after eight years, I finally updated my huge Historical Fashion Reference & Resources Doc! Now in the form of a MUCH more easily updated Google Doc with better organization, refreshed links, and five more pages of books and online resources.
I know tumblr hates links, but it’s worth it for a doc that I can now update with far more regularity going forward! RIP to the original, you did your duty for far longer than you should have. 😔🙏🏼
hello i do not know if this has been shared here already but snowflake is a system that allows you to access censored websites and applications from all over the world. And if you are in a place where the internet is not heavily censored, you can help someone else do that by adding a simple web extension to your browser (which is super easy, safe and takes maybe 2 minutes) or just keeping this webpage open. Further information on both how to bypass censorship and how to help can be found here. And here is there support channel regarding Iran in particular. Please help and share this if you can!
it’s time we start oppressing ppl that use the word “hubby”
I think the special charm of early Stephen King is that he’s absolutely terrified of women. Stephen King is afraid if teenage girls the way some people are afraid of snakes and of older women the way people are afraid of spiders. Firestarter, a book I loved as a straight forward power fantasy when I was a young girl, is about a group of villainous government agents and assassins trying to kill an adorable little seven year old girl before she develops critical thinking and incinerates them.
I have a copy of Naomi Alderman’s The Power where Stephen King has a blurb that is something like “this is the scariest book I’ve ever read.” And yes, Stephen King I could absolutely have predicted that you personally find that book terrifying.
Stand with muslim women for their fight against religious fundamentalism, not against them
people say that tumblr is more egalitarian because it doesn’t show follower counts or faves, but it also has no built-in mute function. there are no courtesy follows here. only the strongest posters shall survive the winter.
HAPPY International Women’s Day!
We’re proud to share the stories of strong, powerful women - most who are remembered for challenging the social norms of their respective time periods, and for making real changes in history. May their stories live on!
Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones "fake" is stupid because it's the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it's all fuckign carbon
