Archaeologists Unearthed Dozens of Roman Tweezers in Britain

Archaeologists have unearthed dozens of Roman tweezers in Britain, revealing the ancient culture’s obsession with hairlessness.

The collection has now gone on display in a new museum at Wroxeter Roman City, which in its prime would have been as large a settlement as Pompeii.

The simple tools would have been used not only for plucking eyebrows but for removing any unwanted hair – including in armpits.

The tweezers are part of a wider exhibition of more than 400 artifacts which illustrates the Romans’ preoccupation with cleanliness and aesthetic beauty.

Among the other items on show are a strigil (skin scraper), perfume bottles, jet and bone jewelery, make-up applicators and amulets for warding off evil.

English Heritage, which runs the museum in Shropshire, revealed the find on its website.

Cameron Moffett, English Heritage curator at Wroxeter Roman City, said online that the find was one of the largest of its kind in Britain, indicating that tweezers were a “popular accessory.”

“The advantage of the tweezer was that it was safe, simple and cheap, but unfortunately not pain free,” he said.

The Romans greatly valued personal hygiene, attending communal baths daily. Many people would have had their own personal cleaning sets, including an ear scoop, nail cleaner and tweezers.

Usually associated with eyebrow shaping today, tweezers would have been used for general hair removal, including to pluck armpit hair, said English Heritage.

“It may come as a surprise to some that in Roman Britain the removal of body hair was as common with men as it was with women,” said Moffett.

“Particularly for sports like wrestling, there was a social expectation that men engaging in exercise that required minimal clothing would have prepared themselves by removing all their visible body hair.

Often performed by slaves, hair removal could be very painful. According to English Heritage, Roman author and politician Seneca complained about the noise at the baths in a letter, saying “the skinny armpit hair-plucker whose cries are shrill, so as to draw people’s attention, and never stop, except when he is doing his job and making someone else shriek for him.”

Wroxeter Roman City, or Viriconium Cornoviorum as it was known, is one of the best preserved Roman towns in Britain.

Previous excavations have uncovered the forum, the market, the bath house, a large hall known as the bath-house basilica and the town houses of wealthy residents.

These excerpts are from Damien Hagen’s “Regeneration and trans possibility in Doctor Who,” which was published in the most recent issue of Transformative Works and Cultures, OTW’s open access journal. It’s free to read… here (click the button that says HTML)!

Here’s what the editors of the issue had to say: 

“Damien Hagen focuses on Doctor Who fandom and the way in which the Doctor's regenerative capacity provides the means for queer and trans fans to explore trans possibilities and gender euphoria. Long before the Doctor's ability to change genders became canon in Doctor Who in 2018 with Jodie Whittaker's Doctor, trans fans have been drawn to the series for its emphasis on changeability, malleability, and bodily fluidity. Through an autoethnographic lens, Hagen argues that Doctor Who can be read as a trans media object—one that is not necessarily explicitly transgender but instead opens up gendered possibilities in which trans fans can imagine otherwise. Hagen further draws on other trans fans' queer and trans readings of a variety of canonical moments in Doctor Who to argue that the ephemerality and liminality of the series can be particularly pleasurable and gender affirming for trans and nonbinary fans who are undertaking their own processes of regeneration. While the series might never have been intended as a trans narrative, Hagen argues that through fannish interpretations and queer readings, it has the potential to provide a mechanism for survival, self-love, and gender euphoria.”

In the plainest terms, Hagen discusses his own/other trans fans’ experiences with Doctor Who as a tool to understand and love their transness. Themes of the show that trans people may relate to include:

Emphasis on change as a good thing (and lifesaving).

Carrying previous selves into the future, loving previous bodies and selves.

The specific experience of ‘creating’ a new body (the Doctor’s ability to regenerate), acceptance of/excitement about those bodies from oneself/others.

Doctor Who, Hagen argues, is a “trans media object,” or a piece of media that may not have explicitly trans characters but allows viewers to see transness reflected in other ways. For instance, when the Doctor and other characters accept their new body, it can feel affirming to a trans viewer who is also navigating the experience of a changing body. Hagen writes, “The regenerations weren't about gender, but my nascent transness felt them as such.” 

Do you have a similar experience with Doctor Who? Or are there other media you have felt similarly about?

Paisley headcanons

I thought I’d give it a shot with lego friends headcanons for one character of the series, so I’m doing one of my favorite characters from the series, what are some headcanons you have for paisley?

