romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering

The Way MUTED Ads on here constantly interrupt my Music on Spotify really grinds my Gears. As if it wasn‘t enough that there’s constant annoying Video-Ads, they at least could leave my Music alone until actually unmuted.

bro notions of authorship in american folk music…

that’s where it’s at, the uncertainty of not even knowing whether YOU are the author

Kinda curious- what do you mean by the Bridgerton effect?

The stylistic choices made in Bridgerton permeating popular culture, giving birth to pseudo-regency texts that refuse to try to even understand the milieu of the era, and instead go with cheap gimmicks, bad costuming, the misunderstanding period mores, spreading misinformation (e.g. about corsetry), etc...

Another greatly alienating experience is going to a chain bookstore and seeing that their best selling non fiction books are just 20 books titled some variation of "50 Habits of Highly Effective People"

Reblogging again, because I just got Word that this Section, among others, is closed for Renovations until 2030, which is a bit sad, but probably necessary given the Lighting (at least I hope they improve that…)

And here, as promised to the dear @vinceaddams come a lot of extant Garments from my recent Visit at the German National Museum in Nuremberg. I am trying to give as much Information about each Picture as I can though unfortunately not all of the Pictures were taken by me and I could take Pictures as extensively (including Info Signs) as I would have wanted, lest I be abandoned in the Clothing Section. Also the whole Section was awfully dim, which made it rather difficult to read some of the Signs. The last three Pictures were taken in a different Section, thus the more pleasant Lighting.

Servant Livery, bavarian Court, mid 19th Century (left); Servant of the Count of Cannotreadhisname, first half 19th Century (right)

Woman's Folkdress, Lötschental/Wallis (Switzerland), Museum dates it 1830/1905 which is an awfully broad Range, but maybe it was altered later; shows wonderfully how late 18th Century Styles were preserved in european Folkdress that came to be in the 19th Century proper

Various Men's Garments throughout the 18th Century, as there are Closeups of each, the respective Detailinformation will be provided further down.

Men's Spencer, c. 1810s-1820s, Linen and Cotton, the Sign didn't say it explicitely but due to it's Placement in the Exhibition and comparable other Pieces I have seen, I think this is more of a common Man's Piece of Clothing.

Three Men's Shirts, various Shoebuckles, a cocked Hat, a Periwig and what I assume to be a Hair Bag. This Display Case had a rather badly illuminated Sign, so sadly I have no further Details about the Pieces.

Justeaucorps, c. 1695, Wool, Silk, Metal Trim.

Waistcoat, c. 1695, Silk, according to the Museum it was worn together with the Justeaucorps, which seems to be a nice Colour-Combination.

Breeches, 1790-1800, Silk. Very pretty Pair, but the bad Lighting doesn't really let it show.

Habit à la francaise, c. 1790, Wool, Silk, Embroidery (What a Material Specification...). I really like the Combination of those subtle dark on dark Stripes and the Embroidery.

Tailcoat, c. 1790/1795, Cotton, Silk, Linen, really peak 1790s Look honestly.

Very wide Court Panniers, with Pocket Hoops and Crinoline in the Background. Alas no Detail Information for this and the next two Pictures.

Frontal View of the Pannier. I suppose I have to get one of those at some Point, if only for how extra they are.

Three Pairs of Stays, two from the Front, one from the Back. Sadly I don't feel confident enough to Date those and I have no Pictures showing the Info Signs well enough.

Lots of pretty Dresses that were exhibited in another Section of the Museum. The right one is a Robe à l'Anglaise, but that's all I can tell.

Another beautiful Anglaise, notable for being preserved in its Entirety with original Ruffles.

More pretty Dresses. Unfortunately due to Time Reasons I have no Pictures of the Suits displayed across the Dresses in the U-shaped Display, though I have to say one of them had a very much not authentic Lacebib hanging from the Neck...

That's all the cool Clothing Pics I have, at some Point I will return and take loooots more Pictures from all the Angles too. Also at some Point I might write to the Museum about the Lighting, there surely is a better Solution when having your Objects barely visible with unreadable Signs while still protecting them from UV-Rays.

Bonus-Pic 1:

Me, in historical Dress, c. 1750 (minus the Shoes), standing in a historical Kitchen.

Bonus-Pic 2, for the Boat-Crowd:

Beautifully detailed Modell Sailing Ship, early to mid 17th Century if I remember correctly. Interestingly enough all the little Sailor Figurines on it were very much early 19th Century in Style, so I assume the previous owner had those added at some Point, before the Museum acquired the Model in the late 19th Century. (The Incongruence sadly wasn't addressed on the Info Sign, so I might contact them about this too.)

think I have a new favorite joke in David Copperfield, in any Dickens I've read probably

rewriting the DM 50 times and settling on "hi" is probably as old as writing

finished my new shirt a week or two ago but didn't have an opportunity to take good pictures till just now! (don't mind the modern pants lol)

the design is quite close to the specifications of the same book I used for the last couple (The Workwoman's Guide, published 1838), but for a formal/"gentleman's" shirt instead. the main differences lie in how much fabric is used and, of course, the frills/ruffles. I did leave out the bib or front that the book directs you to let into the chest; I couldn't find any reference examples online of a shirt with both frills and a let-in front, so I just did the frills.

very happy with how this one turned out--I have some quibbles with the collar, which I think could stand to be taller/fuller, but I have other things I wanna get to so I'm leaving it as is. for now I have a fancy shirt suitable for wearing in any situation where I want to look poetic and/or fancy. ideal wear for drowning during an ill-advised Italian boating trip

also depicted in the first image is my new cravat that I made the other night--an 18 x 18 right triangle of red muslin, folded up and tied. I fancy it is rather grand, if you will

next time i might have a waistcoat to show? maybe?

Love how the university-specific word for "classmate" in German comes from the Latin word for "comrade in arms". Finally someone recognizes education for what it is. Yeah we're in the trenches covered in blood 👍
