Okay, now for a small, coruscating delight: face masks featuring centuries-old astronomical art and natural history illustrations. I originally made these just for myself and a handful of beloved humans, but they turned out so lovely I’m making them available to all: https://society6.com/brainpicker/collection/vintage-science-face-masks?curator=brainpicker The manufacturer (@society6) is donating a portion of their proceeds to World Central Kitchen (@wckitchen), helping to feed those most in need in times of crisis, and I’m donating to The Nature Conservancy (@nature_org), stewarding the long-term sustenance of this entire improbable, irreplaceable planet.