Paisley sings to herself when she is alone to not draw attention to others, and sometimes she sings in the bath or shower since usually nobody else (besides her and younger her sister, Ella) is home

Ones I have already established before:

She is pansexual and transfem

Her full name (since her transition) is Audrey Paisley Roberts

She and Liann are dating

liann cartman x reader plsplspls

general dating headcanons with liane cartman

A/N: idk if this is what you wanted but i'm madly in love with her so!! i don't do NSFW stuff but................. some stuff is implied because liane🤤

she's soooo sweet. like in bed she snuggles up to you and puts her hand on your chest and stuff 🙁 in like everything you do she's constantly holding your hand and kissing you on the cheek

eric probably hates u to no end at first, especially if you try to act like a parent to him. but he warms up eventually and starts treating you like the father figure he never had!!! he draws out your name like he does with 'meeem'

she probably has some issues with being a pushover, like you'll have to remind her to stand up for herself. you really helped her a lot with her self-worth and she's vry grateful for it :))

tons of flirting,,, specifically cheesy nicknames, winks, tugging at her shirt... esp during steamy times. flirt back and u aren't sleeping all night

baking together,,,,,, you get batter on your face and she wipes it off and kisses ur cheek,,,,, hnngg

if there's something she really wants she might do like. that really sweet motherly voice she had seasons 4-7,,, kinda similar to cartmans whiny voice. i like to think he got it from her

she'd deffo stay up fantasizing about marrying you and being a housewife n everything being so cute and stuff,, she'd love that but that doesn't mean she doesn't like to party!!!

like one moment you're kissing her hands and slow dancing after putting eric to bed and then you guys are out doing coke at a party and banging or something. she loves a good balance

honestly. she really needs a friend. so i feel like she'd only really slowly fall in love if you two were like best friends or something,, like after you form a strong platonic bond she starts developing feelings and it kinda makes her panic

it might take her a little while to fully feel secure in your relationship so any reassurance or care you give her makes her heart soar🙁💖💖

Hot take: I don't like that the s3 eps will be back to 11min

So apparently for Season 3 of LF: The Next Chapter, the eps will now be 11min and split in half, two stories per ep. Now I don't like this, mainly because while season 1 and season 2 eps were pretty self-contained but also had a strong overall continuity with good side stories that played into it overall. Plus, we already have multiple stories per ep-take for example, the one titled 'Liann's Lucky Charms'.

There's no doubt that Liann's charms are the focus of the episode, but there's a strong side story with Leo that eventually culminates with the collision of both of the plots of the episode; Liann giving Leo a lucky charm to help give him courage to stand up to Candi. The episode didn't feel too short or too long, but thanks to the length time, it was able to build up the necessary parts that needed to be shown for the audience to empathize with Leo and root for him with Candi, and also to show the gradual descent of madness with the lucky charms.

None of it felt like filler-it was all vital to show the impact, and because the buildup was strong, the payoff was satisfying to watch and the conclusion was good. If the episode length is shortened again, then the buildup will also have to be cut. This will make it harder to show more mature stories with satisfying tension and buildup to show the real issues, because there won't be enough time to fit it all in.

And sure, you could argue that 'if they stick to one story per 11min', like say only featuring Liann's charms for 11min without the side story with Leo. But then it's not as impactful. We've seen the lucky charms be used for good luck with Zac's dance move, Aliya's test, Nova's level, et cetera. But it doesn't quite carry the same weight as Leo using the last charm while standing up to Candi. It's a solid and good message, delivered well, that also brings the lucky charms full circle and ties it off nicely. So while you could write it without the parts with Leo, it simply would not carry the same emotional weight.

Similarly, there's also something to be said about the part where Liann offers Leo a lucky charm. Could Leo's story also be a separate 11min-ep? Possibly. But the whole point of the buildup with the lucky charms finally being used to help Leo with a real, true issue and not for something as momentary as a test or a lucky draw scratch card, is what closes the plotline perfectly. Cutting the episode time in half will make the story suffer.

So overall, I don't want the episodes to end up 11min again, because I think that it will result in stories with less satisfying buildup and payoff. That's already happened to Ninjago, and I am so glad they returned to 22-min eps.

Lianne Holmes’ story.

After like 3 years of drawing break I was kinda pushed by myself to draw something for sherliam because of “party” surrounding twitter post about “Lianne Holmes” (it was very funny) and it gave me idea for this short comic.

Mycroft really cares for Sherlock safety and helps their relationship as much as he can, but Sherliam still needs to be quite careful since law and social problems with male-male relationship in those times. No one want for them both to need run away from the country as criminals again.

And 5th page idea came to me a little later. Now I have a headcannon that Albert and Louis knows everything about those 3 years of William and Sherlock live in America because of Billy. They just gave him fruits, sat down and Billy just tells everyone how much Ponytail-senpai and Will love each other and what they did.

I did it mostly with my pencil as I’m very unsure about drawing digitally again after so long break and for sure it would took me a lot more time than with traditional art. I didn’t want this silly thing to take me like forever to do :D. It was fun to do, I only wish the end game after scanning was looking as good as original on the paper. I feel like it lost a lot of charm after I scanned it and pencil text panels looked awful so I re-added them digitally in the end.

Sherlock hair and face was a nightmare to draw. I can’t translate him in my brain to draw him down. I will need to redraw some manga panels with him in order to study, maybe in next short stories I have in my mind he will look better. It will probably take a moment to draw those other comic ideas since for now I wanna write some fanfiction idea I got for Sherliam week first. My felted figure of Sherlock doesn’t even have head finished yet and I wanna finish editing manga panels for amvs and start to make one. At least there is still progress in everything so I will finish those projects all soon or later. 

I hope text is fine too, English is not my first language and I’m always anxious about stuff like that. If there are some mistakes, I’m sorry.
