So this meme about “spinster originally being a word for a woman so good at weaving she was financially independent” seems to have made it into pretty much every group I follow, so after the best part of a week biting my hands not correcting it so as not to undercut the broader point, I’ve now been *forced* to correct it (badly) and write a screed of additional context just for my own sanity.
“Spinster” is indeed a word for women who became financially independent through the cloth and garment-making trade, but by SPINNING, ie making thread from fibres, rather than by WEAVING, which is making cloth out of thread. You can tell by the title being SPINster, not WEAVEster!
The “-ster” suffix indicates that the title is feminine; you can see it in other surnames like “sangster” and “brewster”.
This actually points to one of the traditional points about female-dominated practices; while weaving within the household to make cloth for members of the household was traditionally almost entirely done by women in the house, when weaving became a well-paid trade regulated by guilds, men began doing it and rapidly pushed out the women weavesters or websters who had started the profession and originally trained most of the male weavers.
This never happened with spinsters because spinning was never as lucrative as weaving and thus it never became a guild-regulated profession; it remained a trade women in the household practiced to supplement household income.
Single women could habitually manage to support themselves on their earnings from it, including single women living in lodgings in urban centres as well as single women living in their own cottages in rural places, which was incredibly valuable to them.
This points to one of the ways trade unions, the more modern and proletarian-focused version of guilds, are not *simply by their existence* a solution for worker liberation. Trade unions, like guilds, have frequently enforced societal misogyny by favouring male and male-read workers over female and female-read workers, often actively undercutting the needs of female and female-read workers, because of the societal trope that “men were supporting a family” and “women were working for pocket money”. this kept on applying even when many female and female-read workers were primary wage earners.
Men, especially cis men, in trade union spaces have a responsibility to keep your union intersectionally-aware and actively seek female and nonbinary delegates, officers and activists to fill roles.
As everyone who is privileged in any axis - male, white, cishet, abled - has a responsibility to actively seek representation from marginalised folk, and to actively canvas marginalised folk you represent to make sure you are fighting for needs you may not perceive. It’s easily possible for instruments of liberation to end up marginalising and oppressing marginalised folks unless there is an ongoing commitment to inclusive and liberating practice in them.

Race: what a great run, I didn't only steal stuff but also heard some interesting info from the gossiping ministers-
Spot, the King he is stealing from currently: I think you chose the wrong balcony
This is from the medieval/fantasy-esque AU that I'm doing with @thatoneandlonelyemo2005. Most of it is concentrated on Bumswiftery at first, but also this is set in the same universe, we're just talking about what everyone would do in a world with magic and Kings and kingdoms :)
It will also go into a fake marriage AU for Sprace due to plot and cultural reasons I am making up but who cares if we get fake marriage turning into real feelings.
Bonus:

Did them in a picrew earlier because the clothes fit so so well.

I didn't get a chance to take pictures until I got home and I was all sweaty and rumpled but my costume for the ren faire this weekend came out so cute! I just barely got everything finished in time and I didn't get to try it all on until I was in the parking lot of the faire but I was so lucky and everything fit perfectly! Everything was designed and made by me with fabrics and trims I already had laying around 🌿🦄🌸✨
You can also watch me design this costume in an asmr sketching video here! 💕

@soldier-lodbrok | X
The young man seemed surprised about the sudden encounter. Little wonder, it was the very first time Ifalna had paused and spoken a word to him — she often spoke with others as though there were no divide between them, because a title was merely that, a title. She tried to keep her feet on the ground. To not allow her pedestal to be raised too high.
Because truly, she wished to be seen as simply Ifalna. And she imagined a lot of people felt the same wish. To simply be seen, even in a passing moment.
Though there were only so many hours in a day. Only so many moments to spare, when there was only one of her, and hundreds of people in her employ, thousands more that surrounded her walls who depended on the crown upon her head for food, for shelter, for a brighter tomorrow.
She learned a long time ago she couldn't stop for a chat with every single person. For most, her public speeches would have to suffice. Those within the castle walls however, those who were a little closer to her home, they were the ones she could catch in a passing-by conversation. Such as this one.
And oh, full glad was she to have stopped here and now.
Tumblr media
Ifalna's lips spread into a wider smile as he offered her the same courtesy as her daughter. "I won't demand it, I'm not as bossy as the young Princess. However I am curious."
Her head tipped a little. "Would you give me a demonstration, my noble guard?"

don’t let me reread because i saw this
Tumblr media
and an image of reynevan pleading innocent like the crying cat meme flashed across my mind
#szarlej: if the sorcerer does not fit you must acquit!!#you know we were robbed of a scene where szarlej pretends to be reynevan’s lawyer? that should have happened at least once#what is with bandits robbing tax collectors in sapkowski’s novels??#you know of all the get rich quick schemes out there robbing a tax collector has REALLY dropped off in terms of popularity#i guess this is what happens when you study foreign trade - economics and then have an interest in medieval history#im still like omg. raubritters were a thing you didnt just make that up? that’s fucked up. but cool that it wasn’t made up. but fucked up#and it’s literally raub + ritter. obvious german should be obvious#the first is a cognate and the second i know from rittersporne which guess how i know that 🙄#anyways…#you know… if angoulême still had friends around there’s a less than zero chance they would have tried to jump regis#he would hear it coming from a mile away (… maybe literally) and just disappear around a street corner#or… hide under a rock… like canonically. honestly still not sure why he did that.#ITS THE FULL MOON. YOU CAN FLY#regis answer = ‘idk… i got scared 😥😥…’#honestly interesting conundrum because too many ideas i have seen are like ‘someone tries to fuck with a vampire they get ripped to shreds’#which ok wish fulfillment i get it but#consider that 1. regis is nonviolent and would likely put someone to sleep over kill them#2. they are teenage hooligans 3. he understands teenager hooliganism#honestly he would pacify them and then while their eyes are empty he would just be like giving some solid life advice#bandits: standing with head drooped. probably drooling on themselves | regis: sounding like a turn your life around podcast#the elbow-high diaries#not even interesting post sorry just totally ramble nonsense here

