Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

least favourite online phenomenon:

> woman A is good at a craft she has spent years honing and which is her main source of income

> woman B in the comments: i wish i could be a housewife and then i would have time to do this for my husband </3 cruel modernity and umm capitalism have stopped me from learning this*

*this is woman A's full time job. in this capitalist economy

Back in the early 2000s there was a whole movement about listening to your body, and being the expert in your body, and then that just stopped because it turns out doctors do NOT like it when patients say they know something.

The tumblr experience is having politics that make the most left leaning progressive you know irl blush and then logging on here and getting called a bootlicker fascist because you said that you dont think we should make the reign of terror happen again

[ceasarslegion]

Me irl: the problem isnt taxes, youre thinking too small. The problem is that the federal government isnt taxing the right people the right amount. Theyre taking all our extra cash in our measly little wealth bracket and letting the billionaires hang on to more money than they can ever spend in a lifetime. The only way anybody gets a single billion is either through exploitation or inheriting it from someone else who did the exploitation, nobody who has that kind of money earned it legitimately. Not only do we need to strip that back into social safety nets for those of us theyre bleeding dry instead, but they need to establish hard laws and regulations to prevent that kind of exploitation from happening in the first place!

My coworkers: man, youre a real red-card commie, aren't you? You gonna start telling us to vote NDP and that healtcare isnt a scam too? Jesus christ go give someone else your goddamn revolution pamphlets, lenin.

Me on tumblr: while i appreciate the animosity towards billionaires, i dont think literally dragging a guillotine into the streets and beheading people as a public spectacle is going to actually solve the problems inherent in the system considering the french already tried that and it didnt work out well for them. Also i dont think anybody has the right to decide who lives and who dies, im pretty anti death penalt-

Tumblr users: how does that boot taste, fascist?

sorry but i actually don't think everyone would be chill with sabrina carpenter posting a photo of her nude genitals on instagram given that last year when she pantomimed getting eiffel towered (fully clothed btw) as a joke about performing in paris, there was a full week of discourse about what a disgusting degenerate pedo-baiting pervert she is for doing that IN FRONT OF CHILDREN!!! no less. i think this is the kind of thing you only post when your identity-focused activism has narrowed your experience of the world to the point where you don't actually notice other people experiencing -isms that aren't the one you're primarily concerned about. and to that i say, get a grip girl

I've complained about this before but ngl I hate how most gluten free food sold in stores is also vegan and low fat and low sugar and all that, bcs I think that people who are gluten free but not vegan or on a diet deserve food that's just gluten free, and vegans that don't have allergies deserve food that isn't gluten free, and people who can't have too much sugar or fat deserve non-vegan non-gluten free food.

Also as someone with POTs who needs a lot of salt so much gluten free food also being "health" food makes it less healthy for me. I need salt and sugar and fat!!

If there is any justice in this universe the diet industry will one day know my wrath.

Trying to find good vegetarian sushi when you’re allergic to avocado is quite the process let me tell you

I am so fucking serious about more medical shows needing to be sent in poorly funded hospitals where the staff is fighting for human life AND an uphill battle against the hospital itself. I think so many popular medical shows being set it frankly utopian university & research hospitals with cutting edge tech and the ability to run any test and do any procedure paints a false picture of what medicine is like for the majority of people.

i think Carter Vaughn would react to being propositioned for a gay threesome by hollanov the same way he'd react to someone asking him to help them move, like "yeah sure no problem. you're buying the pizza and beer haha. what day?" and they're like, "do you actually want to?" and he shrugs and he's like "sure, why not? if i'm free." and they're like, "but like, are you attracted to us?" and he's like "of course man, you're a couple of fucking beauties" and they're like, "but are you gay..? or..bi?" and he's like, "OH! no. no i'm not, sadly. straight as an arrow ahaha but i'll still do the threesome if you want me to! i've done it before. it was a good time!" and hollanov would just blink at him like wtf do we do with that

also, crucially, i believe that if they did actually go through with it, the whole time he'd be like "fuck yeah bro! nice!" and really mean it (and the extreme straight jockbro-y-ness would probably really work for shane)

I have personal level of beef with those rats

[homunculus-argument]

I love following people with niche Fancy interests and having no idea what they're talking about. Like they'll be like

"I finally gave in to the peer pressure and went to see the [theatre house I have never heard of] production of [play I have never heard of] and after writing my own review of it I eyed some other peoples' opinions and I don't know what the hell this New York Times writer was smoking or whose production they actually accidentally saw instead of the one that I did, but not only was this not the first or only production of [the play] to use a real live chicken on the stage, it's a fucking cliché in theatre groups and I might actually have to go fight this guy."

what’s crazy about being in your late 20s is that you’ve only been an adult for a decade and people are really out here believing your life is over
