Details from Arthur Rackham’s illustration "And now they never meet in grove or green," (1908) from A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare

Is it getting hot here, or is it just these trading cards from 1889? They're just six from a set of 51 images of the "Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans" series from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection on JSTOR, which includes nearly half a million open access images for everyone.

Buster Keaton is such a baseball fan that he has his own [prayer/ritual?]. Here he is seen, professionally, throwing the ball during one of the games.

the funniest thing about having a cool car is that middle-aged men will just come up and talk to you in parking lots but in a way where you feel completely safe. the most i have ever felt perceived as an equal human by strange men interacting with me unprompted. they are blinded by the car and i am no longer "woman" i am just "owner of this cool shiny car which i must compliment"

For #WombatWednesday:

Postcard - Common or Naked-nosed Wombat, Vombatus hirsutus (Perry), illustration by George Browning, c.1950 W 133 x H 89 mm Museums Victoria HT 31117

"One of a series of postcards released by The National Museum of Victoria following the publication of 'The Mammals of Victoria' by Charles Walter Brazenor, Curator of Mammals in 1950. This image of the Common or Naked-nosed Wombat featured on page 45 of the book. The illustrations are by George Browning whom worked as a staff art officer at various times. Browning is perhaps best known for his work on Dioramas both at the National Museum of Victoria and at the War Memorial in Canberra. The postcards feature native Victorian Mammals but have no detailed information about each species, perhaps as a teaser for visitors to buy the publication. The series was sold in an accompanying envelope as a sourvenir token sold in the Museum shop. This was probably a particularly short run series as it has not been seen other than this set."
