This beautiful seal bag, embroidered with the Royal Arms of England, was made in 1280 to protect the wax seal attached to a charter from the reign of Edward I. It's a fine example of 'opus anglicanum' - highly-prized English embroideries with gold and silver thread.

The Thinking Behind Michelle Obama’s White House Fashion Choices During her years in the White House β€” and since β€” people obsessed over her style. That was strategy.

Amen to this: "It’s easy to dismiss what we wear and how we look as frivolous. But that would brush aside a truth we all know: Our appearance sends messages, whether we intend it or not." www.thecut.com/article/behi...

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Most non-disabled, non-working people stay on SNAP for a few months at most. It's what prevents temporary hardships (illness, pregnancy, unemployment) from sliding into chronic poverty. Many of those who do stay on it for years are veterans or work full-time in minimum-wage jobs.

HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website.

Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

Groff: β€œI understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.”
