Pope Leo is letting American bishops entirely ban trans healthcare for both minors and adults in all Catholic-owned hospitals and clinics, and stop coverage for trans healthcare through Catholic-affiliated health insurance plans!!
People are having surgeries, for which they were on waitlists for years, suddenly cancelled. Hormones no longer covered, their clinicians no longer able to prescribe them. Considering in some states Catholic-owned healthcare organizations make up to a third of the market, as it were, this is a HUGE issue.
Missing hormones. Canceled surgeries. Bureaucratic denials. Late last year the Catholic Church banned all trans healthcare across its sprawl
This has been happening since November of last year, when this vote took place, but no one is talking about it. The rehabilitation of the image of the papacy through Pope Leo is killing me, it’s still the goddamn Catholic Church. You do not gotta hand it to them.

pet peeve is when you look up fashion references from a specific era and you keep getting modern day '[era]-inspired' fashion like NO i want authenticity damn it. i can see your 2020 photo quality and your 2020 hair and your 2020 makeup. youre not fooling me.
hello i'm a historical fashion researcher and i have a lot of experience looking up things! this is a very widely experienced irritation and you're definitely not alone in this, but i am here to share everything i know!
so, ways to get around this:
turn off AI results. they're literally nonsense to us
don't use pinterest because the sources/provenance is often hard to trace
a standard internet search can be okay, but museum collections are the top tier (list of collections below this list)
instead of broad terms like victorian, regency, tudor, renaissance etc. try using the decade you're looking for. if you're not sure of what decade it is but have a vague image in your head, look on the fashion history timeline and just jump around until you find it. but even changing to e.g. 19th century will give better results than victorian
including terms like womenswear/menswear, daywear, formal wear, evening wear, court dress should increase the value of your search too
including "fashion plates" in your search can give you a nice impression of the intended silhouettes of the era. some of these might be a little stylised but will show you what was considered in vogue
for pre-fashion plate eras or things like makeup and styling, you'll have to look at portraiture or manuscripts. these are harder to actually find what you're looking for, but searching museum collections and limiting results to specific date ranges will be your friend
when looking at art, do bear in mind sometimes artists would paint fabric extra flow-y to show off their skills. it might not have been exactly like that in terms of fabric weight or drape. so, a pinch of salt required!
if you find something on image search where the provenance is dubious, reverse image search and you might find a source! i've been able to trace random pinterest images to real sources, but this does take a lot of time and effort and is often not worth the headache
some online resources and museum collections:
fashion history timeline is an invaluable resource if you're trying to get a feel for everything and should be your first port of call. it'll also link to good examples
the met has a vast number of extant examples of clothing, as well as fashion plates
costume institute fashion plates is a subcollection of the met for fashion plates (1800s-1922)
v&a also has many extant garments, fashion plates, and incredible articles on clothing and aesthetics. read the details of the objects because they'll often reveal a lot about the piece
lacma is good for C19th-20th pieces
nypl digital collection for photographs
national portrait gallery or similar for portraiture, or literally any museum in your country that has historical art
national museums scotland can be useful situationally but might be oddly specific
stout style history is a great collection for finding image references for fat people wearing historical clothes. survival bias of a lot of museum pieces tends towards smaller clothing that couldn't be repurposed, but this aims to counter that. it's not sortable, but is still a really nice resource
wikimedia commons is surprisingly handy! and the images, if you should need to link/repost them, are public domain
auction websites sound like a funny one to recommend. some won't have mannequins and some will. just look up historical garment auctions and you'll find some!
anyway, i hope this has been a good place to start for anyone interested! there are probably some i've missed because there are so many museums across the world and i don't know about all of them or can't remember them. but these are the ones i've used the most! (my specialisation/jobs i've had to research for have only really been in western fashion, so my resources reflect that)
Wikipedia has a list of fashion museums. Unfortunately, the page itself is only available in German, but the introductory paragraph is very short and after that, it's organised by country, and then it's a simple list. If you click on a museum's article, the website is usually linked in the overview table.
INTRODUCING: Alpha Gamma Corpses - Lucifer & Ty Weller
As some of you might know, for the past year or so, I've been working on writing my original novel. It's an afterlife based romantic comedy focusing on the self appointed best frat house in the realm: Alpha, Gamma, Corpses.
I'd like to introduce you to the main characters of Lucifer's Pledge; the first of the Alpha Gamma Corpses novels, which I'm currently in the process of editing.
So, please meet: Lucifer & Ty Weller
---
Lucifer
Lucifer is the king of the afterlife, known as the realm, and is perfectly fine. Discounting, of course, his self-enforced solitude in a colourless castle tucked in the middle of nowhere, his only active role being to mediate the arguments of the worst of humanity, and the fact he's so disconnected from reality that he's losing his sense of taste.
As stated, he's perfectly fine.
But never let it be said he's not one to take action. Per an agreement with his living-world alternative Eden, Lucifer has been going on nightly walks around the realm, and getting involved in anything interesting he stumbles across. It's a total waste of time and does nothing for him, but he does it anyway, which is further testimony to how perfectly fine he truly is.
But when he happens across a frat house that seems like a disaster waiting to happen, something occurs to him. He's not fine. Not fine at all. How could he have been fine if one night at the frat, tended to by it's ridiculous so-called king as they played the most stupid of games together, made him feel more alive in those few short hours than he's ever felt before?
Worse still, how fine could he be when a horrible truth comes to light. He wants to go back.
He wants to pledge, even if he has to hide who he is to do it.
---
Ty Weller
Ty wasn't just the life of the party; he was the creator of the party. He built his frat from the ground up. He came up with every stupid tradition, weathered every bad day where the stupidity of his afterlife seemed to oppress him, and collected every lost guy who needed something to laugh about and somewhere to call a home away from home.
So what if he didn't talk about his family? So what if he'd been hiding his phone? So what if memories of his death still crippled him? So what if he sometimes wondered what the hell he was doing with his eternal time?
Ty was the perfect bro, and that's all he needed to be. A hunk wrapped in workout spandex, never lacking a joke or a stupid stunt to pull, and always there to shoot the shit with anyone who wanted a laugh or just someone to talk to.
What else did he need to be, other than that?
But he also wasn't stupid, and wasn't one to pass up an opportunity when it was presented to him. So when some weirdo dressed like a fancy pirate came to the frat house and let himself be dragged into a stupid game of consequences, Ty had only one course of action.
Get Luc into the frat and finally find the match to his freak, one pledge night at a time.

I hope that gives you a taste of who these two men are, and what their weird, wonderful romance will be.
The story will follow them falling for each other, becoming the weirdest of friends, and engaging in a courtship ritual made up of games with the stupidest of forfeits, food fights, an endless assault of ridiculous costumes, camping trips, and occasional moments where they finally let down their barriers and pretences, just for the moment.
I'd love to hear what you all think of this idea. I hope you all like the wonderful art of the characters I've commissioned, and the front cover - which includes my silly little pun pseudonym - below.
