Yokohama’s politics are mildly horrendous when you think about it. There’s literally a slums region (read: Despair Pit of the Poor). No one is doing anything about it, there’s active crime and gang issues in this area but it’s not a priority in the city. Somehow making sure the layman doesn’t know about any of the silly wacky bullshittery that happens with the supernatural is more important than a literally pit for people to rot in.
Just some things I’ve been thinking about since my last rewatch/reread of BSD. The ADA and ability users are known as a myth to the general public (see Atsushi’s reaction when he first learned about where Kunikida and Dazai worked)
The government literally pays an entire branch to to cover up special ability related incidents. (Image ripped right off the bsd wiki btw)
I think it’s safe to say the government funnels more money into this division than poor relief. I know the city is still recovering from major conflict and effects of war but m a n. Nobody should live here, it’s hilariously bad.

In 1857, the Married Women’s Property Bill was first discussed in parliament. In 1858, The English Women’s Journal was founded, followed in 1859 by the formation of The Society for Promoting the Employment of Women.
Women’s colleges were springing up all across Great Britain and Victorian ladies were concerning themselves not only with women’s education and employment, but also with suffrage and the rights of wives. In the 1864 publication, Crinoline in its Bissextile Phases, a lady responds to the male demand that females give up their crinolines with a verse which speaks volumes for feminine feeling in the Victorian era:
‘They tell us, again, in a bustling street
Our Crinolines hurt their poor legs or feet.
Not badly, I trust, — ’twere the doctor to pay,
My recipe is, keep out of our way.’

since this is such an underresearched topic and i feel like bits of historical evidence could come from a very very wide breadth of sources, i’m reaching out to all the pdf lovers on tumblr: who here has any (reputable) sources that might mention how black people (socially, culturally, politically, etc) affected western fashion PRIOR to the jazz age???
