Jealous of all my #antiquesroadshow friends who get a second episode with the holy Toledo lady. Enjoy your good fortune!

I agree. So often Indigenous pieces go up in value. And while I admit a lot of Plains work isn’t my aesthetic, that bag was banging. (Baggin?)

I said I’d wear the hell out of it before he turned it over. I stopped breathing after.

I am actually really surprised because they are the sort of folk art I associate with the early 90s decor movement. Do you have insight?

You know I can generally appreciate a folk art pice but for these Schimmel carvings I’ll make an exception…. #antiquesroadshow

Relatedly: we know that brown goes down but I’d love to hear more rationale behind some of the changes!

Today I learned (TIL): Siberian amethysts are a thing. #antiquesroadshow

Do we think maybe the value went down because the “best” amethysts are Russian?

So a game @mjteacup.bsky.social and I play is who gets what pieces on #antiquesroadshow. She loves purple and I love yellow gold so we are at an impasse 🤣

A gaming table? But there’s no where near enough room for dice, character sheets, manuals, and, most important, pizza and sodas!

Okay I thought perhaps I’d left behind my obsession with Asian decor in 2005. This chair is proving me SUPER WRONG. #antiquesroadshow

I was fascinated by the way the watch was set IN the emerald.

Sara JHN @mssarajean.bsky.social · 1d

Sorry the fact that those are individual topazes is more surprising that there is a watch in it. #antiquesroadshow

Walked in the door, spouse queued it up for me, and the first thing out of my mouth was “hi Noel!”

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 14d

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," the pope explained.
"Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro life."

I’d like to learn more about the brown inclusions in the jade on that imperial bowl but I guess it didn’t negatively impact the price… #antiquesroadshow
