WHY ARE THE DOORS SO TALL AND NARROW

Arbour Hill is derived from the Irish Cnoc an Arbhair which means "corn hill". The area was owned by Christ Church Cathedral during the medieval period and was used to store corn. The area first appears on a map in 1603 as "Earber-hill".

Sketch for this was in my diary for 6 years. That boy was just so sure that America was a fantasy land so for a moment I also believed him ♥

People in the comments of the Assassin's Creed: Shadows trailer becoming armchair historians trying to explain why Yasuke shouldn't be a protagonist actually are hilarious. Like besties this is a franchise where people can control eagles with their minds and a good 5% of the population are descended from evil psychic aliens. I THINK we can expand on a story of Japan's only-recorded African koshō without it jumping the shark.

Colonizers when they want to invalidate the Indigeneity of Native Americans: um well actually you came across the Beringia Strait so you're actually Asian and not "Indigenous" to North America, you're immigrants too, White people are "Native" to North America too if they were born there 🙄

Those same Colonizers when they want to invalidate the Indigeneity of Palestinians: actually I changed my mind, Palestinians aren't Indigenous to the Levant either because they are "Arab" and they were the invaders and it doesn't matter if Palestinians were born in Palestine

guys i know the conversation surrounding the vackers’ accents has been beaten to death but. for people who didn’t notice (like myself). i’m rereading book one and on page 64 (paperback) it says,

“…You’re even a natural at our language. Your accent is perfect. Almost as perfect as these guys’.” He [Kenric] pointed to Alden and Fitz.

having alden and fitz, who are known for having crisper pronunciation of words, and sophie, someone that grew up in america where words are known to be pronounced harshly/bluntly, be examples of perfect or near-perfect enlightened/elvin implies that elves are supposed to sound not just like babies, but ideally sophisticated babies? or perhaps brutish babies. idk food for thought

liberal zionists, "pro-palestine" zionists (???? do you people know what an oxymoron is) and every other type of zionist are all zionists at the end of the day. they are fascists and genocidal freaks at heart no matter how much they love to larp as progressives

Some of the "Life in Early Ohio" fashion show in front of the Fort Meigs monument, showing a variety of working class and upper middle-class settler clothing of the early 19th century.

I love that the local reenactment group is so enthusiastically into researching historical fashion and sewing reproduction garments—which you would think would be the case with all historical reenactors, but that wasn't my experience with a WWI group years ago.

In the top picture a man wears a hunting frock at far left, and the other gentleman wears a round hat with dancing shoes. They were adamant on the term round hat as being more period correct than "top hat", and I think they're probably right since that's the term I've seen for Royal Navy midshipman hats in the same time period.

The woman presenting the fashion show noted that there is a contemporary drawing of Daniel Boone depicting him in a round hat, NOT a "dead animal on his head" lmao. (I appreciated the shots fired at coonskin caps.)

The woman second from left in the second photo has put on her spencer jacket to show the military influence on civilian women's fashion: compare the tape decoration with the coatee of the soldier standing next to her.
