okay if I could time travel to the past, you know what I’d be most excited to see? THE QUALITY OF TEXTILES. Clothing was built to LAST before the industrial revolution and everything was HAND-MADE. We lose so much of women’s art from the archaeological record because textiles are perishable and we only get vague snapshots of what clothes and tapestries, etc, were like, and these would have been so important to everyday life! What did a hand-made toga feel like! How heavy was it! What did the tapestries hanging in castles look like! How did needlework enrich the home! Fuck! I love textiles!

TIL that a class at the University of Minnesota managed to condition their psychology professor by paying more attention and laughing at his jokes each time he stood in the right side of the room.

in december 1889, alexander parvus, a russian jew who had become a german revolutionary (& later financier, it’s a long story), announced the birth of a son in the sächsische arbeiterzeitung, publishing, “we announce the birth of a healthy, cheerful enemy of the state”

Gender: enemy of the state

Sounds like the best gender reveal party ever.
