Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

  • Oh, one more addendum to this, another myth related to Corsets:

    “The silhouette of the 19th century was achieved by squishing a woman’s organs to the point of death”

    This was rare. Ladies were instead padding everything else. You’ll look like you have an impossibly thin waist if you’ve basically strapped a pillow to your arse and another to your tits.


  • That we have gotten dumber.

    Or smarter.

    Or more moral.

    Or less moral.

    Anyone who says that is trying to sell you some ideology.

    If you know your history, you know humanity has fundamentally always been humanity since we started writing shit down. Possibly earlier, but then we can’t be sure because no-writing-itis.

    Some of the oldest texts we have are old men cranking about the kids these days.

    There’s stories of people being awful and exploiting each other. There’s stories of people taking care of each other and of their surroundings during dark times. There’s stories of people being weird little guys. We have just sorta always been ourselves.


  • Started recording history? Like in ancient Greece, one of the gayest cultures in all of time? Like ancient Egypt with its myths about jizz in lettuce? Ancient china with its noted love of femboys and general belief that being gay was just “a thing young men do, that is fine for them to do so long as they do their social duty of marrying and having babies”?

    Maybe prehistoric society was violently heteronormative and it’s true we can’t know… But saying “cultures were strictly heteronormative when we started recording history” is fucking hilarious. Heteronormativity is if anything a modern disease caught from abarhamic religion.






  • Had to go and look. (don’t really pay attention to these things normally)

    Wooow, 180 seconds (which probably won’t even get to timeout) when shutting down my computer. My life is ruined forever because I had to wait sooooo much. /sarc

    Me dissing yet another “SYSTEMD TAKES TOO LONG TO SHUT DOWN >:(((((((” whinememe on a Linuxmemes community.

    I stand by what I said. If waiting 2 minutes for your computer to shut down is so life-ruining for you, you probably don’t even know what a real problem smells like & should probably see a therapist about your lack of basic patience and frustration tolerance
