1. A whole gallery of cursed gems. Man, I secretly want to own a cursed gem. Like the one that’s cool for girls to wear.
2.
This is really cool and so many of the women look like my dear friend, B., that it’s kind of disconcerting, but hot damn, that’s a lot of white women.
3. Composite sketches of literary characters. I’m disconcerted to see how much Humbert Humbert looks like Jim Carrey. Oh, but you know! He does drama well and he does kind of inhabit that space between creepy and charming. Maybe he would be an excellent casting choice.
4. I would have always thought this was cool. Lord knows, it has meant so much to me to find evidence of my ancestors. But after trying to help Sam research his family and having to confront just what an enormous clusterfuck researching your family if they were enslaved is, I feel like this isn’t just a cool website, but a real gift to a lot of people.
