Most of that list is cooler than David Bowie. #sorrynotsorry

Anthony Hopkins was knighted and then went on to become a US Citizen. Like he took the test and everything. But everybody still calls him Sir Tony.

I’ll admit I chuckled at the meme, but there are just some things I’m really nerdy about and historical fashion and historically dying childbirth happen to be two of them. As somebody who did lots of Victorian studies in college, everyone seems to assume the olden times 100-200 years ago. The further we move in time…

I was responding to childbirth specifically. Because that’s what the meme said. There are plenty of things to die from related to pregnancy. Based on the evidence in writing, it is believed my my favorite author, Charlotte Bronte died from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. So she didn’t die from childbirth but she died while…

Yes women were dying in childbirth but the number jump dramatically after it went medical. No women weren’t scrubbing down but before it was medical, midwivies weren’t in urban environments going house to house. Urban environments brought a whole extra levels of filth.

Okay but I was addressing the photo above which clearly shows the west.

Again I’d totally buy a shirt with Socks on it. I was so fucking into that cat as kid.

May I correct this before this also spreads wrong science? The artwork doesn’t match the facts. The fashion those ladies are wearing date from the 1600s. The text saying 100-200 years ago would make it the 1818-1918 meaning the fashion would be different.

Urban Decay.

He was totally in those bushes:

I hate to say it but I like to think if Instagram was around back in the day Socks would have had one and I would have followed the shit out of it.

I think you’re wanting John Mulaney’s female version of an Ocean’s movie:

I hate to say it but they all look fugly. It’s like they all got together and planned to wear the ugliest off the runway they could possibly find as a statement. They were like “Yeah girl power movie! And look we’re still wearing fashion but we look ugly in it!” Except Helena, she’s been doing that grab some frumpy…

At least not too weird.

“Well, I don’t think it would be an issue. Because people would be using the facts instead of the imagined facts. If the facts were the same today, I wouldn’t,”

We line our trash cans here with the plastic bags. We use them mostly to scoop the cats little box. My dad and I went out to LA for vacation in January and I bought a magazine at Barnes and Noble (we were killing time thinking In-n-Out burger would slow down oh how naive were we) and the guy asked if I wanted a bag…

My long term ex was an Economic major and came from a prilved background but hated his dad and his best friend was an Anthropology major who is big into Anarchy and was dirt poor. All of us went to the same small liberal arts honors college. I could listen to those two get drunk and debate for hours. There’s a reason…

I do my best to bring my own bags and if I forget to not ask for bags if the items are small. Bags are such the norm people are thrown off when I say I don’t want one. I will tell them up front and they still throw small items I can put in my purse into the bag and then have to take them out. I had a friend in college…

This isn’t culture appropriation, this is a story of a song about some white guys who where miseducated. They were fed Romanticized Imperialistic bullshit, internalized it and wrote a song. I’m not going to retrograde cultural appropriation on a banger that the internet has only discovered. I discovered it in 1995, I…
