some of y’all took the message “while consuming cottagecore content please be mindful of indigenous practices and homes on those lands and of native environmentalism, also please include more pocs in your cottagecore content” and turned it into “If You Reblog A PIcture Of A Scone Or A Farm You Are A White Supremacist” 

We also figured out—the hard way—that the ancients probably cut each layer of linen to the proper shape before gluing them together. For our first linothorax, we glued together 15 layers of linen to form a one centimeter-thick slab, and then tried to cut out the required shape. Large shears were defeated; bolt cutters failed. The only way we were ultimately able to cut the laminated linen slab was with an electric saw equipped with a blade for cutting metal. At least this confirmed our suspicion that linen armor would have been extremely tough. We also found out that linen stiffened with rabbit glue strikes dogs as in irresistibly tasty rabbit-flavored chew toy, and that our Labrador retriever should not be left alone with our research project.

I love this in every way possible. What is it from? Where can I read more?

The pitfalls of experimental archaeology and puppies.

I wrote my final paper for english on ancient forms of armor, and let me tell you, linothorax is literally one of the most advanced forms of armor, EVER. The handwoven fibers of linen, stacked on top of each other in dozens of layers, made the armor basically impenetrable, and could easily protect the wearer from any slashing or cutting blows. On top of this, it was incredibly lightweight, breathe able and even water repellant. Compared to the heavy bronze Hoplite armor, this shit was the sexiest armor in town

SEX IS NOT THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD FEEL LOVED, A REMINDER

SEX IS ONLY ONE FORM OF PLEASURE AND NOT THE PINNACLE OF IT, A REMINDER

me: *doesn’t have a gf* me: I love my gf

It is okay if you want attention, if you want to be held, if you want to be loved, if you want to be told that you look beautiful and that you matter, because you cannot tell it to yourself. Craving affection is absolutely okay. You do not have to go through life alone, my love. You are allowed to take up space and want someone by your side to support you and to simply be with you. It is only human to need another. All of these things are nothing to be ashamed of. (Just make sure that you do not depend your worth on the attention you receive!)
