Anna Archive was a goddess of knowledge worshipped in the early 21st century[1][2]. Cultists of Anna would frequently move the shrines dedicated to her from place to place in great secrecy[1][3], requiring worshippers to possess secret information in order to access the far greater knowledge provided by worship, possibly as a form of sacrifice[Original research?]. Worship of Anna is associated with the increased enforcement of intellectual property rights at the time[1][4], as well as greater inaccessibility of academic materials due to the late-imperial academic crisis[5][6][Failed verification.]. It has been suggested[By whom?] that the name Anna Archive may be the origin of the word archive, referring to a repository of information[7].

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
>:)c
May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?
It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.
There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources
another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this
Reblogging to spread awareness

researching the history of education in japan and learning that, pre–Meiji Restoration, peasants/commoners formed their own schools to become educated because it was the best way of fighting tax fraud.
That is, when an official told you, a rice farmer, that you owed more taxes than you really did, it was very useful if you were good enough at math to know he was lying (and could prove it) and if you were good enough at writing to write a letter to your government defending your case.
all of which is to say it's crazy that mega-corporations are now pushing education to be "what if you paid us whatever we tell you to for the rest of your life and never do math or write anything ever again"

spending the fourth of july watching movies about different branches of the military fighting alien invasions
20 minutes into war machine, wailing "WHEN do the aliens arrive??"
War Machine Review (No Beers In)
Aliens: 3/10. What if there was one (1) remnant from mass effect adromeda and it took a whole movie to kill it, only to finally get taken out by a bulldozer?
Military: 1/10. Tried so hard to make it look cool, only made it look lame as fuck
Yaoi: 4/10. It was there, but it was between blood brothers so it was really weird
Music: 2/10. Nothing notable 😔
Did the token female soldier survive?: No :(
Is Rihanna in this?: 0/10. NO.
Battle Los Angeles Review (1 Beer in)
Aliens: 6/10. Interesting design, in retrospect could be a metaphor for data centers, had a UFO that was made out of guns. Could be a 10/10 depending on your feelings about squirting
Military: 8/10. Emphasized camaraderie and saving civilians. Solid propaganda. Retreat, hell!
Yaoi: Automatic 8/10 due to whatever was happening between the LT and the Staff Sergeant
Music: 5/10. Nothing to write home about, but it got the job done
Did the token female soldier survive?: YES
Is Rihanna in this?: 5/10. No, she isn't, but R&B artist Ne-Yo was, so that counts for something
Independence Day Review (3 Beers In. Sleepy)
Aliens: 7/10. Promising design, thought it looked like a mindflayer at first, but tbh not explored very much nor were the aliens shown to be as interesting as the alien's ships were
Military: 5/10. The Military(TM) wasn't as big of an entity here as in other movies of this genre! Certainly a tool of the story, but felt far less like overt propaganda
Yaoi: 9/10. Will Smith's call sign was "Big Daddy"
Music: 8/10. Classic 90s action movie score 🤌
Did the token female soldier survive?: -1/10. There was NO token female solider (this movie came out in 1996)
Is Rihanna in this?: Rihanna was 8 years old when this came out. No.
Battleship (2012) Review (Sober now. Still sleepy)
Aliens: 7/10. Porcupine-man Predator knockoff. Bonus +2 points awarded for the lusciously animated spinning balls of death, though
Military: 10/10. They brought real veterans into the movie to show the youngins how to work the classic battleships. It was fucking iconic. Liam Neeson played the admiral, and he could not do a proper American accent to save his life, but they did also have an important secondary character played by a real life veteran and double amputee, so that makes up for it
Yaoi: 10/10. I shit you not, American/Japanese yaoi at literal Pearl Harbor. You can't make this shit up
Music: 8/10. Great soundtrack, honestly! Hits the right beats. AC/DC would be in this movie
Did the token female soldier survive?: She was Rihanna. Of course she fucking did
Is Rihanna in this?: 100/10. YES. YES THE RIHANNA WAS THERE. She aimed a battleship's gun at an alien's head and said "Mahalo motherfucker 😎"
Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs
The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"
On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."
Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.
I just realized Travis died in a haunted house. He was right all along. He shouldn’t go in those. They’re bad.

my cat is completely obsessed with watching the bathroom sink drain and I have started calling this "her shows." as in when I'm in the bathroom and she meows and runs up I'll be like "oh you want to watch your shows?" and run the faucet for an extra few seconds so it fills a little. she will then sit there at the edge of the sink for ages totally entraptured by the drain. blorbo from her sink
her shows
I ♥️ ABORTION AND DIVORCE
one of my favorite types of media to experience is stuff that i know in another lifetime i would have been absolutely obsessed with as a kid/teen. going through something as an adult and being like yeah that was pretty good. however if this had made its way to me when i was 12 years old it would have fundamentally altered me and i hope it's fundamentally altering some other 12 year old out there right now. that's the good stuff.
“don🦍t believe anything your brain tells you after 9 pm” wrong. the prime time for decision making is when you🦍re sleep deprived

250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!
Hey so a small thing that literally everyone who sees this is capable of is correcting any “used to” statements about native people in this country.
“Native people used to live in this National Park” No. They still do.
“Native people used to tell these stories-” No. They still do.
“Native people used to use this plant as a natural remedy-” No. They still do.
Better yet, familiarize yourself with the tribes local to you. Odds are, they do not yet have federal recognition. You can still read the stories they have to share, you can share their ongoing battle for recognition with others, you can sign petitions and spread the word to others to do so as well. But do something.
