Hot Take

museums should label 19th-century women’s clothing primarily by formality (except in the case of garments with specific purposes, eg. “cycling costume” or “nightgown”), not by the 10,000 different terms they might be called at the time

my reasoning is that the current hodgepodge of terms, while technically accurate to the period:

1. reinforces the myth that middle- or upper-class women used to always change their dresses many times a day No Matter What, rather than what seems to me the primary-source-supported reality- that they changed situationally, as necessary

2. promotes unnecessary disconnect between the past and the present. we have varying degrees of clothing formality today, just without specific terms for each one. they had garments that could serve for multiple purposes and be dressed up or down with accessories back then. but because we don’t talk about an “afternoon dress” vs. a “ball gown” and they didn’t talk about the dress code for a party being “nice casual” vs. “dressy.” there’s this false idea that our systems of clothing changes/formality are Totally Different. which is really not the case, I think

3. even they couldn’t agree on what to call each individual outfit! I’ve seen fashion plates in magazines where the textual description and the label on the image give the same dress different names

this post brought to you by: Marzi Has Seen Too Many Gowns Labeled “Evening Gown” On Museum Websites Apparently For Their Formality When In Truth They Do Not Have The Single Factor That Usually Made A Dress Strictly For Evening At The Time (namely, revealing more skin about the chest and arms) And Therefore Would Have Stood Just As Well For Formal Daytime Events

How do I deal with someone micromanaging me at work. Shes only sometimes in the department, doesn't do a great job when she is, and yet she's always telling me to make sure I do this or that even when the rush is about to hit and I cant start making 15 sandwiches when people are going to destroy the hotcase in t-minus 20 minutes.

what is going on w my brain

somehow, I don't know how, but somehow sewing machines always know when you're nearly done with a project and pick that exact moment to throw a hissy fit

I always get detained at da border because PROFUNC never ended but basically I'm like if a targeted individual didn't even care

twitter was having a shit fit earlier when the SGF happened and the s2 cast was revealed and like

i understand part of the rage at two crossovers and bison already being back, people wanted the big faves to come back like the sf3 cast in general, cody, menat, etc

but think of the LORE, gang, the POTENTIAL

and also when it comes to growing rosters and what characters get in, you gotta get used to the odd choices and potential disappointment, this is why the smash dlcs still worked even with characters like piranha plant and min-min, so i was kinda surprised by all the anger on twitter, and it was genuinely hurting my own hype because yeah i didn't think bison should've been added this early either, but since he is here now anyways, it's time to deep analyze on what they could do with this, because they could prove JP to be the bigger bad if they play their cards right

anyways guess im lurking on tumblr for a bit, yall are stuck with me now KFHSLFND

What are you starting with?

metaphorically? recultivating the hope that it’s never too late to pursue what we love and uprooting the stubborn cynicism that's always whispering what’s the point

"mutants are poc analogy" "mutants are queer analogy" Listen, X-Men and as such mutants as a whole should really be disability representation, and I mean representation and not analougous to it they just occassionally also get to blast ice while having furniture not built for them, struggles with keeping their mind in the present, and constantly having people casually discuss sterilizing or euthanizing them and being considered either dangerous or simply incapable of understanding when they get mad about this. But nobody is ready for this conversation.

guys this "keeping myself busy with distractions so I don't get sad" thing isn't working

I think the issue with comparing Zionism to Land Back is the latter is about like reparations for treaty violations and eminent domain abuse. Land Back advocates don't think their problems will be solved if a brown person owns Mount Rushmore.

“and as we’re entertained the earth will change under our feet.”

a lyric from ‘paper train’ by so long… partner that, within the album, is about post colonialism and queer rights and whatever else those themes may entail but really works with the state of the world now. i watch videos from 10 years ago and think wow, nothing’s changed. i walk outside and think nothing is different. but also, at the same time, when you watch those videos it is VERY different. We are in such a dissonantly seperate time to what we were only a decade ago but people act the same no matter what era you’re in. its a little easier for me to not over distinguish periods as i’m not on social medias, but people tend to fall into nostalgia traps that simply aren’t true past aesthetic contexts. The paths we walk are the same. the colour grading has changed but we watch the same movie, but your mind filters the older stuff so heavily you don’t remember it was more saturated than it really was.

Oh little people in my phone, we're really in it now 😔😔
