To anyone considering not voting because of the Palestinian genocide, I have this to ask:

How many Palestinian people do you think you're helping by laying back and inviting the GOP to crush you under foot? Self flagellation didn't cure The Plague, and it won't fix this situation either.

If you don't like the idea of voting for Harris, I doubt I'll be able to change your mind, but consider this: 468 congressional seats out of a total 535 are up for re-election THIS NOVEMBER. You want to make the government start actually representing the will of the people? Start there.

We're living in frightening times, and apathy is a very comfortable state of being, but you need to act. If you don't, who will?

Customer: "how long is this sale for?"

Me: *politely* "it's 'while supplies last' so there's not a specific date :) "

Customer: so like when does it go til?

Me: so we don't actually do it based on dates it's just until we run out

Customer: so it'll still be going next week?

Me: it depends on how fast it sells out! They don't actually even tell us an end date, it's just until we run out of the item

Customer: *pissed off* WHEN does the sale GO. UNTIL.?

😭😭 sir I don't know how else to explain it to u.

BRINGING UP BABY (1938) dir. Howard Hawks

Toasters was what got me excited about history for the first time. It was always who was king and for how long, who fought who and when. Until there was a co-op field trip to the history center in my town. It was an entire day, but all I remember was this man surrounded by toasters, telling us he collected vintage and historical toasters, and he spent like an hour and a half telling us about each one in chronological order and the developments of various technologies in toasters.

That was the day I got excited about history: the history of regular ppl and their daily lives, and especially the tools they used. Fashion history, outhouse and toilet history, baths history and development over the centuries, kettles, rice coolers, kerosene lamps and hurricane lanterns, coffee makers. It's been years since then but I still think about that man and his toasters sometimes 🩷

Tl:dr ppl have wanted to toast bread since forever, and the love of toasting bread has inspired many technologies AND got a 5th grader interested in history for the first time.

Loving how as soon as electricity was like, a Thing, people just went "you can make toast with this" and started working on electric toasters but they didn't quite have the whole heating element thing down so there was a not insignificant chance of it just exploding

Does anyone else feel like the general public treats them worse when wearing work clothes? Like even when I'm not at work, like heading home or doing errands omw home after work, I feel like I am treated different than when I'm in regular clothes. Usually by older ppl. Like they see a polo shirt and their asshole mode turns on.

Do you think the people who design modern sewing machines in plastic cases ever feel insignificant because of it? knowing that they're making machines with the lifespan of a dog when they could (if they'd been born a few generations earlier) be making machines with the lifespan of a Galapagos tortoise?

Hope it's okay to add this but I feel like this happens with LGBT characters a lot. Like it's always that they're surrounded by bigots because it's old timey, but their own mindset and attitude is like they popped right out of a 2024 big city. Where is the blend of LGBT and old timey understanding? Where is the comfort they pull from their accustomed culture and time?? Where does their LGBT identify fit into their culture and time and beliefs? THATS what I want to see explored.

One of my all time biggest pet peeves with historical(ish) fantasy is when the writer constructs a religion with a clear bias that it's stupid and false and therefore only the Stupid People and/or commoners believe in it and all the smart/elite main characters are like, quasi-atheists or otherwise just routinely flout established religious conventions of orthodoxy and/or orthopraxy because they're Too Smart for it or etc.

It's usually an extension of assumptions that people in the past were just less intelligent than in the contemporary, just being like "I know that the sun is a star millions of miles away that the earth orbits, but this ancient religion describes it as a chariot flying through the sky" and not really bothering to learn the context and just (consciously or subconsciously) settling on 'that's a crazy thing to think and was probably believed in because they were Stupid'.

And that whole attitude pisses me off so much. People were as 'smart' 10,000 years ago as they are today. These beliefs aren't just desperate, random flailing to explain phenomena that could not directly be accounted for either, it's not like people just looked at the sun and went "Uhhh I don't know what the fuck that thing is, actually. I guess it might be a chariot or a boat or something?? Yeah let's go with that." and based entire religious practices on this. Every well-established belief system exists within broader contexts of cultural values/subjective perceptions of reality/knowledge systems/etc, and exist as part of a historical continuum of religious practices that came before. Even when not Materially Correct, they have context and internal logic, they're not always dead literal with zero levels of allegory, and they're never a result of stupidity.
