“[Imagine] eight blissful years of married life, then many decades of widowhood and careful tending of your husband’s legacy, only to re-encounter him as a stranger in the 1,131 passionate love letters he wrote to someone else?” [The TLS]
Spiralbound link (Spiralbound is the Medium comics site I run, so I am biased, but I love these stories): “I remember myself as being single, but actually I was just in a relationships where I felt alone.”
“Why bury her without her name but with reference to an illicit relationship with Dr. Clements?” My friend Terrilyn McCormick is trying to solve a cemetery mystery around a tombstone that reads only “Lady Friend of Dr. Clements, 1856,” and she’s chronicling it (and asking for help/ideas/clues) in a newsletter.
“To my eyes, it looks like glitch art, even though it was made in the seventeenth century.” Cool images from a post called “These Bizarre Ivory Cups Were Carved By Princes.” [JSTOR]
“I have this picture from a biology textbook saved because it always makes me happy when I see it no matter how bad I feel.” [Twitter/@spookperson] Worked for me.
