If this was funnier in your head, I’m astonished you’re not just wheezing and laughing silently on the floor

If a girl is to do the same superman thing where he takes off his disguise, we just look pervy. Not the same effect

[durnesque-esque]

First of all: bullshit.

Secondly: If you are not doing the Linda Carter spin, then you’re doing it wrong.

generally speaking i think people just don't understand that propaganda does not equal the message the propaganda is trying to communicate. re the last post i reblogged: the propaganda itself is not going to be a sign that says "jews suck and we should get rid of them," the propaganda is gonna be, like.... "hey, isn't it weird that they don't take part in christmas traditions? i get they're jewish, but it's really not about religion, it's more of a community thing.....why don't they want to take part in community activities? do they think they're better than us?" and obviously the underlying theme here is a) jews are different than us good upstanding community members, and b) if they don't want to participate in our community activities, why should they be in our communities at all? and even this is less outright propaganda and more just....trap-thinking.

i booked a front row seat to the devil's sacrament and you're blocking the view

just go back to the 1660 new england hole you just crawled out of and eat barley for a week to atone for your sins or whatever

[marithlizard]

" "I booked a front row seat to the devil's sacrament and you're blocking the view" is one banger of a thematic statement. Shirt material.

I was working with an item today that just utterly flabbergasted a part of me (the other was deeply frustrated with the catalogue record AS SOMEONE APPARENTLY THOUGHT IT WAS PRINTED ON SILK, coming back to that in a minute) … but ANYWAYS … said item is a replica of a medieval manuscript prayer book THAT IS ENTIRELY WOVEN out of grey and black silk … WOVEN … text, images, intricate grey scale, WOVEN … NOT PRINTED …

And it’s flabbergasting because it’s from 1888, Jacquard machine, IT USED PUNCH CARDS to weave these intricate pages … something like 400 weft per near square inch … IT looks like a page of textured paper, but it’s not, it’s entirely SILK … F*CK …

Anyways …

[alibrariangoestoikea]

OKS I’ve since calmed down and found out that the reason they used “printed” is because it is essentially printed by a computer … in a weird way; when I import the record, I’m just gonna take that note out …

BUT this is the item btw

WOVEN! WOVEN ON A LOOM using f*ckin’ punch cards!

[vinceaddams]

This portrait of Joseph Marie Jacquard was also woven with punch cards in 1839!

[stephaniematurin]

NOW GUESS WHY EARLY COMPUTERS WERE PROGRAMMED

WITH

PUNCH CARDS

yes you’re right, they used jacquard-loom techniques
