january 12: just ducky
In case you haven’t seen it: this battle of the museums is the most delightful thing I’ve read on Twitter in a long time. The Museum of English Country Life challenged the British Museum to “show us your best duck.” Museums around the world answered the call. Click through, unfurl all the responses, and settle in for some laughs.

Now I want to draw all these ducks! (Well, maybe not the “resting” ones…)

The museum twitter battles are the sole reason I have hope for humanity.
