if you're in the throes of cosmic despair i cannot recommend museums enough. art or science or history it doesn't matter. oh we're all connected, all of us and everything, throughout all time and space, and no one, no one, no one is alone? awesome. that's what i thought i just wanted to make sure.
#museum#museums#how to work for a museum with a theater degree and no experience#i worked for a children's museum for a hot second but that doesn't count#except my badge gets me in to all the la museums for free Score

sadly the work does absolutely nothing for me but that one person who's unimaginably deep in the paint shipping ash ketchum's mom with jessie teamrocket is more powerful than almost anyone alive. like they are this post basically
do you understand
#museum replica#this one hurt to disable reblogs for the original so I'm glad I have this new method#esp because that same person is now working on her I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl project#with much the same incredible singleminded drive and energy#it's unreal to witness that kind of power

[Toon x Mobster] Sir toon and his loyal men.
This comes WAAYY way after Gavriel and Jack's relationship really takes off.
The other members were initially very against Gavriel and Jack's relationship, Gavriel Huffman included. However, Jack is eventually able to earn the respect of the other mobsters after proving himself able to protect both their boss [Gavriel] and the other members of their group, time and time again.
They swore to do him favors and other errands as a compensation for his benevolence. Jack himself didn't mean for this to happen, he just didn't want anyone to get hurt and his kind heart has won the group over in turn.

the true meaning of Christmas is telling museum guests about Snapdragon
what is Snapdragon? glad you asked
it's a Victorian Christmas game whereby you try to grab currants out of a bowl of flaming alcohol, with your bare hands
I'm told there's some Science wizardry whereby you don't actually burn yourself- most of the time -and videos I've seen of people playing it nowadays would seem to bear that out. but like...STILL
(It goes back to the 16th century, though this image is 1890s)
Merry Crisis and a Snappy New Year :)

The Great One
Far Frozen is not the only place with carvings of a half-ghost hero, and Danny has been inadvertently traveling between dimensions during his adventures, causing impacts both good and bad.
For one thing, carvings of his battles with Vlad are in Themyscira itself, assessed by an excited young Diana who wonders if such a being really existed, someone who relentlessly pursued evil and fought for justice. The young Amazon spent days admiring the murals, much to the dismay of her mother who was unsure if this happening was a good thing or not. In a way it was part of the reason she decided to leave her island later in life so maybe a mix of both.
Elsewhere, in Nanda Parbat, Ra reflects on murals of a creature bathed in shadows and ice, toxic green eyes that betray his connections to the afterlife and razor sharp fangs. A story for children who fear monsters under their bed, except that his family has proof that it existed, the Lazarus pits only served to confirm their theories. Ra thinks this is what the powerful deserves, immortality.
Even Arthur has found his castle walls filled with carvings of two creatures chasing each other, like day and night. There are tales of how they set the city ablaze in a single day, causing irreparable damage but not taking a single life despite their battles. Beings driven by emotion, persecution and intrigue, but without being benevolent or malevolent. A sample that any creature is imperfect, in a way he thinks it is poetic.
Everyone interprets these beings in their own way, creating their own legends from the anecdotes that were recorded by their ancestors. They never have the same title, no one decides on a name and no one seems to agree on whether these beings are benevolent or malevolent. Whether they are enemies, friends, rivals, or something else.
For some they are a moral lesson, for others a guide, in some cases they are considered righteous heroes, while in others they are the worst enemies of the living, the only sure thing is that they are recognized, one way or another.
Of course, this leads to disaster when Danny decides to explore the dimensions connected to the Infinite Realms.
#dpxdc#Danny is the reason Diana works in a museum too#Everyone is reacting to his presence#its like having a world of Frostbites#some are evil#now he's picturing an evil Frostbite because of some ninjas and that's a terrible mental image#dp x dc#dc x dp#Time in the Realms is different#Clockwork is definitely laughing because his barely adult king is freaking out#well at least Vlad is not there#unless#dp x dc prompt

