Chawton House Library, Chawton, Hampshire. The house was the home of Jane Austen’s brother, Edward Austen Knight. The library contains the private collection of the Knight family, which was used by Austen, and a collection of early women’s writing (1600-1830), including works by Aphra Behn, Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, and Mary Wollstonecraft. The manuscript in the picture is of Jane Austen’s play Sir Charles Grandison (c. 1800), which parodied the Samuel Richardson novel. The library’s website provides access to a large number of full-text transcripts of rare late 18th-early 19th century novels.

Modeled in the same composition as the famous dancing faun, this sculpture is made to be a juggler in a particularly crucial moment of an acrobatic trick.

The artist may also have had the Gemran word kunststückemachen in mind, which means both to juggle, and more literally, to make a work of art.

A play on words to describe this playful bronze.

If the Gilbert, Arizona, school board does decide to go ahead with a stealth plan to start ripping the pages out of science textbooks… I think we’ve got it covered. High school kids of Arizona, if they do steal the stuff out of your books, ArizonaHonorsBiology.com is where you can get it again. Arizona may be conservative, but Arizona, you are still part of the United States, and you can’t pretend some parts of biology don’t exist because they make you feel oogy. You can try, but you cannot get away with it.
