Tbh I'm so interested in what feedism looked like before the big moral panic about obesity in the 90s and 2000s, I'm willing to bet there was less humiliation involved and then it became more pronounced because of the moral panic and the whole thing with kinks where it's like "you have to get shamed for and scared of this thing now and something about that is turning you on". Like obviously fatphobia wasn't invented in the 90s but it becoming more pronounced probably caused an increase in the humiliation aspect. And maybe even an alternate increase in the rebellious "loving fat on purpose" attitude maybe? Idk but i gotta try to do some research into this stuff (if only i knew where to start)

Medieval Game Pieces Emerge From the Ruins of a German Castle

A small cache of medieval game pieces has been discovered in the ruins of a recently discovered castle in southern Germany. The finds provide a window into leisure time, possibly among actual knights, dating back nearly a millennium, approximately the time that chess arrived in Europe as an import from Asia.

The find includes a six-sided die, assorted game pieces including four in the shape of flowers, and a very well-preserved 1½-inch-high chess piece, all carved from antlers.

“In the Middle Ages, chess was one of the seven skills that a good knight should master,” said Jonathan Scheschkewitz, of the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments Baden-Württemberg. “It is therefore not surprising that known finds mostly come from castles.”

There is evidence that these are not just display objects, but pieces that were actually used. “Under the microscope,” explained Flavia Venditti of the University of Tübingen, “a typical sheen from holding and moving the pieces can be seen.”

An international team of experts from the University of Tübingen, the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments Baden-Württemberg and the German Archaeological Institute is now examining this evidence of early gaming culture.

“The discovery of an entire games collection [from] the 11th/12th century came as a complete surprise to us,” said Lukas Werther, of the German Archaeological Institute, “and the horse-shaped knight piece is a real highlight.”

The pieces came to light during excavations by the DFG Collaborative Research Centre 1070 Resource Cultures and the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments Baden-Württemberg in a previously unknown castle in the Reutlingen district of southern Germany’s Baden-Württemberg region.

“They were lying under the debris of a wall where they were lost or hidden in the Middle Ages,” said Michael Kienzle of the University of Tübingen. They are in such good condition, he added, precisely because they had been covered under those materials.

They will go on display this month in two exhibitions: “Excavated! Knights and Castles in the Echaz Valley” at the Schlössle Pfullingen (June 15–August 30) and “The Hidden Länd: We in the First Millennium” at the Archaologisches Landsmuseum Baden-Württemberg (September 13, 2024–January 26, 2025).

Des Problem mit seller Kampagne dahanne isch, dasz die koin Funga Selbschtironie meh het.

"Mir könnet elles außer Hochdeutsch"? Des isch richtig.

"Schee hier, aber waret Sie schomal in Bade-Wirddeberg?" Desch e bissl arrogant, aber dud genau då drmit schbiela. (Außrdem kåsch die Bäbber wirklich übrall nabäbba außer em Ländle. Subber Trick!)

Selle Kampagne hend met de Schwächa, die wo mir hend, kokeddiert.

"The Länd"?

Des sieht bloß aus, wie wenn oinr IKEA bei Wish bschdelld hätt ond na noch in dr falscha Farb.
