Like many tourists, my sister and I rented kimonos for the day in Kyoto. My sister is a photographer, and we spent the afternoon taking photos in the park. Unfortunately, it was raining the entire day. Cold, too, but all those layers keep you warm! I've never worn a kimono before, and I wanted to experience the process of being dressed in one, and see how it felt to wear it (It's heavy!). The kimonos were gorgeous, too!

I've been reading Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad and I'm about to make it everyone's problem.

Not enough people appreciate that Athena pulls Achilles hair to stop him from attacking Agamemnon. I'd like to think, had they been invented, she would have used a spray bottle.

Also, I know that my illustration of the Athena and Achilles scene is more generically classically inspired, and the Aphrodite and Helen illustration uses Bronze Age aesthetics. They're not meant to exist sequentially, I'm just vibin'.

As spring arrives, the thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) have emerged from hibernation at the Visitor Center near Onalaska, Wisconsin. Their stripes help them hide from northern harriers, their top predator on the prairie! Photo credit: Daniel Arndt
