It’s not the first time I’ve put a picture of Mr. Darcy on this blog. It’s not the last time, either.

History

• An interview with the author of Among the Janeites: A Journey Through the World of Jane Austen Fandom. There’s a reference to roller derby.
• The history of people having sexy times with statues. I want to go on that museum tour!
• One of only two known New York City Underground Railroad stops is in the middle of a battle between preservation and profit.
• Take a peep at the first sex manual published in North America.

Science

• Henrietta Lack’s family is finally asked for consent in regards to research using her famous cells.

Museums

• It’s far too easy to lose three hours of your day exploring Heritage Daily. All the archaeology, paleontology, anthropology, and heritage news a person could want!
• Tired of the anxiety that comes with trying to publish professionally? Never fear! Just sent your work to the Journal of Universal Rejection.
• An exploration of the similarities between museum exhibits, Mad Men, and the role of the spaces that exist between information.

Awesome

• When Bjork met Attenborough. I can’t decide which of them I want to be best friends with more.*

*That’s not true. Of course it’s Attenborough. And on that note: F*ck Yeah, David Attenborough.
