CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

I love this bandage from c.1900 featuring illustrations on how to wrap wounds resulting from accidents involving a soldier, a sailor, a miner, and a woman whose clothes have caught fire. This amazing object is part of the Wellcome Collection in London.

A white bandage featuring sketches of how to bandage various wounds.

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s.

We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again.

Pass it along…

This is the kind of content I’m after.

A photo showing an elaborate carriage with a caption that says “horse-drawn bus from the 1890s” and someone saying there’s no way a horse drew this

Next time you visit York, take note of this carving of a plague doctor outside York Minster Cathedral. It was recently carved out of magnesian limestone to replace figures eroded by time, as part of the ongoing restoration of the East Front. I love this little fellow.

A carving of a plague doctor wearing a beaked mask, long robe, gloves, and a brimmed hat. He's also holding a pole, and he has a little satchel.

This is fucking GREAT news!

Did you know if you swear a lot you're probably more honest and trustworthy than people who don't. Researchers have found that if you use unfiltered speech in the form of curse words you're more comfortable expressing your unfiltered thoughts and feelings too. You're also more likely to have a higher verbal intelligence.

Heart-shaped pendant with a lock of hair from Marie Antoinette. If this is her hair, it must have been presented before the abortive flight to Varennes in 1791, when Marie's hair allegedly went white overnight.

Is it possible for a person’s hair to go white overnight? 1/2

A heart-shaped pendant with a lock of blonde hair inside. The hair is braided at the end. There is also a padlock at the bottom of the pendant and a gold chain at the top. At the bottom of the chain is a small key.
