Do you ever think about how many of the items now considered priceless artifacts were once commonplace items? The coins we now marvel at from behind the glass at a museum were once tossed around, stepped on, and traded around. The pottery painstakingly pieced back together was somebody’s favorite wine jug. The decorative pin now rusted and bent once held together the shoulder of someone’s chiton. History is simply a trail of ordinary people going about their day, and I think there’s an odd sort of beauty in that.

#but this is the exact reason I love historical objects so much

Happy 99th birthday to international treasure Betty White, born on January 17th, 1922 in Oak Park, Illinois. “What am I doing for my birthday?,” Betty asked when contacted by Entertainment Tonight last week. “Running a mile each morning has been curtailed by COVID, so I am working on getting The Pet Set (her 1970s animal themed TV series) re-released, and feeding the two ducks who come to visit me every day.” Gif of Betty from The Golden Girls episode entitled One for the Money, originally broadcast by NBC on September 26th, 1987.
