Established in 1998, the Harvard Museum of Natural History is the representative “face” for three research museums: the Harvard University Herbaria, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and the Mineralogical & Geological Museum. The museum’s mission is to “enhance public understanding and appreciation of the natural world and the human place in it.” One of the most prominent displays in the Harvard Museum is the glass flowers collection. @noelleberexa Even in person they look so real I would never have guessed they’re GLASS #art #harvard #glassflowers #boston #museum ♬ The flower garden – ଘ (੭ˊ ꒳ ˋ) ੭✧* ੈ✩‧₊˚ Harvard commissioned the Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models in the 1800s as part of a teaching initiative. At the time, there were no models of plants, which made teaching botany challenging. The innovative glass flowers created by Czech artists Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolf are so precise that they appear real. The father-son team worked from 1886 through 1936, producing 4,300 models representing 780 plant species. In 2016, the exhibit received improvements to update display cases, climate control systems, and lighting. Images from Wikimedia Commons here and here. The facility offers guided tours, led by Collection Manager Jenny Brown, who tells the fascinating history of the glass flowers. The museum limits each tour group to thirty people, and it is first come, first served. Contact the museum to make better arrangements if you have a larger group or a school field trip. The Harvard Admissions Office uses a YouTube video to introduce the glass flowers collection. It is a fascinating way to spend the next four and a half minutes. Although not nearly as detailed, the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, erects a glass Christmas tree yearly. The tree is a community project using recycled glass that is recycled after the holiday. The Harvard Natural History Museum Glass Flower collection should be on your bucket list. Please share.

Sesa Graham is an internet influencer, a sometime model, and a fun Detroiter living life to its fullest. Sesa recently got a new kitten and has decided to harness-train the little beast. You are already laughing if you have any experience with cats and harnesses. You know what is coming. Sesa had no preparation for the resulting kitten drama. @sesagraham he’ll get there #leashtraining #cattok #cat #catsoftiktok #orangecat #catfails #boycat #funnypets ♬ Funny – Gold-Tiger The first problem is that she selected an orange tabby. They are notoriously mischievous. There are wives’ tales that all orange tabbies share one brain cell, and it takes a while to make the circuit. Since her kitten is only six weeks old, it probably isn’t on the list yet because the minimum age for sharing a brain cell is eight weeks. The second problem is that the harness Sesa selected might weigh as much as her tiny kitten. She puts the harness on, fastens it, and stands the little kitten up. The confused little guy stands there momentarily before looking directly at the camera. His expression is pure bewilderment. And then comes the kitten drama. Image from TikTok. After standing stiff as a board, the animal tumbled to its left in the best imitation of a fainting goat you will ever see. The little kitten went from standing to rolling completely over in one not-so-smooth flump. Sesa also has an older calico cat. We didn’t see any videos showing harness training for the older cat, so we’re guessing this is new for Sesa and the tiny drama kitten. Some cats never get accustomed to harness training. Other cats, like Simon, love wearing a harness and become adventure cats. To follow Sesa and monitor the future progress of harness training, you can find her on TikTok. Please share.

