Welcome to the Spring Cleaning Edition!

Blossoms are blowing, baseballs are bouncing, and these links can't stay in my spare closet any longer. Maybe you have a windowsill or desk corner open for these bits and bobs?

- century-old textiles turned into new fashion
- paintings that people can't see
- photo archives that create collective memory
- writers intersecting with a museum
- seven miles vs. eggs
- a tweet that did not age well

I wish you "many cardinals singing from the foliage."
