This, please.
Prayer for Uninteresting Times   Send me a slow news day, a quiet, subdued day, in which nothing much happens of note, save for the passing of time, the consumption of wine, and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote. Grant me a no news day, a spare-me-your-views day, in which nothing much happens at all, except a few hours together some regional weather, a day we can barely recall. Brian Bilston

How Waiting for Perfect Conditions Steals Today's Joy
We trap ourselves in an endless waiting room—postponing joy until the stars align, until we land that dream job, buy that perfect house, meet that ideal partner, or finally stick to the “right” diet.

When Shadows Lengthen in Wintertime, Let Your Inner Light Burn Brighter
When winter’s long shadows stretch across our mornings and swallow our afternoons whole, we find ourselves called to kindle something precious within—a quiet flame that no early sunset can extinguish.

Also remember to think about the unusual suspects. For example, chocolate houses like Mary’s Brigadeiro used these as did popular baklava spots like Baklava King and Crown. They are all part of the recall.

This month, skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere will have the opportunity to observe not one but two once-in-a-lifetime comets in the fall skies.

Here's how to watch.
Two Comets Are Moving Into Your Night Skies in October: How to Watch
The comets A6 (Lemmon) and R2 (SWAN) are visitors from the chilly fringes of our solar system, and could even be visible at the same time.

Mmmm red velvet and silk jersey make for a happy combination here. Late #1940s Mme Grès with a twist, in addition to her customary pleats, a chic sweep of velvet collar to frame some fabulous necklace #museumatfit #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Candy coloured and fresh, it almost looks like a Bridgerton-esque pastiche of a late #1770s gown but is in fact completely original. I am imagining the accessories that went with #museodeltraje #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

In a mad world, simple creative pleasures are golden. I still have many of the paper dolls I collected as a child and Clare Hunter writes about this amongst other things in her wonderful new book Making Matters. I love this late #1840s Jenny Lind set #cooperhewitt #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This makes a surprising amount of sense. A loose affiliation does not create collective identity or accountability.

“The Left” and “the Right” aren’t real.
They’re made-up clubs, invented and sold to the public by the people in power…
and by the loudest people with the most to gain.

Oh just some ole thing I slung on for an evening in front of the TV, is it a bit too much? Jacques Fath casually (but not really) draping some teal satin over one shoulder that drapes into a stole should a chill descend, mid #1950s @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
A long draped evening dress of teal satin. The fabric is gathered over one shoulder and falls into a swoop down the back and loops as a matching stole over the opposite arm. There are self coloured decorative buttons along the bodice

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.

It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?
