When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I have made CHEESE BOYS
A photo of a sculpture made of colored Sculpey Clay. The sculpture is based on the Richard Scarry drawing of 6 mice riding in a car made out of a triangle block of yellow Swiss cheese. The little happy mice poke their heads out of the holes in the cheese. It's really cute imo, he popped off when he drew this one. The entire sculpture is about three inches long and fits in the artist's hand. Another angle of the same sculpture.Another angle of the same sculpture.The original drawing by Richard Scarry. It has words under it that read "Have you ever seen a cheese car on the highway?" No Richard, I haven't, but I would cry from joy if I did.
