these super intricate papercutting i've been looking at are blowing my mind...new york, 1860s. details:

So apparently King's Cross Station announced they'd be doing nothing for "back to Hogwarts" Day in July and warned Harry Potter fans to not crowd the station, and announced it again a week ago, but nobody saw that so thousands of adult Harry Potter fans crowded a real ass train station real people use to board real trains and counted down for a celebration that never happened.

I highly recommend seeking out videos of it if you're some kind of petty person who thinks watching a large group of ardent adult Harry Potter stans being disappointed is funny (I am, I am that petty)

Ancient Jewish marble and prayer book from Bulgaria, from the Jewish historical museum at the Central Sofia Synagogue.

The history of Jews in Bulgarian lands dates back more than 2000 years. The largest part of the Bulgarian Jewish community before the 15th century belonged to the Hellenic (Romaniote) rite. In the center of Plovdiv, the remains of an ancient synagogue from the 3rd century, when the city was under the control of the severians, were recently found. Even the faith of the early Bulgarian Christians was a syncretistic mixture of Christian, Jewish, and pagan beliefs. The monks Cyril and Methodius consulted Jewish scholars in the preparation of their literary work. In the early 12th century Leo Mung, born a Jew and later a pupil of the 11th-century Bulgarian Talmudist Tobiah b. Eliezer, became archbishop of the diocese of Ochrida and Primate of Bulgaria. Tsar Ivan Alexander (1331-1371) married a Jewish girl named Sarah, who took the name Theodora at her baptizing.
