Théodore Gudin - Smugglers' cave in the moonlight (1866)

[lipstickhamlet]

something about the way shakespeare's plays are positioned to just barely cover the untold tragedies lurking underneath. lady macbeth knows how tender the babe is that milks her yet the macbeths have no child to pass the crown to. iago mentions that othello saw his own brother shot to pieces by cannons. olivia was planning to grieve her brother for 7 years until she met viola. beatrice knew benedick of old. lady capulet was only fourteen when she gave birth to juliet. it drives me crazy to see all the untold stories peeking out between the lines of the main plot.

Some of the contents of the north room of a blacksmith's house on Concord Road in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1785.

I'm turning the entire probate court inventory/assessment of his belongings into an (approximately) 15-page zine. So far, I'm about halfway done.

I love this project. It feels like I'm snooping through someone's house or poking around an estate sale, and I'm having a lot of fun researching the objects and looking up period examples in museum collections and antiques auction sites.

"oh food now has so much added to it, past food was so pure and untainted" victorians used to cut bread with chalk and aluminum powder. romans put lead in the wine, which was made from dirty feet mushing unwashed grapes covered in horse shit and road dust. i think our species will survive a few additives in food. our food systems have never been cleaner and safer. it has room for improvement, but we're not putting fucking plaster of paris in the milk

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.
