Today is the 100th anniversary of artist Mary Cassatt’s death. She died on June 14, 1926, at the age of 82 in her adopted country of France. She was born in Pennsylvania to a well-to-do family in 1844. Although she never had children, Cassatt is beloved for her tender paintings of mothers and children. I first fell in love with her work when I saw a copy of “Little Girl in a Blue Armchair” as a child. One of my projects in high school art class was copying her Japanese prints!

The Committee of Five—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman—was appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago today. Jefferson's draft of the document is here at the Library, and will be featured in a new exhibition opening July 3.

ICYMI, we recently announced the birth of this rare Przewalski’s horse foal. Przewalski’s horses are the only truly wild horses left in the world. (1/5)

This is what the child version of the only remaining wild horse species looks like, if you even care.

Current status: Brain is soup sloshing around in skull, face is numb-ish and tingly, and hands aren't precisely obeying my orders. I get the weirdest assortment of symptoms.

Migraines are so wild, man. In the last 24 hours, I saw a person who wasn't there, woke myself up doing breathing exercises in my sleep to relieve the pain, had a stomachache so intense I nearly passed out, and felt like I was on a rocking boat. How do brains even do it?

I find it funny that my subconscious knows what to do with pain before I even wake up. I don't talk in my sleep but I can "hee hoo, hee hoo".

I love when a grassy field is dotted with dandelions or buttercups like golden stars in a green firmament.

Illustration titled "Backyard Sounds" featuring a Cardinal, Goldfinch, Blue Jay, Mourning Dove, and Red-bellied woodpecker. Various, very subjective interpretations of bird calls form an abstract timeline composed of simple color shapes and loops.

One of my favorites from C.S. Lewis
If the Divine call does not make us better, it will make us very much worse. Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst. Of all created beings the wickedest is one who originally stood in the immediate presence of God.
