Fun little thing about medieval medicine.

So there’s this old German remedy for getting rid of boils. A mix of eggshells, egg whites, and sulfur rubbed into the boil while reciting the incantation and saying five Paternosters. And according to my prof’s friend (a doctor), it’s all very sensible. The eggshells abrade the skin so the sulfur can sink in and fry the boil. The egg white forms a flexible protective barrier. The incantation and prayers are important because you need to rub it in for a certain amount of time.

It’s easy to take the magic words as superstition, but they’re important.

Happy downfall of elon musk appreciation month to all those who celebrate💞💞💞

They’re about to break so many laws it’s not even funny, I can feel it in my bones

The very act of officially sanctioning a wizard orb destroys all its vibes

pondering my ricky rain frog

I haven’t been able to get the full video but we just celebrated one of our steam locomotives turning 145 by chucking a chocolate cake into her firebox

This post has a lot of interesting words in it, but I’m stuck on the second one:

Rebageled?

I rebageled a couple of images that originated with a user called mother-lee, and then noticed that someone called it out as AI. I went and looked at the blog it came from, deleted the post from my blog, then figured I should post my reason here, because nobody's going to care about why I would do that unless they're following me (and not necessarily then). So:

Even if it wasn't AI, I'm still blocking OP because they're anti-SW. Sex work is work. A LOT of jobs exploit people, and SW is not inherently exploitative.

Now I’m just picturing Charles doing research on Edwardian hair styles so he get Edwin’s hair exactly how he likes it, and surprise if him with it on like the 10 year anniversary of the agency starting and these boys are so married.

i have had enough DBD sadness. canonically, they cannot see themselves in mirrors, which means charles and edwin are constantly fixing each other’s hair, clothes, wiping dirt of each other’s faces. there is no other reasonable explanation for them both being so well kept.

I feel like dry ice has to be involved in the cold drinks somehow

Concept: foggy café. It's just a regular café, except they've got a fog machine going at all times whenever they're open.

I wish you all a splendiferously divine duck in a top hat Thursday.

Tumblr is really interesting because you can say something like thursday is duck with a top hat day, and half the website will reblog it

Everyone is fighting a tough battle so reblog to give previous a sword 🗡️

evangelicals being like "god made men to do This and be like This and women to do That and be like That that's just how it is" and it's just a picture of a white man and woman following traditional gender norms makes me so insane like you boring fascist fucks. god made 2 million species of beetles. god made whales, ducks, humans, and 1500 other species capable of same sex behavior. god made fish and amphibians that change sexes. god made more than 30 different intersex variations in human beings. god, in his infinite curiosity. wake up!!! fuck!!
