"Madame Delait pruning roses"

She was a French bearded lady from Thaon-les-Vosges, Lorraine region of eastern France. She run a local pub with her husband in the town and used to shave regularly until 1900.

In 1901, she visited the carnival of Nancy with her husband and saw a bearded woman there. Upon returning to the town, one of the regulars in the pub offered her 500 Francs (roughly 5k USD in today's money) if she let her beard grow. Even though she never get the money, she kept the beard and renamed the pub to Le Café de La Femme à Barbe, "The café of the Bearded Woman".

She became a kind of celebrity, by selling postcards and photographs (in relatively feminine settings at the beginning, later she even got a special permission from the authorities to wear men's clothes at her leisure, which was illegal at the time). She also toured in Europe and became even more famous during WW1 when she joined the Red-Cross and became the mascot of the Poilu (French infantrymen with lower class background).

Ankh

There is an irony found

In the nature of constant longing

For something outside of this static

That this numbness itself brings

Pain

Which cannot be felt

Only observed with

Reaching arms

Tired eyes drowned in the eyeliner

You didn’t take off days ago

Because the point of preening

Was lost on your feathers that haven’t

Felt the clouds

And remained stagnant in bones

That should’ve been hollow

But instead are grounded

In the weight of

Wanting

And never knowing

What being sated

Could possibly

mean

I feel like instead of mellowing with age my emotional meltdowns are getting worse. And also a lot of things about me. are worse.

Gaming ads in print used to be jarringly unhinged in the 1990s to mid 2000s.

Like you’d have a picture of the Bogdanoff twins holding an iguana or some shit and it’s all monochrome, except the iguana.

Accompanied by text reading “ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID!”

And it turns out that it’s an ad for Yoshi’s Island.

That’s the kind of insanity we need to bring back!

It’s not a real example but they all had that kind of energy.

me after finally finding a home on the queer neurodivergent website by carefully examining the mannerisms of tumblr users for several years and copying them so that people don’t think i’m a… *shudders*…. tiktok refugee……

(i’m not, my timing for actually participating in tumblr was just terrible)

The family business

We took my nieces (22 and 14) to the Wisconsin Dells last weekend.

It’s a Midwest staple.

While there, I found out niece #2 is in a text chain with a group of people who call themselves ‘Steve’s Kids’ and they all talk about Marvel.

Niece #1 spent ~$160 getting the latest Loungefly Loki mini backpack and matching wallet.

Then, combined, the four of us bought almost $200 worth of candy.

Great weekend. 10/10 My geekiness is obviously rubbing off on them.

These are life size unicorns. Made out of candy.

You’re welcome.
