i know america has its problems and the 21st century has its problems but every now and then i like to take a moment to appreciate that it’s not the year of our lord 1531 and the king of england can’t have me boiled alive for the Treacherous Crime of making the royal court’s soup taste bad as a prank

#rip richard roose #you were a real one #(i think. that all i really know about him)#(but he seems fun)#oh my god and scaphism #i am SO greatful that scaphism fell out of fashion so many moons ago #that’s one of my biggest fears #that and being steamed alive #when my grandpa was in the navy there was an accident in an engine room #four men died #two burned alive in the fire #and the other two got hit with a blast of steam and died #and a bunch of their flesh melted off immediately #he had to help carry the bodies up the stairs bc he was a petty officer #he said it smelled like ham/pork/bacon and he couldn’t eat it for years afterwords #but i’m a barista so i have to deal with the milk steamer things all the time and they still freak me out #anyways i’m reading a book about the history of poison and it is FASCINATING
