In this abbey in France, nuns have been restoring old books for over 70 years. The Benedictine sisters of Maumont Abbey run a full workshop and their craft is bookbinding, gilding and restoration. Centuries-old books arrive damaged, torn and crumbling, and they restore them all by hand to last another hundred years.

Have you ever heard a sandhill crane bugle? A coiled windpipe turns its call into a trumpet you can hear miles away.

The way an antisemitic heckler walks out of this Jewish comedian's show when he challenges her is the whole Free Palestine movement in a nutshell. She didn't care about defending Palestinians. She tried to make a Jew feel ashamed for existing, and when it didn't work, she just left. Good riddance.

Did you know the Colosseum was once considered a sacred site by the Church, a consecrated space for centuries? And this little 1675 mural of Jerusalem was painted for the Jubilee that celebrated that moment.

My mom recently said her old boss from work asked for my address, because he wanted to send me something. I thought that was weird, but he was a nice guy. My mom retired ages ago, as did her old boss. Today I got a package in the mail from him. He read in my last monthly email newsletter that I was getting into fountain pens, and he wanted to send his collection to a new enthusiast. I’m dumbfounded. What a TREASURE! There are 3 vintage watermans in here!

One pretty cool geological fun fact is that the Appalachian Mountains, the Atlas Mountains, the Scottish Highlands, the Watkins Range and Scandinavian Mountains were all once part of the same mountain range, the Central Pangean Mountains.
