Craftsmanship markets are wild.
You can find the most random stuff there; beeswax candles carved in the shape of bees, a carpenter taking orders for Japanese wooden lanterns, ceramic glazers selling mugs, or someone selling panties made from actual (presumably her own) human hair!
Love seeing something from TikTok and going “girlie that is literally what led to the downfall of the Papal States”
Jewish baby named Edgardo Mortara is seemingly about to die in Bologna, 1851
Catholic nanny secretly baptises him to save his soul, which she’s not exactly the kind of authority who can do that, but w/e, it’s interpreted by the church as valid later
Kid survives
1857 her secret gets out, a baptising makes a kid a Catholic according to the Church and a Catholic can’t be raised in a non-Catholic household in the Papal States, so the church authorises the police to kidnap Edgardo from his family
Raised personally by Pope Pius IX, Jewish family not allowed to take him back due to Church doctrine, this action destroys the family with grief and despair
This case gets international infamy with the Pope not understanding why everyone’s shiting on him for doing this, including allies
Emperor Napoleon III shifts from opposing Italian unification to supporting it as a direct consequence
Bologna falls the next year, 1859
Kingdom of Italy forms 1861
By 1870 Rome is lost to the Italians and the Papal States are no more
(Edgardo Mortara goes on to become Father Mortara)
(He dies in Belgium in 1940 three months before the Nazis occupied the nation, which if he’d have lived he would’ve been persecuted as a Jew)
Wikipedia confirms
Fun fact: the Catholic Church did not stop doing this after Edgaro Mortara. During WW2, many Jewish children were put in convents or catholic-run orphanages for their own safety. Sounds nice right? Except after the war ended, when parents or surviving relative went back to claim their children, the church went, “uhhh, actually they’re catholic now, no take backs!”
The most infamous of these cases was the Finaly affair. Two Jewish children in France, Robert and Gerald Finaly, were placed in a Catholic nursery in 1944 in anticipation of their parents being deported to Auschwitz, where they were both murdered. Their aunt, Marguerite Fischel, survived the war and went to find the boys so she could take them to live with her. However, the nun who had custody of the boys, Antoinette Brun, adamantly refused to give them up, reportedly saying that “The Jews are not grateful”
What followed was a years long custody battle where despite being repeatedly ordered by courts all over Europe to return the boys, Brun took them to many different countries and hid them, with the support and help of other nuns and priests. It was suspected at the time, and later confirmed by documents released in 2020, that Pope Pius XII had supported the effort to keep the boys away from their surviving family and have them be raised Catholic.
Thankfully, after negotiations between a sympathetic cardinal in France and the chief Rabbi of Paris, the boys were finally recovered and reunited with their aunt.
Documents reveal the private discussions behind both Pope Pius XII’s silence about the Nazi deportation of Rome’s Jews in 1943 and the Vatic
I wish I could say that the phenomenon of the Catholic Church kidnapping children and keeping them away from their families for the purposes of forcefully raising them Catholic is unique to Jews, but it’s not. From the mid nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century, the Church ran hundreds of residential schools in the US and Canada where indigenous children were kidnapped from their homes and forced into these cruel and inhumane “schools”. The children were forbidden from speaking their own languages or practicing their own cultures and religions, their hair was cut, and they were subject to emotional, verbal, spiritual, physical, and sexual abuse. Many of the children died due to malnutrition or medical neglect, their bodies buried like dogs beside the schools. The Catholic Church was not the only Church to participate in this, but they’ve been the most reluctant to fully acknowledge and apologize for it. It was only in 2022 that Pope Francis apologized on behalf of the Catholic Church for their part, but some people found the apology inadequate.
Idk what my point is here, just that there’s such a clean link between evangelizing, cultural/religious imperialism, and how damaging and horrifying a religion can be when it is thoroughly convinced of its own superiority. And that unless an institution is forced to change, it probably won’t change on its own.
WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME VORUNA WAS THIS FUN TO PLAY????

Thought about the Muck Bonnet again.
Muck is a heavily-used Solaris slang term for "fuck"
and a bonnet is a type of funny little hat.
These mushrooms are called FUCK HATS.
I can see why
Spoon in the shape of a fish. Carved from some Sycamore I found just outside Wivenhoe, Essex.

