âHow would a chicken wear pants?â
- Richard Beale, 1784
this week in I Am Very Smart: having enough money to go to the opera, museums and concerts correlates with having enough money for food, shelter and basic health needs
They controlled for socioeconomic factors though! The people who conducted this study knew that people with lots of money to attend the opera were also more likely to be able to afford basic necessities, so they controlled for it in their analysis. The fun thing about statistics is that you can control for different confounding factors so you can look at the effects of one independent variable (opera or whatever) on the dependent variable (mortality). Part of being critical of potential biases is actually reading the article and knowing what to look for.
In addition to that very good point about controlling for socioeconomic factors, the article says a single museum or concert per year makes a difference. Most cities have free community concerts (some even have free opera performances!) and museums that are either free, pay-what-you-want, or at least have specific days/times during which they are free or at a significantly reduced cost. Many libraries (which are free) provide free museum passes to card holders. In fact, the article quotes a museum worker who works at a free art museum in Baltimore.
If you actually read the article you would also read that educators are excited about this study because it provides evidence that the arts should be made more accessible financially - by restoring arts programs in the public schools, for example.
Also, âAdvocates said the study was also a reminder of how critical it is for the arts to be more accessible to Americans of all incomes.â Linking to the article so itâs easier for people to get to cos itâs a good read.
bestie i hope you heal from the things you donât share with anyone
All of my life, everyone has always told me, âYouâre a shoe! Youâre a shoe, youâre a shoe, youâre a shoe!â And then today I just stopped and I said, âWhat if I donât wanna be a shoe? What if I wanna be a purse, yâknow? Or a- or a hat!â No, I donât want you to buy me a hat, Iâm saying that I am a hat. Itâs a metaphor, Daddy!
JENNIFER ANISTON as RACHEL GREEN Friends | Season 1 (1994-1995)
Canât believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s
And in 2015 Emily BrontĂŤ released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights
Thank God someone paved the way for themâŚ
if you think jk was the first woman author, you donât actually care about women authors.
Mary Shelley didnt fuck on her parents graves for this level of disrespect
Murasaki Shikibu didnât invent the novel for this.
Christine de Pizan did not sit down at her desk and write The Book of the City of Ladies, advocating for womenâs education and finding value in women of all social classes and backgrounds, in 1405 for this.
đśSHAHARIZADE HAD A THOUSAND TALESđś
ThisâŚâŚâŚ.isnât even true in 20th century fantasy or childrens books? Pierce, Lackey, Applegate, McCaffrey, Bradley, Butler, whomst?
Casual reminder that
a woman was the first known author/poet in 2300BC - Enheduanna
the first novel in recorded history was written by a woman in 1010AD - Murasaki Shikibu
the earliest example of science fiction was written by a woman in 1666 - Margaret Cavendish
horror science fiction was popularised by a teenage girl in 1818 - Mary Shelley
a Scotswoman expanded childrensâ stories from moralising tales into anarchic adventures in the mid 1800s, well before it became popular in the early 20th century - Catherine Sinclair
the masked/costumed hero archetype that inspired Batman and Zorro was created by a woman in 1905 - Baroness Emma Orczy
And while she is problematic as all get out, we all know who is to blame for popularising Boarding School fiction (which is a huge inspiration of She Who Must Not Be Named) from the 1930s onwards - Enid Blyton
And do I even need to mention what a badass pioneer Ursula Le Guin was for women author in the fantasy/sci-fi genre?
Not to mention Agatha Christie is literally second only to Shakespeare in terms of works sold â 4 billion compared to JKRâs paltry 500 millionÂ
Mary Shelly did what
Mary.Shelly.Lost.Her.Virginity.On.Her.Parentâs.Grave.

Mary Shelley walked so bone-stealing Tumblr witches could run

IâM ON TUMBLR. WEâRE ALL ON TUMBLR.
Itâs my grandpaâs birthday next week and he said âI donât want to be 85â and my grandmother, his wife of 59 and a half years, said âwell your only alternative is to dieâ, I canât believe how affectionate they are
I was having lunch with them today and my grandpa started throwing napkins at my grandmother, and she balled it up and looked all set to throw it back but then she put it down and said âI will not throw it because I was brought up properly, you were draggedâ she has spent ž of her life with this man
I thought Iâd let you know how theyâve been getting on during lockdown, so hereâs some of the FaceTime conversation from today:
âMy goodness, the way technology is advancing - in 20 years weâll be able to shake hands through the screen!â
âRex, I donât think weâll be here in 20 years.â
âWell you can make your own plans, I shall only be 109.â
Whatâs up friends, itâs been 3 years, grandpa has made it to 88 and theyâve been married 62.5 years! Please enjoy another instalment:
Grandpa: the new packs are.. itâs.. what is it. It self destructs
Grandma : biodegradable, Rex.