MSNBC host and PBS pundit Jonathan Capehart has a new memoir out. It's titled Yet Here I Am: Lessons from a Black Man’s Search for Home. It sounds like the first lesson is this: a “Black Man” gets to dictate history and no one is allowed to offer a “reality check” or else they’re “robbing his humanity.” Capehart is still a Washington Post columnist, but he reveals in his terribly troubled tome that he quit the Post editorial board in 2023 over his colleague Karen Tumulty arguing it was “hyperbolic” for President Biden to describe the Republicans passing Georgia’s election reform law as “Jim Crow 2.0.” When he read this H-word in the Post, “I was a tornado of emotions, eye-popping rage, and disbelief. I couldn’t stay.” Beware the tornado of rage when Republicans aren’t comparable to the ardent Democrats who were the Ku Klux Klan. Georgia shattered records in 2022 for the percentage of registered voters who participated in a midterm election – 82 percent – and 54 percent of black Georgians voted. “How could it be voter suppression if all these people are coming out to vote?” Tumulty said “with a tone of amazement” in a meeting. She dared to speak these words to Capehart: “I have a rule. No one should be called a Nazi unless they were an actual Nazi. So for President Biden to call the Georgia voter law ‘Jim Crow 2.0,’ that’s an insult to people who lived through Jim Crow.” It’s not just an “insult” to the victims of segregation. It’s a lie that smears people who never segregated anyone. The “fact checkers” wouldn’t check Biden or anyone else preposterously positing “Jim Crow 2.0,” even after the myth of “voter suppression” crumbled into dust. But Capehart was frantic in his delusion. “I sat frozen, gripping the armrests of my chair as I stared at her in disbelief. With that one comment, Tumulty took an incident where I felt ignored and compounded the insult by robbing me of my humanity,” he recounted. “She either couldn’t or wouldn’t see that I was Black, that I came to the conversation with knowledge and history she could never have, that my worldview, albeit it different from hers, was equally valid.” This is the state of journalism on the Left. They claim to love the “truth,” to be the arbiters of “facts,” but often emotion cancels facts. When you’re black, vicious lies about Republicans being “Jim Crow 2.0” are “equally valid” because of “history” or “lived experience.”   Someone inside this liberal bubble dared to suggest Jim Crow was an invalid reference, and for Capehart, that was making race relations worse! “My mind reeled with what had just happened. In a time when people, especially white people, are so careful not to make racial situations worse, Tumulty seemed to have done just that.” Semafor.com reported that Capehart’s tornado-of-rage story has been “the subject of internal recriminations at the Post in recent days,” because Post staffers are supposed to avoid “publicly disclosing internal editorial conversations.” Always laugh at the hypocritical journalists who insist on keeping their own testy deliberations secret. Tumulty marshaled the facts, and Capehart fiercely advocated for divisive lies. Accusing people of being segregationists is just about the most damaging thing you can say about people today. Feel free to laugh at the dust-cover blurbs for this man’s book, like Henry Louis Gates describing it as “a story of curiosity meeting excellence. His seeking nature, for truth and understanding.” Truth isn’t Capehart’s mission. Sometimes, truth causes him to clutch his armrests and boil over like an overheated gumbo. 

The owner of a historic ice cream store in Jackson, Mississippi, says he was bewildered after finding gruesome animal body parts in a freezer at his business. The Jackson County Animal Shelter and Animal Control are investigating the bizarre animal parts found in the back garage of The Parlour ice cream shop on Sunday. 'I don’t know what she was using it for, whether it was taxidermy purposes, I don’t know.' Scott Pienta, the store's owner, told MLive that his son and the shop's general manager were tipped off about something in the freezer, which was reportedly left behind by the previous owner. When they opened the freezer, they found about five dead adult dogs, six dead puppies, and bags with the severed animal ears. Pienta said he had taken over the business in March and had since told the previous owner to remove the freezer along with other items in the garage, but the owner did not comply. “My frustration has been growing, and now it reached its limit,” he said. Officers from the Jackson County Animal Control collected the animal body parts after Pienta instructed his general manager to call authorities. Jackson County Animal Shelter Director Lydia Sattler said they would release more details after they get further along in their investigation. “I don’t know what she was using it for, whether it was taxidermy purposes, I don’t know,” Pienta continued. “The frustration is for her not to get these things and leave these animals at my place of business knowing they were in there.” RELATED: 13 pit bulls euthanized after gruesome death of dog breeder in Compton Photo by Igor Golovniov/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images He went on to say that he planned to renovate the shop and bring it to its former glory. Pienta also said that the community has been showing up to let him know he has their support. "All the people that have been coming in this morning, everyone has been coming in with support," he told WILX-TV. MLive said the previous owner did not respond to a request for comment. Scenes from the ice cream parlor can be viewed on the news report from WILX on YouTube. The Parlour was first established nearly 100 years ago and is a favorite place to visit in Jackson, according to local accounts. Like Blaze News?
