An oil painting titled 'Following Mum and Dad', depicting a lone figure at the end of a lane under grey skies and near-bare branches. The vegetal grown either side of the lane is umber and orange.

Tonight's goodnight image is 'Following Mum and Dad', Mark A. Pierce. Oil on canvas.

Unquestionably.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Easy, rape and DV services for transwomen only.

This extraordinary, striking Roman glass bowl is made with the millefiori (or thousand flowers) method. Its decoration looks to me like hundreds of little sea anemones or coral.

It dates to the 1st century AD.

Ours used to be the same, and I loved ushering as a vol. People went because of the great films and no eating/drinking noises or mess. Then covid. Reopened, the cinema used the excuse of "A survey" that people wanted food, so sold it (really: money) I stopped cos I didn't volunteer to clean!

You've obviously never been to the Vue Cinema in Cardiff!

A door with a pointed arch in a brick and stone tower, with trees to the right and a church window to the left.

Probably the finest door in England for #AdoorableThursday - the Saxon doorway of the Holy Trinity church in Colchester, constructed in the 11th century from recycled Roman bricks.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

"It was, I think, the first time I learned that to be female rather than male was not just to be different – boys like football, girls like drawing – but to be unsafe. I wonder, now, if that was when my rage began."
