The pickler: wanna know how i got these jars

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

current state of the internet is a FUCKING EMBARASSMENT. was chatting with my grandma bout the history of crochet and knitting (and the comparative ages of those respective technologies) and i was like "oh YEAH and also that ancient greek fiber art we partly figured out from chemically testing the scoured bleached pigments of stolen statuary (tumblr knows what im talking about)—gimme 30 seconds to look up the name."

5 minutes and 3 search-engines later i am crying tears of blood screaming spitting blubbering in despair as my grandma attempts to digitally pat me consolingly on the back. the library of alexandria didn't burn it was "restructured" to "increase shareholder profits"

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

and i STILL CANNOT FIND THE TERM.

i am scouring the internet like the victorians scoured and destroyed all trace of joy and color from stolen relics for the LOST NAME OF THE ANCIENT PROCESS of textile-creation akin to knitting/crocheting/nålebinding that at least one academic/crafter used to recreate the leggings on this Glorious Motherfucker:

the google execs erased it. they bleached my bestie AGAIN from history...

[lachrymose-lyricist]

is this of any use

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

SO IT IS!!!

Archer statue from the Temple of Aphaia (ca. 480 BC) next to a reconstruction of its original paint job:

The leggings and sleeves would have created using a method called SPRANG which predates knitting and is over 3,000 years old. What's even sexier is modern artisans managed to recreate the entire outfit using the original method!

Mmm-HMM, love me a shapely thigh in harlequin hosiery. Put👏men👏in👏clingy-ass👏clothing👏again👏👏👏

Unfortunately english sources are hard to find, partly because Google's a shithole, but also because this textile project comes from a German museum, in Germany, where people tend to speak (and publish) in German. That said, the original link is to a short-but-sweet article I would have had no problem finding in 30 seconds a mere few years ago. fortunately i have clever beautiful insane people following me, but alas not everyone has such luxury. thanks to everyone in the notes who shoved themselves down this rabbithole with me!

in conclusion let us take a moment to sincerely wish Google a very burn in hell🙏

You know technology literacy is dying because I saw this meme with 76k likes

F11 the full screen button? You’re scared of the full screen button? F10?? It opens the menu bar???

[boybeetles]

Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖

If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you

Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned

I suspect this was meant as a visual pun because this server is rated for 733 watts, almost exactly one metric horsepower

if it wasn’t for some kind of brain disease, we would all have forgotten this punchline. everyone say thank you some kind of brain disease

Hot take: we should also not be torturing incarcerated people with disgusting-on-purpose food, because they are human beings.

Ok yes im complaining again. the look that has been dubbed "modern trad" (Thank god we're finally calling it that because as someone whos super into 80s fashion it was infuriating to see people just calling it trad) while nice has started to bother me. no i dont give a shit how people dress or do their makeup thats their call. and i dont wanna be one of those people who are like "Ugh everyone looks the SAME unlike ME who is actually ORIGINAL and DIFFERENT" because thats also annoying. but seeing a shit ton of goths all doing that same look has caused a lot of baby bats to think "fuckkk i cant be goth i dont have straight black hair & perfect intricate eyeliner & white base makeup & a corset & that specific ankh belt & demonias....". i dont necessarily have a problem with the look itself or even people looking kinda same-y its the fact that since that specific style has become so prevalent its made people think that its the only way to do goth fashion. and it pisses me off. the entire point is to express yourself. if you enjoy that look then go right ahead but PLEASE i encourage you to think about what YOU like and not just whats popular. everything has gotten so commercialized and the nature of social media has made it so people care more about their image than ever and i hate to see people feel bad because they cant fit this specific mold.

[gothiccharmschool]

Do you know how often I get messages from sad people saying they can't be goth because they don't look like the "trad goth" (which is NOT what the OG goths looked like, and I'm also glad that it's finally being called "modern" trad) people they see on IG and tiktok? So, so often, and each time I feel simultaneously like I need to hug the person writing AND that I need to burn most social media to the ground.

Goths from the 70s/80s/90s and into the 2000s had to get creative with their looks because the few companies catering to our looks were hard to find and/or expensive. We made do with things we could find at mainstream stores and thrift stores. Rip the crotch out of a pair of fishnets to make a shirt, layer black slips, skirts, and blouses, tie scarves and shawls around your waist, wear that black velvet vest you found on holiday clearance from J.C. Penny's, go to the hardware store and buy chain and carabiner clips to make your own chain belts ... you get what I'm saying here, right?

Goth fashion doesn't have set-in-stone rules! Yes, goths wear a lot of black and often have intricate makeup, but not always. Goth is a "finding beauty in darkness" aesthetic! Do what you want within that guideline!

I'm reblogging this because of tags I want to comment on from @unicornskulls:

All of the tags relating to foundation, and how in the 90s it was mostly about going a shade or two lighter or darker are 100% correct. White foundation was for if you were doing some sort of costume, and you always blended it to cover your ears and neck. None of this stopping at the jawline weirdness. Seeing "friends don't let friends dress like the crow" in the tags made me smile, because that's a phrase that I created on Gothic Charm School. I'm delighted to see people still remember it! None of these things are "rules". NONE OF THEM. But know that also means there are no rules, dress how you want.
