Alice's Wizardly Void-Space

It exists and it's called Portland, Oregon

took 1.5 days for transmascvoicesproject to call the trans woman whose project idea he stole & twisted into a transmisogynistic premise, "a modern, digital-age charles manson" (direct quote) and start framing her as a cruel, manipulative villain (a serial killer cult leader n*zi in this case!!!!) and herself as the innocent victim. so much for claiming to have no transmisogynistic biases holy fucking shit

an interesting thing about clothing in late medieval and early modern europe is that, while lower class people generally did wear brightly colored clothing instead of muddy brown clothes, there were very distinct differences in the color of clothing people of different classes wore. clothing was done with all natural dyes, of course, but they were either dyed locally with cheap and easily accessible ingredients, or they were dyed in holland, italy, the ottoman empire, or even further afield using a jealously guarded secret combination of difficult-to-access ingredients, including (crucially) better-quality fixatives. this means that not only did expensive imported fabrics maintain a dark, rich tone much longer than a locally dyed one, which would get a washed out look after a couple of years, but there were also certain colors that a working class farmer literally couldn’t afford to wear, and even though the difference between a cheap local lincoln green and an expensive imported popingay green might seem subtle to us people then seem to have been very sensitive to those differences. that’s also why the colors puritans tended to wear seem uncharacteristically bright to our modern eye—black was such a rich and expensive color that it would be inappropriate to wear to anything other than a portrait sitting, but the colors orange and kendall green were deeply humble in their origins

#the washing process historically was also much much harsher than the modern day#meaning that the stripping of color was ALSO much more intense plus drying things outside in the sun so a double whammy there#in the 1700's newer types of washing became available because of colonization so whiteness of your linens also became a thing#the processes used to be so stripping all your linens got a little bit dingy and yellow over time because that's the natural color of linen#but the unpolluted waters of the carribean compared to civic centers like paris and london plus newer wash techniques pioneered#by the occupied and enslaved meant that you could literally ship off all your linens to be washed across the sea and brought back whiter#theres a whole huge colonialism metaphor here but I have diverged so heavily from the topic at hand oops

I've recently had white women in professional contexts tell me that they were quote "hurt" and "gutted" by what amounted to very minor professional faux pas on my part. I remember reading a white woman academic's essay on Jane Eyre that began with recounting her emotional upset upon having Jane Eyre "taken away from her" by postcolonial / anti-racist scholarship. white women's emotions do have currency in personal and professional spaces in selective contexts, i.e. when wielded against people of colour 🤷🏽‍♀️

mousidy why do you exclusively refer to me with he/him or they/them pronouns? i use she/her and he/him and I do not use they/them, but ive noticed you exclusively use he/him or they/them for me. i respect you as a woman so i do not understand this degendering and misgendering you are doing to me regardless of our other disagreements
