I love Lucy Worsley and the shade she throws to men in this scene.
Sorry the camera makes the string lights in my room look bad but they’re hardly noticeable to me IRL on my tv.

My ex used to do this all the time: play "devil's advocate" and expect me to argue passionately against a position he's not even invested in. It's like they do this just to drain you, irritate you and waste your time.

Hey so fun new scam just dropped! I got a call earlier today from someone spoofing the local police department's desk number, asking me if there was a reason I'd missed my jury summons this morning.
Friends, I had not received a jury summons for this month. Which I told him, at which point his previously clear diction suddenly turned into a rapid mumble, only becoming clear for scary words like 'federal' and then asking to confirm my address, at which point I hung up and decided to call the police department later.
When I called the police department the desk officer sounded so tired y'all. All I had to say was "Hey I got a call earlier saying I missed jury duty this morning?" and she immediately sighed and told me that yes it was a scam that was going around and thanked me for calling to confirm.
So this is your periodic reminder that law enforcement agencies will not call you to tell you that you're in trouble. If you need to pay a fine of some sort they will mail you a physical invoice. Anyone calling you saying they're from the police or any other law enforcement organization (up to the CIA and yes I have heard of scammers attempting to impersonate CIA agents over the phone) who then tries to get financial information from you over the phone is a scammer.
I know I actually bang on about this a weird amount, but it is my fervent hope that the information will stick in peoples' brains if they get randomly selected for the adrenaline spike lottery. Scammers use scary words to get you to panic in order to shut down your critical thinking, and if even one person's brain spits out "Tumblr user waterhobbit said the cops/CIA/federal marshalls don't call about this shit" before their bank account routing number is in the hands of assholes I will consider it a job well done.

the reason it's difficult to argue abortion with anti abortionists is because for the statement "women's right to bodily autonomy is more important than a stranger's life" to make sense to you, you have to already believe that
women are full human beings (even when they're not wives or mothers)
women have zero moral obligation to sacrifice themselves or produce offspring for society
there is no divine purpose to female anatomy and the purpose of a woman's body is entirely determined by her own self.
women have an unconditional right to defend themselves from violence and suffering of any kind
they legit cannot wrap their heads around that

hey @jecook what’s your endgame actually? coming over here to say we shouldn’t point out typical male behavior because some woman somewhere might be a shitty human being ? and so then what?
where are you going with this other than, “shut up and stop pointing out men being shitty humans, and how so many men are so shitty in the exact same way that we can see the pattern in it, of all men benefitting from the regular shitty behavior of a majority of men, stop talking about it! because it makes me uncomfortable! or worse makes me consider my behavior or the behavior of the men close to me and i don’t like it! so stop it!!”
fucks sake, grow up
absolutely completely totally insane how women’s fun little plans are thwarted just by living with a man. my mom wants to use her vintage tablecloths but can’t because her husband won’t stop feeding his dog off the table. my neighbor was telling me about the sewing project she wants to work on but can’t because her husband broke her sewing machine. like women can live with Nice Men who nonetheless are the equivalent of wartime saboteurs

Women in music history
You may not know the name Teresa del Riego, but maybe you should. The Spanish/English composer wrote more than 300 ballads. Her music was performed routinely throughout her long lifetime (she lived from 1876 to 1968), including at the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. She was popular in her era, and yet, her music has not endured to the same degree as many more celebrated male classical composers.
Pianist and conductor Mary Box wants to change that — and not just to reintroduce the world to del Riego, but to many other female composers whose music has been too often underappreciated in a male-dominated classical world.
Box is the founder of the Montrose Project, a nonprofit trying to raise the visibility of music composed by women.

Pianist and conductor Mary Box, founder of the Montrose Project.
In the audio above, she tells Houston Matters host Craig Cohen what led her to start the project, how she hopes to raise the profile of classical works by women, and why that should include composers past and present who can inspire the next generation of female classical composers.
They also discuss the role established ensembles and music schools can play in highlighting current female composers and encouraging more to take up the craft.

"You can say that [orangutans] are not dependent on social support and approval, and if you admire this in them, that an orang is irredeemably his own person, 'the most poetic of the apes', researcher Lynn Miles told me once in an unguarded moments. What she had in mind was the difference between orangs and chimps in the way they carry on their discourse with the world.
Chimps are much admired for their tool use and for their problem-solving relationship with things as they find them...the orang is, let us say, not so replete with enterprise. Give an orangutan the hexagonal peg and the several shapes of hole, and then hide behind the two-way mirror and watch how he engages with the problem.
And watch and watch and watch--because he does not engage with the problem. He uses the peg to scratch his back, has a look-see at his right wrist, makes a half-hearted and soon abandoned attempt to use his fur as a macramé project, stares dreamily out the window if there is one and at nothing in particular if not, and the sun begins to set. (The sun will also set if you are observing a chimp, but the chimp is more amusing, so you are less likely to mark the moment in your notes. An orang observer has plenty of time to be a student of the vanities of sunset.)
You watch, and the orang dreams...when casually and as if thinking of something else, the orang slips the hexagonal peg into the hexagonal hole. And continues staring off dreamily."
Vicki Hearne, "The Case of the Disobedient Orangutans"
