'The Chuts'. Dutch Cigar Makers’ Sabbath meal in London's East End, 19th century • Sandys Row Archive

From the 1840s onwards a small group of pioneering Dutch Jews (about 50 families), mainly from Amsterdam, settled in an area in West Spitalfields known as the Tenterground. Hugeunot silk weavers, erected homes and workshops there in the eighteenth century, later becoming occupied by this small tight-knit Dutch immigrant Jewish community, known as “the Chuts.” These little known Dutch Jewish immigrants pre-date the mass migration of Ashkenazi Jewish migrants who fled persecution in the Pale of Settlements and arrived in their thousands to the area from 1880s onwards. The Dutch immigrants who established Sandys Row Synagogue were economic migrants seeking a better life, rather than refugees fleeing persecution. They had their own practises and customs, which were different to other Ashkenazi Jewish groups and refused to join any of the existing synagogues. Most of the newly arrived Dutch Jews were skilled workers, predominately involved in the trades of cigar and cigarette making, diamond cutting and polishing, slipper and cap making. Skills were passed on from generation to generation, making this small community of about a thousand people extremely self sufficient.

Hi my loves! Please take the time to read!!

I’m thinking of getting an autism diagnosis, but I’m not sure if I should.

On one hand I think it will help me when I need help with certain things because I feel I won’t be taken seriously without a diagnosis.

On another hand, I don’t want it to hold me back, close options for me, or ostracize me any more from my peers/community.

If you have autism, did a diagnosis help or hurt you? What would you suggest?

zdravím čumblrania, máte niekto nejaké odporúčania na filmy s podobným vajbom ako postřižiny? taká tá príjemná atmosféra začiatku 20. storočia, pekné oblečenie, krásne devy, staré mestá atď? na dátume natáčania mi až tak nezáleží, áno videla som adélu aj zámek v karpatech, aj morgianu, aj spícího cimrmana, aj četníkov z luhačovic, hľadám niečo v tom duchu

You know what i love about this “embrace the weird” type of story that Imogen and Laudna are telling? (because, it’s not a brand new type of story, they know that and so do we). This one feels important and personal because, in my opinion:

It is not cutesy, random, quirky, kind of weird.

It’s a fucked up, debilitating, haunting, hard to deal with, kind of weird.

Imogen has an impossible time trying to connect with people (and society at large) because she can read your thoughts, and the sound of other people's minds literally gives her migraines and headaches. Is not just being an introvert plus general anxiety, she is shown to suffer real physical, debilitating pain because of her condition. 

Laudna is the product of high level necromancy, which carries in universe taboos. As a result, she suffers from physical manifestations — from the black goo to her haunting looks— that don’t allow her to exist in any place without raising suspicious looks. If she stays for a while, people will have issues, people will inquire. Sometimes violently. 

They’re weird all right, to put it lightly, and their conditions were trusted upon them. They were forced to live like this, nobody asked them if they wanted it, they got no help, and no guidance. All alone dealing with that stuff …

Until they found each other.

It’s the combination of their sorcerer “You were born like this” + “You also gotta deal with this stuff that was put upon you later in your life”. And that neither of those things are easily managed in their universe. 

This resonates with a bunch of personal stuff, and real world things that well, i’m wildly unqualified to talk about. But yeah, if it sounds familiar… yeah

They really deserve a break.
