I found this really beautiful personal vanity/travel case in a charity shop in Bristol, UK. I’d love to know its story, or at least era. Who is E.E.R?!

shiftythrifting

Found at an antique shop in Astoria, OR. A lot of neat things there, but this typewriter was my fav and the “Antique Birthing Chair” for $259.00 was the biggest wtf. As per the sign, babies were born on that chair. There was also a huge binder in a glass case filled with pages and pages of pogz for $50 I wish I’d had the time to look through (not pictured, sorry)

Elections in Brazil are this Sunday (Oct 7) and we…. are in kind of trouble… as an actual fascist is competing and has super high vote intentions

Picture it this way: if Trump is evil. Bolsonaro is the Devil himself. I’m saying that as an informed person who lives in Brazil and has plenty of indo on Trump, as the US is pretty much the center of the world. A comparison is possible. Do not take my word for it: The Economist just did a dossier about him, and I reccommend you take a look for yourselves there and other sources.

Bozo’s supporters are callous, violent, and have not/will not stop attacking people on the street, both verbally and physically, and spreading the fakest news you’ve ever seen (it’s actually Russia levels of firehosing). A large part of those people support/justify the 25 year long military dictatorship we had in Brazil (1964-1985), which featured torture, persecution, and whose culprits were given amnesty.

And I need you to know that in Brazil, voting is mandatory for anyone between the ages of 18 and 60. If you can’t vote, you still need to go to a voting station and justify not voting. Although there are strict rules about propaganda near/inside voting stations, i gotta remind y’all

violent fascists are going to vote.

and all kinds of people are going to be there

I might be over-worrying, I’m legitimately scared about skirmishes and violence in voting posts.

We need to have information about this spread around the internet. There’s little normal people can do except learn about the political landscape in your backyard. Keep in mind that, if elected, he’ll be close to Trump in many regards. Keep in mind that he defended torturers publicly, and was blatantly racist, sexist (even inciting rape in public towards a colleague), and LGBTphobic.

MORE, OR AS MUCH AS, TRUMP HAS EVER BEEN.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Please inform yourselves. This is not something far away in world (although that deserves your attention too). This is going to affect all the Americas directly. You need to know what’s happening.

Also, please, check on your Brazilian friends. make sure they’re safe. If the fascist is elected, there’s a good chance some will try to flee the country, or will have to be in hiding. Trump is bad enough, Bozo will be a lot worse. We don’t have the eyes of the world on us, like America, violence can run free.

People who want to add info: please do

PLEASE share this post and/or more info on what’s going on, but keep in mind that this is about the Thingo, not about supporting your candidate (we’re all to be on the same side on this specific point)

grimly-fiendish

the middle and upper class and the majority of white brazilians who live in the southern part of the country benefited greatly during the dictatorships during the 20th century so of course they would think an open fascist taking over as a positive. they view hardline military policies (that target favelas, afro brazilian and indigenous areas) as the only solution to the high crime rate. it’s SUPER important to keep an eye on the situation, not only because it affects over 200 million people in Brazil, but because it sets a precedent for the fascist right wing parties in other parts of South America to take over

morbidology

In a medieval cemetery in Nyárlőrinc, Hungary, architects discovered a premature baby buried in a jar. In the baby’s hand was a copper coin for the baby to “pay” for passage through to heaven. The copper in the coin mummified the baby’s hand.

Underwater Archaeology in Greece

The Antikythera shipwreck is a Roman-era shipwreck dated to have sunk in the first century BC. During excavation, many sculptures were found, including remnants of the world’s oldest analog computer, known as the Antikythera Mechanism. It dates back to 200 BC. Today, people can still visit these underwater wrecks.

“In Peru, many archeological pieces were stolen in the Huaqueos, the name given to the pillage of the Huacas, which in Quechua means ‘sacred place or a temple.’ Nowadays, the term Huaca is also used for an archeological site. In March 2018, nearly 500 ancient looted artifacts, missing for centuries, were returned to Peru’s Cultural Ministry after they were recovered from locations in Argentina, Mexico, the United States and the United Kingdom.”
