historical research, but make it punk. i really just want to be a fucking nerd and build in motivation natively

i’m disassociating a bit right now due to the deluge of info i’ve been swallowing down today, but i want to get an intro out there. so here’s the bullet points

historical eras, but do it punk

think steampunk, but i’m not fucking looking at victorians unless i come across something *really* special (or if i decide that i need to get my nipples pierced, then i’ll say it’s historical research and do a bit on victorians)

diy af

i’ve already made 2 punk jackets for a timepunk costume (rococo and women’s suffrage, to be specific) and they’re both thrifted and covered with small artist/non profit patches and pins. i said, do it punk

this is definitely not an excuse to keep making these things and having a few dozen punk jackets for different eras

so much fashion

look, i love historical fashion. it’s the coolest shit. what’s more revealing about a person than the clothes they choose and the trends of their time?

also hair and makeup, obvs

historical accuracy

i have a history degree, specifically a public history degree

it’s cool, no one knows what public history is. i call it translation. i learned how to speak academic so i could translate it into my native language, southern american millenial white trash. i also speak a bit of midwest and western american white trash, so don’t worry, it’ll be comprehensible to everyone

history is important shit

knowing the past only better prepares us to live in our current world and our current world is complicated fuckery

i just really love history, ok, and if it’s not accurate then why tf am i doing it?

literally the reason i’m doing this is because i love history and i miss writing research papers, because i’m that fucking nerd. but i need some direction so i can actually do the thing, because i’m also that adhd (literally). also, i really fucking love handicrafts and diy and textile art and all that shit, and i do it anyway, so i’m gonna put it all together. i’m gonna make an outfit, complete with custom jacket, and do a bunch of write ups related to the things i choose to put on the jacket. and by write ups, i mean, i’m gonna record this as a podcast and then post pictures, instructions, transcripts, sources, etc here. i’m gonna start with my women’s suffrage outfit and then go back to my rococo outfit. after that, i’ll be looking for something new to do. i’m happy to take suggestions, as long as it isn’t the fucking victorians.

The best soundtrack for reading about late 19th century political corruption starts with Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's WAP.

just a heads up, this is a woodrow wilson hate production.

[timepunked]

reminder ^^^

[timepunked]

it took me almost an hour to get through a 30 min prologue. fury. rage. fuck woodrow wilson.

im gonna have to go pull out the "indoor snowball fight" snowballs so i can throw things every time i get angry

[timepunked]

ok, this author has just called post-stroke woodrow wilson an "emotionally unstable and delusional creature." seriously, dude. gross

[timepunked]

it was a long, unannounced hiatus, i know. mental illness is a hell of a drug, y'all. but im back and jumping right into the fucking deep end. 35 hours of audio book on woodrow fucking wilson

expect many anti woodrow wilson posts for the next, idk, decade while i make my way through this

[timepunked]

I detest this pattern. I had no idea how many "*inhale* um" I did in my regular speech until now...

the key to a successful podcast is to sit in front of your computer with the recording software and your outline open and panic

episode 2 is live!

women's suffrage, but do it punk

tbh, women's suffrage is about as punk as it gets. ladies challenging the status quo, getting arrested for it, changing the world.

This is how you draft scripts, right?

Coffee in hand, staring blankly at your computer.

At least the mug is thematically appropriate for the women's suffrage episode.

the first episode is live!

i have officially published my intro episode! you can find it here and on spotify and youtube. i’m waiting for approval from stitcher and apple podcasts and will post those links when they’re live.

PBS documentary on Woodrow Wilson:

"Well, yes, he was a rabid racist but, you see, he was a Southerner."

Me, also a Southerner:

He WaS a SoUtHeRnEr

Even if that was an excuse for his shitty behavior, he lived in the Jersey and Philly area his *entire* adult life. And if he was such a moral man, passionate about his faith, a deep thinker, he wouldn't have been a FUCKING RACIST

just a heads up, this is a woodrow wilson hate production.

y'all, reading white newspaper accounts of lynchings is disgusting. my face is going to be stuck in a permanent scowl and sneer. ida b. wells was a fucking hero. the way she lets white people speak about lynching in their own terms before she offers a rebuttal is incredible

[timepunked]

this is what i've been up to this last couple of days. stitching on my jacket while standing in line, crocheting while watching a documentary about ida b. wells, and getting my shit together in my "home office". eowyn has appointed herself supervisor. she sleeps on the job a lot, so it's not bad.