âFragile Microbiomesâ by bio-artist Anna Dumitriu
1. SYPHILIS DRESS- This dress is embroidered with images of the corkscrew-shaped bacterium which causes the sexually transmitted disease syphilis. These embroideries are impregnated with the sterilised DNA of the Nichols strain of the bacterium - Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum - which Dumitriu extracted with her collaborators.
2. MICROBE MOUTH- The tooth at the centre of this necklace was grown in the lab using an extremophile bacterium which is part of the species called Serratia (Serratia N14) that can produce hydroxyapatite, the same substance that tooth enamel is made from.
The handmade porcelain teeth that make up this necklace have been coated with glazes derived from various bacterial species that live in our mouths and cause tooth decay and gum disease, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, which can introduce an iron-containing light brown stain to the glaze.
3. TEETH MARKS: THE MOST PROFOUND MYSTERY- In his 1845 essay âOn Artificial Teethâ, W.H. Mortimer described false teeth as âthe most profound mysteryâ because they were never discussed. Instead, people would hide the stigma of bad teeth and foul breath using fans.
This altered antique fan is made from animal bone and has been mended with gold wire, both materials historically used to construct false teeth (which would also sometimes incorporate human teeth). The silk of the fan and ribbon has been grown and patterned with two species of oral pathogens: Prevotella intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis. These bacteria cause gum disease and bad breath, and the latter has also recently been linked to Alzheimerâs disease.
4. PLAGUE DRESS- This 1665-style 'Plague Dress' is made from raw silk, hand-dyed with walnut husks in reference to the famous herbalist of the era Nicholas Culpeper, who recommended walnuts as a treatment for plague. It has been appliquéd with original 17th-century embroideries, impregnated with the DNA of Yersinia pestis bacteria (plague). The artist extracted this from killed bacteria in the laboratory of the National Collection of Type Cultures at the UK Health Security Agency.
The dress is stuffed and surrounded by lavender, which people carried during the Great Plague of London to cover the stench of infection and to prevent the disease, which was believed to be caused by 'bad air' or 'miasmas'. The silk of the dress references the Silk Road, a key vector for the spread of plague.
5. BACTERIAL BAPTISM- based on a vintage christening gown which has been altered by the artist to tell the story of research into how the microbiomes of babies develop, with a focus on the bacterium Clostridioides difficile, originally discovered by Hall and OâToole in 1935 and presented in their paper âIntestinal flora in new-born infantsâ. It was named Bacillus difficilis because it was difficult to grow, and in the 1970s it was recognised as causing conditions from mild antibiotic-associated diarrhoea to life-threatening intestinal inflammation. The embroidery silk is dyed using stains used in the study of the gut microbiome and the gown is decorated with hand-crocheted linen lace grown in lab with (sterilised) C. difficile biofilms. The piece also considers how new-borns become colonised by bacteria during birth in what has been described as âbacterial baptismâ.
6. ZENEXTON- Around 1570, Swiss physician and alchemist Theophrastus Paracelsus coined the term âZenextonâ, meaning an amulet worn around the neck to protect from the plague. Until then, amulets had a more general purpose of warding off (unspecified) disease, rather like the difference today between âbroad spectrumâ antibiotics and antibiotics informed by genomics approaches which target a specific organism.
Over the next century, several ideas were put forward as to what this amulet might contain: a paste made of powdered toads, sapphires that would turn black when they leeched the pestilence from the body, or menstrual blood. Bizarre improvements were later made: âof course, the toad should be finely powderedâ; âthe menstrual blood from a virginâ; âcollected on a full moonâ.
This very modern Zenexton has been 3D printed and offers the wearer something that genuinely protects: the recently developed vaccine against Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague.

Sir David Suchet on the gifts he received from Agatha Christie's Poirot tv series â Capital Theatres interview, January 12 2024
"I know how fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to play such an astonishing character over all these years, and to see him blossom so dramatically around me, to see his exploits dubbed into more than fifty languages and broadcast in almost every country in the world. It is amazing, humbling, and the greatest present that I could ever have been given." - David Suchet, Poirot and Me

cnetizens post souvenir they got at various chinese museums
these are all fridge stickers
#china#art#crafts#museums#souvenir#also#British Museum#just return artifacts from other cultures to their countries#I don't know how many times it's been said#I remember that they did not know how to preserve a very precious Chinese painting (looted and traded by illegal means during the war)#but actually cut the painting into four pieces#as a result of which the paper of the painting began to deteriorate#and they had to go to China to ask for help#and China sent an expert in cultural relics preservation to restore the painting#and they still refused to give back these works of art at this point#smh

"most allegedly haunted houses turn out to have gas leaks!"
no they don't. you are merely skimming the surface of mundane shit that can be wrong with old houses with your one puny little explanation that only fits a very small number of cases. try harder
#ghosts#hauntings#paranormal#like dude I'm a believer but I work in house museums and live in a place where 1930 is NEW for an apartment building#weird pressure differentials! animals trapped in the walls! bad window and door seals causing drafts! expanding and contracting wood!#to say NOTHING of the wiring Shenanigans. oh boy are they many.#GET CREATIVE WITH IT!
