Listening to the John Wesley episode of In Our Time and absolutely delighted at how Melvyn sounds bewildered and slightly horrified that he went to “Georgia??!!”
