Love All

Call me Asa (she/her). Professional musician on hiatus, hobbyist writer, and sometimes artist. Love to cook and bake. You'll find lots and lots of Captain America and Marvel, some Star Wars, Les Mis, Disability justice and humour, and various asundry. Currently going feral over SG1. I get really excited about stuff and am generally overly enthusiastic about the things I love. I track amour de tous and amourdetous, but not amour-de-tous because tumblr is a bum about hyphens.

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively

Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!

For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!

Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!

OP, as an avowed Apple Fan, let me introduce you to an (okay, not entirely comprehensive) guide to USA apples: https://pickyourown.org/appleselectionguide.htm My favourite is Cortland, btw, by a country mile. Perfect apple for fresh eating or for baking with. Sweet, slightly tart, juicy, with a soft, biteable flesh. York (also known as Imperial York) is a great apple because it's harvested but not eaten; it goes into storage until January-February, by which time the flavour has sweetened as the sugars developed, and THEN you eat it. Delightful.

Do you have any resources on disabled fashion history from any period? I'm curious how social standards did/didn't change for people who needed less/looser/different clothes and what adaptations they made for their bodies.

Annett-Hitchcock's Intersection of Fashion and Disability is the most prominent work currently out. It doesn't really describe the basics of what disabled people wore generally, but it provides some interesting case studies and touches on historical cultures of disability. There's a lot on scoliosis supports (not surprising, as that's a big part of the surviving literature) and men whose wounds were documented. It falls into the trap of comparing corsetry to foot binding (sigh), so grain of salt and all that, but it's an important starting point.

I can also point you to Bach's thesis on scoliosis in 19th-century dress, but beyond that, there really isn't much. Dress and disability is a developing field, and most work concentrates on contemporary topics. The history of it is something that I'm interested in myself and may start to pursue after I complete my dissertation on fat fashion history. I run into it a lot as clothing for fatness (as well as pregnancy) has many intersections with that for disability.

There's a bit more that's come out recently on maternity dress (by Catriona Fisk, as well as the A History of Maternity Wear pattern book, but that isn't as scholarly). I can tell you that "invalids" were allowed to doff corsetry and wear looser clothing, so Gray's work on the Mother Hubbard is a good reference. I can also point you to my own work on "Fat Ladies" and freakshow performers who were dressed absolutely perfectly when required, which shows that people with limb and body differences were easily accommodated by the pre-RTW nineteenth-century fashion system (presuming you had the money for a dressmaker).

Dress and disability is a great topic, and if anyone reading this is thinking about a research paper, I encourage you to dive in!

it does suck that the government defunded PBS but it's also so fucking funny that now that they don't take uncle sam's slavery dollars they're running videos like "How america's foundation was built on genocide"

no more being polite about it fuck the USA

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny

[elliot-amy]

at my old job i had a coworker who was tired and made a coffee with like 6 or 8 shots of espresso and i just casually went up to them like “are you trying to meet god?” and not only was this absolutely hilarious to them but they brought it up in future conversations they thought it was so funny but to me this was just as casual as saying “woah that’s a lot of coffee”

Being funny on Tumblr and then going to be funny in real life is like traveling to a foreign country and baby the currency exchange rate is biased in your favor