Posts that prove that despite about 300 thousand years of technological development, humanity at its core hasn't really changed all that much
erm where are we guys im scared
White Fear has always been funny (ironic) to me. It's like, imagine a white person walking in the room, perpetually paranoid of everyone of Color around them, of being The Murderer because "look how strange they're all acting around me, they must be suspicious. And yet, THEY'RE the one covered in blood and holding the knife, the body count number floating over their head.
Like, Buddy, yeah we're acting weird, YOU'RE the one that WE gotta be worried about 😭. I'm scared of YOU.
To use a US specific example, it's like how there's so much fearmongering of being victims of Black and Latino men with guns and gun violence, a violence that white people usually don't even experience because they're not even in the same spaces.
But the demographic most likely to be a domestic terrorist, the mass shooters, the ones that find diverse places and murder people... Are white men. When I go to the store, to church, to work, to the movies, to school, the odds that the person who will walk in and decide to Let Fly is a white man! That's something we have to keep in our minds every day!
But somehow this has not made everyone that "matters" (I.e., other white people) deathly afraid of white men, despite actually, statistically fitting the mold, in comparison to the heightened stereotype of Black and Latino men being gun wielding thugs. Goes to show the power and projection of white supremacy.

For thousands of years humanity has selectively bred chickens to have larger breasts and to have to lay eggs constantly. We did it to get more meat and per chicken, but from the perspective of the domesticated chickens they’re sorta living in a very specific fetish scenario
The first tags I see on this are absolutely inspired. Incredible pervert lesbian website.

literally never get tired of act 1 arknights
i love the reunion tragedy, i love amiya's growing disillusion with the state and the powers that be, i love the most patriotic man in the world being someone who abandoned his country to fight for the people, i love the ''hardass cop lady'' archetype quitting her job because she realizes that she is just a puppet of a country that does not care about the underprivileged, i love 'the anger and hatred of the oppressed is a sword that must be wielded carefully to avoid becoming a tool for our oppressors', i love the majority of the terrorist forces moving on with renewed purpose rather than being turned over to an authority to be judged for their crimes
the TSA's dick detector is the epitome of security theater. how many times have you ACTUALLY caught a woman trying to smuggle a small bomb in her panties
i mean average sized bomb
wow if only everyone warned you about AI hallucination.
Maybe it would help people stop making these kinds of mistakes (and falling for AI advertising that claims that it can handle this sort of thing) if we explain that generative AI actually never “hallucinates,” because that would require it to have a mind that can perceive and believe.
Instead, it’s doing exactly what it was designed to do, as a Large Language Model: it’s stringing a whole bunch of sentences and paragraphs together as an ultra-sophisticated autocomplete.
Sometimes those ultra-sophisticated autocompleted sentences, when interpreted by humans, will appear to be true. Other times, they will appear to be false. The AI itself has no idea whether its outputs are true or false—in fact, it has no idea what “true” and “false” mean, or what anything means. It’s just a pattern-recognition algorithm going “This word often follows that word in this context” a few dozen or hundred times in sequence until it finally goes “This word often ends things in this context” and stops.
Let’s all stop using and expecting fancy autocomplete to do anything except fancily autocomplete—especially when the people trying to sell it to us claim it can do so much more.
"Mario Mario" is an anachronism. He and his brother were only ever referred to by mononyms in their lifetime, like most residents of the Mushroom Kingdom at the time - multi-part names were typically reserved for members of the Toadstool dynasty, and even these were more like titles or Roman cognomina than what we would call a surname today. His putative ennoblement as founder of the "House of Mario" came centuries later as the collapsing feudal order sought additional sources of legitimacy
#mushroom kingdom folklore says that he sleeps beneath a warp pipe to arise in the time of the kingdom's greatest need #he's definitely shown up a few times but it's hard to tell if he has risen from the dead or is just in the middle of some time travel shit #historians hate him.
While the historical evidence for Mario having a younger brother is quite concrete, the name of said brother is less certain. "Luigi" is generally held to originate with a separate figure from a series of chthonic myths, who originally served as a sort of psychopomp charged with capturing spirits that escaped the underworld. The strongest case for a contemporary figure named Luigi comes from the Waffle Kingdom sagas; however, this Luigi's brother is a gladiator named Gonzales.

Tenno with all due respect. What the fuck is this game about
This is how much time I spent playing last year and I'll be so super straight with you: I have no fuckin idea 💀💀💀
It's about being a anticapitalistic mushroom