Who Was She?
PAIRING: Kane Yamashita x Salima (Beyblade Original Series) Art trade with @blossommoonart Moonie
Tumblr media
He was sitting idly in the Dojo, looking at the falling Cherry blossom leaves with a smile when he heard the front door slam open and he blinked, sighing softly. Walking out, he greeted the Servants of his family and stepped into the main hall, immediately noticing the midnight blue haired boy. He turned around and gave a goofy grin to Him. 
"Oi Kane! What took you so long buddy? We have to go to the Hiwatari Palace for the Gathering, remember?" Takao exclaimed, his hands on his hips which also held his dual bladed Katana swords. 
"Takao, forgetting important meetings is your feat, not mine." Kane replied dryly. "But no wonder you remembered this. After all, Prince Kai is your own childhood buddy." Kane grinned and Takao laughed. "Yes he is! But let us go fast before Kai whoops our asses." Takao laughed. 
That's how after half an hour, Kane found himself standing at a stall looking at Takai who was ravaging the food brought from one of the stalls. "Takao, take it easy. You have to eat at the Palace as well." Max said, his one arm draping on Takao. 
Max was son of Lord Mizuhara, another of the Important Samurai Family head from the court alongside the main five Samurai Families. Lord Mizuhara had married a western Countess, Lady Judy. Other than him, the only non-Japanese were Crown Prince Rei, the Prince of China who was a great friend of Kai, Prince Yuriy of the Russian Empire alongside his friends Sergei, Bryan and Ivan and the Prince of Europe Robert.
“I know Max!” Takao slurped. “But it's way too tasty and invited me to have it!” Takao reasoned, making the two sweatdrop. Rei sighed. “Oh Takao, let’s go before Kai tears us in half.” He grabbed Takao by his forearm and dragged him towards the Palace.
“Rei, you know Takao doesn’t —” Kane was about to say when he bumped into someone, and heard jingles. Looking up, his eyes were met with the piercing dark black eyes of the girl. 
Her hairs were red, as red as the flame of scorching fire, adorned with a golden band embedded with jewels. Her face below her nose was covered with a dark veil, a pair of intricately designed flowy pants paired with a long skirt type shirt over which a heavy veil was draped. 
“I’m sorry..” Song.. her voice was like a song, a beautiful song. “It's fine…” He said in a daze, and the girl turned around moving her piercing eyes away from him and went, the chime of her anklets sounding like chirping of birds in his ears. He stayed struck at same spot, until Ray came towards him.
“Kane?” Ray shook him and he blinked rapidly, looking at Ray. “Yeah, Ray?” He asked in a daze and looked at Ray. “Let’s go, we are late.” Ray said and Kane nodded, following Ray. But before going, he turned back towards where he had seen the girl, and finally thought..

I hope you will like it dear. It was quiet long, but I lost my previous data and lost that one as well and I was genuinely so devastated.

D'arcy "Darby" (Medieval fantasy OC)
Tumblr media
🌑D'arcy "Darby" 🌑 body guard/knight - he/him amab - adult (26) - dhole
Art from Jan/24. D'arcy is character 1/3 of a party for a medieval fantasy (furry) setting I have :)) There's not a ton of info on the setting yet cuz idk lmao it's just whatever I want it to be
D'arcy is pretty reserved, cold, stubborn, and easily annoyed. He's good at what he does, which is either protecting or killing, but besides that he doesn't have a lot going for him. Easily agitated by others, he often snaps at them and pushes them away- but despite that, his employer, Malachi, adores him. He doesn't understand why...
He's an ex-assassin but I don't really have any more details on his backstory yet :PP OG design by rotpup on Toyhouse, redesigned by me 🪒 Toyhouse page Remember I love art moots, I'm open for art trades and art requests (but may not get to them quickly)! PLS ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT MY OCs OR WORLDS I LOVE SHARING LOL No armor/clothes version below (SFW)
Tumblr media
there you go thanks for looking :))

Hey y’all! I’ve been making soap!
It’s really simple too. I just use sea water, olive oil, and lye, making it incredibly gentle for sensitive skin. It’s been cool. I’ve even found a way to use herbs too which I loveeee. It’s weird but it feels so nice to make something both practical and pretty at the same time. And my bathroom smells amazing…. I’ve def made too much soap but no one can get mad at me because everything smells so good. They’ll make nice Christmas gifts so at least I don’t have to worry about that !!!!!
I'd love to hear about any skin conditions you guys may have! I’m still new at this and want to continue practicing. I would love ideas !!
Pure Castile soap is gentle enough to use on babies, burn victims, cancer patients, animals, ect. Since I’m surrounded by pregnant ladies I thought it would be a good offering but.. soap and herbs can help a multitude of issues so! Reply away and give me stuff to research~~~*~* yes?
