Mysterious rock depicted in 15th-century painting is most likely a Stone Age tool
  • If I dust off the old Art History learnings, the Madonna would have been painted in a way that appeared other-worldly so as to separate her from what any mere mortal would identify as human. Said differently, Mary’s boobs have to be painted in a way that don’t look like human boobs so humans 1) don’t get lusty in church and 2) retain their awe of the story and its characters and thus maintain the Christian power structure.

  • Post Error: Language setting

    This is a new error message this morning when I tried to reply to a post (to an excellent long form dad joke, lol). I tried setting my language at Lemmy.world but got a warning that deselecting “undetermined” would mean that I can’t see “most content.” Which is weird because nothing in that pick list was selected in the first place and I haven’t yet had a problem posting/replying. This mobile app is stellar, by the way. :)
