My Childhood Hebrew Skills Just Came Out in the Most Surprising Place – Kveller
Last weekend, my husband and I took our newly-bipedal toddler to his first aquarium. It was only a small, one-room “Aquatic Discovery Center,” part of a larger children’s park, the perfect size for him to safely toddle around and then excavate a whale-sized trench in a sandbox afterwards. A Pisces, our son has been one with the water since his second bath (we don’t talk about his first).

We know it would be filled with women—relatives and neighbors—and well provisioned with linens, medicines, and various foods and drinks for the mother and her gossips.
Picturing Pregnancy in Early Modern Europe
When the womb began to appear in printed images during the 16th century, it was understood through analogy: a garden, uroscopy flask, or microcosm of the universe. Rebecca Whiteley explores early modern birth figures, which picture the foetus in utero, and discovers an iconic form imbued with multiple kinds of knowledge: from midwifery know-how to alchemical secrets, astrological systems to new anatomical findings.
