This is also true with filmmakers. Western filmmakers pan their cameras mostly left to right and Iranian filmmakers do right to left.

Time seems such a universal concept and then I find out the different ways people perceive everything and remember “it’s all appearances to consciousness”

But the coolest part of that time-direction study, was there didn’t seem to be a consistent pattern to how aboriginal Australians arranged the images, until it was realized that the issue was where the participant was sitting, because they were consistently arranging them East to West.

Because these languages have absolute direction. They don’t use left/right, but north/south/etc.

Yeah that tracks

There was a TikTok post about an advertisement for “blood-making pills for weak women” someone found in a newspaper from the 1890s and everybody seemed to think it was just an example of the weird misogyny of the day and age but no. Anemia was a massive public health concern. It always has been through history but part of the reason we have this idea of old timey women thought history being physical weak, chronically cold and pale and fainting is because they often they were. Anemia was also a massive problem for men in that day but even now it disproportionally affects people who menstruate. So tonics full of stimulants and “healthful vitamins” were marketed at young women in pages upon pages of advertisements in every newspaper. People generally felt like shit all the time back then.

I've seen old folk remedies for anemia, particularly cooking with cast iron and putting rusty nails in an apple, leaving them in overnight, then removing the nails and eating the rust-infused apple.

It was A Whole Thing.

What’s interesting is that that would have worked better than a lot of the ‘medicines’ being hawked during that time. To this day, adding a small chunk of iron to a cooking pot with a mild acid is being used to prevent iron deficient anemia.

Yep! Absolutely. It was a much more pervasive and deadly problem throughout history because of a lack of dietary variety and medical science not completely understanding the needs of the human body. Now it is less common because many foods are fortified with additional minerals and multivitamins are inexpensive and widely available.

people forget but before enriched flour people DIED like all the time of pellagra. a literal vitamin deficiency. people also died of tooth decay... until antibiotics and floriated water. people died and were paralyzed for life because they swam in the summer, or just drank water, or ate out at a restaurant of polio and cholera and typhoid until vaccines and effective health codes. it was expected that like a third of all kids born would die from things the MMR vaccine prevents.

learning about the history of public health is SO important to understanding why scary chemicals are WAY less scary than life without them.

The commitment to the bit! The t-shirt that names the over-the-counter pain killer this man will have to take after this Oscar-winning performance!

The 18th century was wild bro. Some guy could write an entire pamphlet accusing you of being gay while being dressed like this.

This would do numbers on tumblr.

who the fuck discovered time travel in 2017

serious post time but i’m thinking about the butches and studs who didn’t get to grow up with their true expression or even their sexuality, period. maybe had parts of it but never the full picture. who didn’t have a queer friend group in school. the ones who were closeted, surrounded by straight girls, or by straight boys, underwater, for years. hiding in plain sight. the studs and butches who found it easier or safer to simply be alone. the butches who didn’t find any kind of alt or nerdy space to get a little of that safety, that breathing room, either because you simply didn’t have those interests or those spaces weren’t available where you lived. the studs who didn’t or couldn’t find safety and expression in athletics, either. the butches who were loud, to fill that hollowness they felt, the butches who were quiet, as if to disappear. the butches who did their hair and makeup every day. the studs who grew their hair as long as they could get away with and avoided mirrors. the butches who dated guys as a “straight girl.” the butches who dated girls as a “straight guy.”

you should be proud of your journey, whatever it looked like. whatever you did to survive, and all the moments you were able to stop doing those things. i know that person in your prom photos is so proud of you.

put some respect on tim jacobus' name
