Introductory post

where I disclose my interests so people can see how cool I am and maybe interact with me

hi so this blog is mostly about history/politics (frev, 7yw, wwi, argentinian/american history, maths history, philosophy) those are my biggest interests but I also dabble in interwar politics, vexillology and philology.

apart from that I'm also into IDV, The Desert Peach, musicals, POTP, Amadeus1984, Sherlock Holmes (not BBC), Ivor Novello and/or 1920s cinema, films in general and MORE.....

also I have ocs and I love them dearly. They are all historical ocs from frev... wwi... 1920s...1960s... ask me about them and I'll be forever grateful.

I'm very cool I promise. Enjoy my blog although I still do not have a clue how to use tumblr.

As it turns out, there was such a thing as Culturally/Politically Topical Embroidery on Men’s Waistcoats. It started post-1783, but, for obvious reasons, gained steam post-1789. Some had a bust of Rousseau (or Voltaire, depending on which side in that particular argumentative fandom one took) embroidered on theirs, some had scenes from the theatrical comedies they liked, some had symbols of the unity of three estates of the nation against the royal despotism, such as the episcopal crook, the sword, and the spade bundled together in a sheaf.

Some just went for slogans, such as “vaincre ou mourir” (victory or death).

The decline and fall of this fashion craze came in about 1792, when the Journal de la mode et du goût reported men's waistcoats had become almost universally red ("gilets presque tous rouges"), and that the journal had virtually stopped describing men's fashion because it had ceased to change.

Which is a shame. I vote to bring politically snarky waistcoats back.

it is genuinely so unbelievably annoying to be a child trafficking survivor and have to listen to people argue about shadows on the wall when it comes to children’s rights and child abuse prevention. the only true way to prevent child abuse is to take away parental control. give children rights. give them the education, resources, and rights to say yes or no to whatever and whoever they desire. i know what would have helped me. i’m so mind numbingly sick of all of this. everyone wants to feel like a hero, but nobody wants to help anyone.

there is not a pedophile cabal hiding in the shadows waiting to kidnap children. parents are the number one perpetrators of child sexual abuse. my kidnapper was my mother. my traffickers were all paid by her and had legal custody over me. i was forced thru constant manual labor and sexual humiliation in the name of “therapy” because parents are allowed to do whatever they want with the children they own. the end of adult supremacy is the only way to end child abuse.
