A Peanut Lodged Inside a Child’s Trachea. This photo is a cross section of the lungs of a small child who died of suffocation, and provides a sobering example of how much of a hazard choking is for young children. ⠀ ⠀ Via @medicaltalks

today i learned that vikings exchanged swords as part of their wedding vows and i for one think we should bring that back

[brunhiddensmusings]

they also -were given a cat, considered an essential household item everyone should have much like weddings today include cookware as gifts -unlike today the wedding dress wasnt particularly important, but both the bride and groom were encouraged to have the most epic hair they could -were given enough mead to keep them both drunk for a full month as they cement their new life together, literally the origin of ‘honey-moon’ -roast goat, traditional and delicious

““When I was about 20 years old, I met an old pastor’s wife who told me that when she was young and had her first child, she didn’t believe in striking children, although spanking kids with a switch pulled from a tree was standard punishment at the time. But one day, when her son was four or five, he did something that she felt warranted a spanking–the first in his life. She told him that he would have to go outside himself and find a switch for her to hit him with. The boy was gone a long time. And when he came back in, he was crying. He said to her, “Mama, I couldn’t find a switch, but here’s a rock that you can throw at me.” All of a sudden the mother understood how the situation felt from the child’s point of view: that if my mother wants to hurt me, then it makes no difference what she does it with; she might as well do it with a stone. And the mother took the boy into her lap and they both cried. Then she laid the rock on a shelf in the kitchen to remind herself forever: never violence. And that is something I think everyone should keep in mind. Because if violence begins in the nursery one can raise children into violence.””
