Oh my god I forgot all about Mallory Ortberg’s interpretations of monk paintings! I used to love these.
Unrelated but she once wrote something like “everyone knows that to properly make a bed, you need to circle it like a shark” and the truth of that has stuck with me ever since. Why is my brain like this haha
Reminded me of this old gem, original source sadly lost to the sands of the web.
