Henri Matisse @henrimatisse.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Matisse hurriedly painted Dance (I) (1909) as a full-size trial to prove to industrialist Sergei Shchukin that his radical new commission would work. What reads today as a masterpiece at MoMA began as a bold visual pitch to reassure a rich patron.

Sometimes I'll get a little snack on the way home and then accidentally leave half of it in my car and then the next morning I'll get back in my car like 'hell yeah a little snack' and those are usually pretty good days actually

Lovely limestone plaque carved with the face of an owl! 🦉❤️ The solemn gaze from across the centuries gives an air of ancient wisdom! From Egypt, Late Period–Ptolemaic Period, 400–30 BC. Met Museum 📷 by me #OwlishMonday #Archaeology

My photo shows a small, roughly square-shaped piece of limestone carved to depict a frontal face of an owl. The owl has large, rounded eyes and a long, pointed beak highlighted with fine diagonal incised lines. The face is outlined by two symmetrical fan-like feather patterns with a raised border around the eyes, cheeks, and beak. Dimensions: Height 10.3 cm x Width 11.1 cm x Depth 2.5 cm This relief represents the ancient Egyptian owl hieroglyph 'm'. The limestone plaque is displayed in a glass case at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

I did the same thing years ago and started carrying a file in my purse everywhere. If I could keep nail polish on and keep any rough edges smooth I just didn’t nibble on them. Worked like a charm!

LGBTQ rights are human rights. It was true long before I was officiating same-sex marriages in San Francisco, and it will always be true. On National Coming Out Day, California celebrates the LGBTQ community and the resilience that defines you.

Black and white digital portrait of Sam Reid as Lestat. He has long blonde hair and he is yelling with an intense expression. He is wearing dark trousers and is bare-chested with visible scars on his chest. His left hand is gripping a microphone. A bright halo is behind his head. The background is dark and abstract, with vertical grid lines.

6:01 AM, the cottage bedroom: What with yesterday's woodswalk, the cooler weather and the reappearance of my lumberjack tops, I am feeling very October-esque. Today's very domestic plan involves stuffing an acorn squash with wild rice, garlic and walnuts, then roasting until delicious...

In September 1888 Van Gogh told Theo he wanted to paint men and women with that je ne sais quoi of the eternal. He symbolised this spiritual reality with halos of light and the vibrancy of his colours.

The people who screamed that children would be emotionally scarred by hearing a drag queen read “Jack and the Beanstalk” are OK with those same children watching Pete Hegseth’s livestream of a man getting his brains blown out by a bunch of guns.

The U.S. annual budget deficit just hit its highest level since COVID. The THIRD-LARGEST in American history. Almost $2 TRILLION in a year. The government spent 37% more than it collected. And somehow, this isn’t the biggest financial story in America right now.
