The painting titled Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi. The painting portrays the moment that Judith beheads Holofernes, mid act of sawing his head off with a sword. Judith grasps his hair as he lies face up on his bed and cuts the sword across to behead him while blood spurts out of his neck. Another woman helps hold him down as he attempts to resist.

Some guy on Twitter made a point of announcing that thousands upon thousands of men are descended from rapists, and we women "aren't going to like it when [they] stop asking nicely."

Which, you know, surprise surprise brother, but you're also not going to like it when we stop refusing nicely.

One day you’re 16 and crying about boys but then one day you’re 28 and making caramelized onion and goat cheese pasta for your wife in your apartment in Queens while you listen to jazz and your cat is walking through your legs and life is good

Y’all I’ve never been a) on a plane that long and b) on a flight with my knitting before ?!

So many things to be stressed about pre-fair that I didn’t even consider whether or not I can take my knitting with me to Bologna

I wish there was a punch card for eye doctors. Like every 5 visits one free. I’m there so often I should just move

Chappell Roan responds to former-record label executive Jeff Rabhan’s article criticizing her GRAMMYs speech:

“@/jeffrabhan wanna match me $25k to donate to struggling artists ? My publicist is @/biz3publicity let’s talk.”

My body doesn’t know the difference between Bologna scheduling and being hunted for sport

The jewelry designer confirms it’s T for Taylor (which we already knew because OBVIOUSLY)

Thinking about the endangered heritage crafts list and getting emotional

i hate these tech freaks so much. shut up about politics and go make me a little computer.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

NYU has been AMAZING to me for my diagnosis this past year actually, and the first doctors who never brought up my weight. A huge win honestly. Also 🫂🫂 hoping your testing etc goes okay!!!!

Remember when Pride.com published this banger of a statement after the NYT and CNN articles?

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

Guess we can call off the manhunt for the CEO assassin, vigilante killing is legal in NYC

What is it about the rain that makes my body feel like I’ve been run over by a truck 😭

Why didn't they just put the photos inside a glass case that only the manager can open

2024 mirror selfies 😂

2025 gonna be the year I go platinum on partiful

My favorite detail of that CEO shooting video is the witness that realizes what's happening and starts to run away, but can't run too fast because they're holding a coffee and don't want to spill it.

Libraries are absolutely the best places on earth.
