reminder that full suits of armor...weren’t actually the norm for medieval warfare. like, at all.

full plate armor was only widely used for less than a century, at the end of the Middle Ages. it was soon outdated by the growing use of firearms, and was more common in performative jousting than in actual warfare.

and knights in shining armor? they probably barely existed. shining suits of armor were the sorts of things kings wore in parades–the medieval equivalent of a fashion photoshoot. in reality, polishing armor to a shine was horribly expensive and difficult to maintain on grimy battlefields–painted armor was much more practical. 

knights in shining armor existed in medieval times the same way hardboiled detectives existed in the 20th century–as a trope for contemporary & future audiences to romanticize. in that regard, they were very successful!

I haven’t cried like this is a long time😢. Nigeria is burning.

Today, 10/20/2020 the Nigerian government sent the military to kill unarmed innocent civilians, a bloody massacre.

Every single drop of innocent Nigerian blood spilled will judge Buhari, Sanwo-Olu and Tinubu. They will never know peace. The blood of the innocent will curse them. They will suffer severely before they die.

Windcatchers are fascinating.

Also called wind towers and wind scoops, windcatchers have been used in North Africa and the Middle East for thousands of years to provide natural ventilation & passive cooling. They fell out of popularity after the introduction of HVAC systems, but are now experiencing a revival because they’re so practical and cost-effective. Here’s how they work:

Not only are they an engineering masterpiece–they’re gorgeous

Windcatchers rely on local weather instead of the electric grid, making them affordable, reliable, and eco-friendly. they’re a terrific example of how vernacular and traditional architecture is often more suited to its environment–and more livable–than modern polite architecture. 

You want me to waste 5 hours a week doing busywork? Fine by me...

For context, I am an AP student who has an absolute shitload of work to do every day. However, I forgot to take the mandatory health class. I had low expectations for that class, but it was worse than even I could have expected.

I have to stay 2 and a half hours every Tuesday and Thursday, AFTER normal school hours, do some random bullshit assignments some self important district admin came up with about how bullying is way not cool and how you shouldn’t eat glue for the whole time. Not only is it insulting, but it’s a literal waste of time, because I have actual work to do that will heavily affect my grades in important classes.

Social anxiety: Okay but have you considered that if you respond then these people you will never meet might suddenly hate you for no reason?

Me: That makes no sense but thanks I guess I won’t respond to any of them
