They asked one of the peasants what had happened. He shrugged innocently. "Who knows?" he said. "Woodworm?"

The tag system is no help anymore so i don't know if i posted this already or not so here is the behemoth pumpkin i harvested accidentally and prematurely because it hid under long grass. It was almost 10 kg! I've split it with my garden friend and now will see how it tastes like oven-roasted.

#could give some to my house garden neighbour #so did some networking as well hehe #or is this squash? i don't really get the difference #this one's a muscat de provence #and next year i hope to finally grpw a blue one - blue ballet iirc #and a crazy italian snake gourd :D #garden blogging

#They look like they max out their 401Ks and Roth IRAs every month #They only drink wine from a very specific vineyard in Provence made before 2007 #Synthetic fibres break them out #*This is a joke*#I can't believe they're only a year older than me #f1 #formula 1 #george russell #carmen montero mundt

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?

#yes Elizabeth was without a doubt considered too low-born to be queen #no she was not a commoner and nobody actually called her that during her life (so I'm not sure why people are claiming that they did?)#Elizabeth's social status was not a problem in itself; it was a problem in the context of queenship and marrying into royalty #Context is important in this and for literally everything else when it comes to analyzing history. Any discussion is worthless without it.#obviously pop culture-esque articles claiming that she was 'a commoner who captured the king's heart' are wrong; she wasn't #But emphasizing that ACTUALLY she was part of the gentry with a well-born mother and just leaving it at that as some sort of “GOTCHA!”#is equally if not more irresponsible and entirely irrelevant to discussions of the actual time period we're studying.#Elizabeth *was* considered unworthy and unacceptable as queen precisely because of her lower social status #her father and brother had literally been derided as social-climbers by Salisbury Warwick and Edward himself just a few years earlier #the Woodvilles' marriage prospects clearly reflected their status (and 'place') in society: EW herself had first married a knight and all #siblings married within the gentry to people of a similar status. compare that to the prestigious marriages arranged after EW became queen #Elizabeth having a lower social status was not 'created' by propaganda against her; it fueled and shaped propaganda against her #that's a huge huge difference; it's irresponsible and silly to conflate the two as I've seen a recent tumblr post cavalierly do #like I said she was considered too low-born to be queen long before any of the propaganda Warwick Clarence or Richard put out against her #and the fact that Elizabeth was targeted on the basis of her social status was in itself novel and unprecedented #no queen before her was ever targeted in such a manner; Clearly Elizabeth was considered notably 'different' in that regard #(and was quite literally framed as the enemy and destroyer of 'the old royal blood of this realm' and all its actual 'inheritors' like..)#ngl this sort of discussion always leaves a bad taste in my mouth #because it's not like England and France (et all) are at war or consider each other mortal enemies in the 21st century #both are in fact western european imperialistic nations who've been nothing but a blight to the rest of the world including my own country #yet academic historians clearly have no problem contextualizing the xenophobia that medieval foreign queens faced as products of their time #and sympathizing with them accordingly (Eleanor of Provence; Joan of Navarre; Margaret of Anjou; etc)(at least by their own historians)#Nor were foreign queens the “worst” targets of xenophobia: that was their attendants or in times of war commoners or soldiers #who actually had to bear the brunt of English aggression #queens were ultimately protected and guaranteed at least a veneer of dignity and respect because of their royal status #yet once again historians and people have no problem contextualizing and understanding their difficulties regardless of all this #so what is the problem with contextualizing the classism *Elizabeth* faced and understanding *her* difficulties?#why is the prejudice against her constantly diminished & downplayed? (Ive never even seen any historian directly refer to it as 'classism')#after all it was *Elizabeth* who was more vulnerable than any queen before her due to her lack of powerful foreign or national support #and Elizabeth who faced a form of propaganda distinctly unprecedented for queens. it SHOULD be emphasized more.

I can’t believe I can’t find my baseball cap. Like what did I do with it??? Sure I haven’t been out a lot on sunny days because of the weather but that’s like one of my staple accessories. It, along with my umbrella have been connected to my purse for years. I got a new purse but there’s no way I would’ve thrown out that cap. I’ve had it for...5+ years. Ah! I know where the cap is I got my dad. I guess Okinawa baseball cap it is. Swapping an astronaut out for a shiisa dog.

#mumblings #I've spent like two weeks slowly digging through all my stuff trying to find my astronaut cap #resigning myself to having to buy a new one #and just remembered that amongst all the stuff my step mom gave me when she was getting rid of dad's stuff was the cap I got him in Okinawa #I think I even remember where it is too #thank goodness because otherwise my scalp will burn if not this weekend then next weekend while cheering for the race #please say it's still in the tub with all the wall masks #aha I found it! I didn't realize she gave me two of dad's caps the other is like from my first year overseas when i sent him one for the #'independent country' island that was in my provence #he loved that one because it confused the heck out of people because they hadn't heard of it #it's a tourist location island that no one lives on but you have to go through a mock version of immigration to get to #it's mostly just a nice nature area #with a cool library and some birds
