Happy Thursday! It’s like Friday here, because (weather permitting) I’m NYC bound tonight. So this is a bonus links from others day!

From Julie: If you want fewer insect bites, wear stripey clothes. Or paint yourself with stripes, which works even better!

From Holly: Behold, the Gothicat. (Bonus video of Kittens of Mercy performing “This Purrosion” here!)

From Cassandra: “Party (and publish) like it’s 1923.”

Via Matt Staggs on Twitter: King Tut’s tomb is being restored to its full grandeur. 

Who were Sherlock Holmes’s contemporaries in Victorian mystery-solving? Some deserve to be rediscovered! 

Have a safe and spiffy few days, everyone! I’ll be back later next week.
