“I’ve found that saying ‘no’ has actually been my biggest tool in business, training, life, and relationships. I’m pretty direct. I’ll just be like, ‘Nope,’ with a period or an exclamation point. It’s a complete sentence in texts and emails.” The excellent Robin Arzón in conversation with the excellent Charlotte Cowles, on The Cut: “How I Get It Done.” (Also, Robin just had her baby!)
The gem of the month is aquamarine, and I continue to love the At Present birthstone series: “The Romans believed [aquamarine] absorbed the early energy of young love and recommended it be worn throughout the years of marriage, so that even as you aged, the ardor of youth would remain. Swoon.”

Thank you for sharing the interactive version of The Garden of Earthly Delights! Just happen to be working on a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle of this triptych right now, and there is literally no such thing as too much detail.
i had this amazing art history professor in college - if he was teaching the class, i wanted to take it. i ended up accidentally just shy of an art history minor, even. he had a thick indian accent and got super hyped about two things: seinfeld (especially the episode "little kicks" with elaine dancing) and that garden of earthly delights painting. that thing amazed, baffled, and cracked us all up. WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT IT? THERE'S A MAN, POOPING COINS! i distinctly remember him exclaiming, practically jumping up and down. fond memories.
