Hi guys! Making my first post in a while to say

I moved (had to, since the last of my family was leaving the town I lived in) and haven't found a job yet. Prices of groceries and deliveries keep going up, but disability payouts stay the same.

So, if you can donate anything at all, it would be a huge help!

The Yugioh world championships are in France this year and apparently Macron appeared on the official live stream to wish the players good luck which is insane in and of itself but it also resulted in one of the craziest unedited pictures of a politician in history:

The name "Jane" is a female version of "John", and if Wikipedia is to be believed it developed not out of "John" directly but as a more novel and upper-class version of the then-commonplace "Joan", also a female version of "John", in the manner of the Kayleighs of today.

But "Joan" is still weird, because it's like that for no clear reason -- the original masculine/feminine pair here is like Johannes/Johanna, which explains nothing! It ends up in German as Johann and Johanna, and stress changes can induce vowel changes, but you'd expect that to work the other way round, with the unstressed O becoming shorter, so it seems to just be that "John" and "Joan" appeared at different times and the need to distinguish them kept the latter from drifting as far as the former. You can see the same general thing happening with "Steve" and "Steph", with the opposite gender/vowel length relationship.

So this isn't very systematic, obviously, and it hardly ever happens. But isn't it tempting to imagine us adopting a convention of gendering names by ablaut?

Bill (m.) -> Beele (f.)

Jeff (m.) -> Jafe (f.)

Bob (m.) -> Bobe (f.)

Dan (m.) -> Dane (f.)

Mike (m.) -> Make (f.)

Greg (m.) -> Graygue (f.)

Keith (m.) -> Kayth (f.)

Scott (m.) -> Scote (f.)

James (m.) -> Jymes (f.)

and so forth

On November 19th, 1789, Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria died. She was the second born child, and second daughter, of Maria Theresa and Francis I.

Deemed ineligible for marriage because of a physical disability, she had instead become an Abbess, which was a typical path for Royal Women who didn’t marry.

Her health began deteriorating in the winter of 1788, causing a shortness of breath and the inability for her to move without a wheelchair. She died the following year, leaving her entire inheritance to the monastery in Klagenfurt, where she had lived for many years. Her last words were said to have been:

“It is probably a good country, I’ve had it ever loving. There are good people with whom I lived happily and I leave with difficulty.”

Maria Anna was buried at Klagenfurt, one of four of her siblings not to be buried in the Imperial Crypt with their Habsburg ancestors

Downton Abbey is wild because the stakes are always either SUPER low or crazy high. It’s like, one episode is, “Who will win the gardening contest at the fair? Is the countess cheating?” And another episode is, “The eldest daughter’s fiancé died in the Titanic, then she hooked up with a Turkish diplomat, her first ever sexual experience, and he DIED IN HER BED DURING THE CONJUGAL ACT, and now she has to move his corpse back to his bed without being of suspected of murder, BECAUSE IT COULD START A WAR, and also if people find out she’s ‘damaged goods’ and she can’t find an advantageous match, her family will LOSE THEIR ANCESTRAL HOME!” Then the show’s like, “A maid wants to become a secretary! Will she beat the odds?”

[gilliflowersmaybe]

I need you guys to understand that all of these are real things that have happened on downton abbey and all of them were in the first season. This show is genuinely the wildest shit

Native American History Month / Figures ➵Weetamoo

“A severe and proud dame she was, bestowing every day in dressing herself neat as much time as any of the gentry of the land: powdering her hair, and painting her face, going with necklaces, with jewels in her ears, and bracelets upon her hands. When she had dressed herself, her work was to make girdles of wampum and beads.”

Weetamoo was the daughter of Corbitant, Sachem of present day North Tiverton, Rhode Island. Since she had no brothers, Weetamoo became Sunksqua (leader) of the Pocassets, a tribe of the Wampanoag confederacy. She was known as a skilled dancer, a fine beader & quillworker, and an effective leader, backed by an army of over 300 warriors. Her name is said to translate to  “She speaks to them”. Weetamoo is known to have had 5 husbands and at least two children. In her later years, she joined her brother in law in King Phillip’s war against the English, but drowned trying to cross the Taunton river, having lived her life defending the Wampanoag.
