this is the best most concise takedown of safe space critics I’ve ever seen

Time for more homemade basically Cup Noodles! Miso insta-rice noodle soup. (With most of the wakame still on the bottom, and the tofu at the top.)

I had a hard time figuring out what to eat to take some meds, and glad I thought of this low-spoons option. Hot soup is also extra welcome with the weather right now

November 9th, 2018: A video of maiko Mameryuu (まめ柳) from Tama okiya in Gion Kobu dancing the famous “Kurokami (黒髪)” dance during her sakkou period.

“Kurokami” is reserved exclusively for a maiko’s sakkou period- the last stage before she becomes a full fledged professional geiko- and tells the story of a courtesan longing for her absent lover.

Mameryuu turned her collar, had her erikae, and became a geiko on November 21st, 2018!

Beautiful

because apparently this needs to be said AGAIN

in the most general aesthetic terms possible

1600s: most witch-hunts ended in this century. no witches were burned in North America; they were hanged or in one case pressed to death

1700s: the American Revolution. Marie Antoinette. the French Revolution. the crazy King George. most pirate movies

1800-1830: Jane Austen! Pride and Prejudice! those dresses where the waist is right under one’s boobs and men have a crapton of facial hair inside high collars

1830-1900: Victorian. Les Miserables is at the beginning, the Civil War is in the middle, and Dracula is at the end

1900-1920: Edwardian. Titanic, World War I, the Samantha books from American Girl, Art Nouveau

1920s: Great Gatsby. Jazz Age. Flappers and all that. most people get this right but IT IS NOT VICTORIAN. STUFF FROM THIS ERA IS NOT VICTORIAN. DO NOT CALL IT VICTORIAN OR LIST IT ON EBAY AS VICTORIAN. THAT HAPPENS SURPRISINGLY OFTEN GIVEN HOW STAGGERING THE VISUAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ERAS IS. also not 100 years ago yet, glamour.com “100 years of X” videos. you’re lazy, glamour.com. you’re lazy and I demand my late Edwardian styles

I just saw people referencing witch burning and Marie Antoinette on a post about something happening in 1878. 1878. when there were like trains and flush toilets and early plastic and stuff. if you guys learn nothing else about history, you should at least have vague mental images for each era

“Les Miserables is at the beginning, the Civil War is in the middle, and Dracula is at the end” sounds like the longest weirdest worst movie I’d pay to see in theatres five times.
