History - Malczewski's Butter Lambs
The Malczewski Butter Lamb is more than just butter shaped into a lamb. It has religious meaning and history dating back to the Middle Ages!
Easter is coming, which means it's time for my brain to go "nanananananananananananana BUTTER LAMB" on repeat for the next two weeks.
(I am not making this up. Okay, usually people don't sing cartoon theme songs about them, but: buffalobutterlambs.com/history/)

Apparently there was a Severance season finale? I feel like I've wandered into a party where I don't know any of the very friendly drunk people, and I'm just there with some chips and 0 clues going "No, no, I get it, Helly's been through so much.

Augusta Holmรจs was a French composer and poet from an Irish family. She wrote all of the texts for her work, including librettos for her four operas. She was deeply inspired by Wagner, and I'd be surprised if his nationalism didn't influence her symphonic poems Irlande and Pologne.
