John William Waterhouse - The Decameron
Princess who likes doing embroidery
She likes it too much
She stayed up all night finishing the embroidery of her gown and then spent the entire ball talking about the techniques she used and how long it took her
She slapped the visiting Prince's hand when he touched her shoulder because "that took me hours and I don't know where your hands have been!"
One of her maids introduced her to weaving and now she's skipping her lessons on statecraft to dye her own wool
She asked for a flock of sheep of her own for her birthday
Her quarters look like a textile goods shop
She hired a new maid to teach her lacemaking
She is the happiest she's ever been and her parents just want to her pay attention in her diplomacy lessons
(she is but she's always doing some kind of fibre craft at the same time and it annoys her tutor)
I just need everyone to understand that we have hardly any surviving intact garments from before, say, the 1700s. There’s dozens of reasons for this, but one of the big ones is that people reused the materials. Things were cut up and refashioned into new things, over and over, until the fabric was essentially just rags, bc the labor required to weave cloth and stitch up a garment was intense. You would wear and wear and wear things until they were dead. This includes the elaborate garments of the upper classes.
And in the same way that today many people pick apart old things to cannibalize the buttons and trims and other salvageable bits, they did that too! No sense throwing away perfectly good buttons just because the shirt is shredded. Snip those off and sew them onto something new! We have lace cuffs that are incredibly old, but rarely the garments they were worn with, partly because lace was so fucking expensive you’d have to be insane to throw it out. You would save those and refashion them again and again as often as possible.
So what we know of medieval clothing has been learned from writings, often very vague, illustrations (also very vague), and other imagery like statues. We have bits and pieces of garments, often from funerary contexts, but the same context that prevented them from being chopped up and reused also made them susceptible to decomposing.
Which is all to say that we do not know the exact details of garment construction for any given period. We don’t even know all the ins and outs of the clothing of the 1800s, and we have hundreds of surviving pieces from that century!
Do we know how frequently and in which contexts hooks and eyes were used prior to the late 1400s? Not precisely, but we can make some good guesses based on artwork and later usage. But we may never really know, because guess what! Hooks and eyes are reusable. I guarantee they would have been snipped off of unusable clothing and sewn onto new pieces.

trying to find more songs for the playlist like a hunter and gatherer
It baffles me when you have a clearly asexual character and people erase that like "They're not asexual. They just got other things they're more focused on." As if that's not the peak asexual experience. The most asexual thing that can happen. Peak asexuality.
I'm not asexual. I'm just more focused on reading books. I'm not asexual. I'm just more focused on my career. I'm not asexual. I'm just more focused on my mental health.
AroAces are especially erased with this rhetoric. Of course they're more focused on other things. You're more focused on literally everything when you don't experience sexual or romantic attraction.
Like I get the point the allos are trying to make. "When they complete their goal, they'll start showing interest." But it's never a goal that'll be like... complete. Like "Oh, she's more focused on becoming a knight." But then when she is a knight she'll still be more focused on being a knight. Like you're acting like life goals aren't goals that are intended to expand across your entire life.
And if you do really experience attraction. Your life goals wouldn't get in the way of that. You'd find relationships that fit with your dreams (just like you find friendships that fit with your dreams).
Dumbass.

Some things you need to know if you really want to be an ally to Jews:
-There is no such thing as a "Semitic people", and if there was, only Jews would be considered "Semitic people", since "antisemitism" was coined specifically as an alternative to the word Judenhasse, which means "Jew-hatred", and specifically to refer to Jews. If "Semites" was a legitimate identity, the only "Semites" would be Jews. People from the Levant who are not Jewish are not "Semitic", and are still very much capable of being antisemitic. In linguistic sense, "Semitic" only refers to a language family, not a cultural identity.
-"Goy" is not a slur. It means "nation", it's literally a word that means "non-Jewish person."
-Only Jews get to define what is and isn't antisemitic. If Jews are saying that something is antisemitic, listen to them.
-Jews are not White People Lite. There are Jews of every skin colour, and even light-skinned Jews can still be subject to racialized antisemitism. Listen to Jews when they say they experience racialized antisemitism.
-Judaism isn't just a religion. It's an ethnoreligion, a tribe, and a peoplehood. There are non-religious Jews. There are atheist Jews. And all Jews experience antisemitism.
-Judaism is a closed practice. Yes, we allow conversion, but it is a long and difficult process, and we do not allow prosletizing. It's like a locked gate where getting the key is extremely difficult.
-Judaism is not Christianity-Lite. Judaism came first, it is an ancient identity and peoplehood independent from Christianity. Christianity appropriated and butchered elements of Judaism.
-There are Jews of every sexuality and gender identity, and we have a long history of gender diversity and non-heteronormative sexuality. Include LGBTQ Jews in your activism.
-The Holocaust isn't your metaphor or comparison tool.
-Antisemitism has been around for thousands of years and it's still extremely prevalent and rising today.
-The Jewish community is a diverse, multi-faceted community. There are so many ways to be Jewish and so many ways to express one's Jewish identity. No two Jews are the same, but we are united by our shared history, heritage, and identity.
Thank you for taking the steps to being a true ally to Jewish people.
-because jews are so diverse and have so many perspectives, and because a commonality in jewish thought is that truth can only be reached through examination and debate, one single jewish person CAN NOT GIVE YOU A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. ABOUT ANYTHING.
-listen to jews, plural. it needs to be plural. i am so so tired of seeing well-meaning christian allies who apparently listened to one sentence of what one jew told them about antisemitism and took it as gospel.
-it doesn’t work like that.
-listen to jews, plural, and watch what happens when you get two or three jews in one place, and realize that learning and growing and helping people and making the world a better place is an ongoing and complicated process, not an easy checklist of rights and wrongs.
