Jac + Cat

@jacpluscat.bsky.social

Loves cats (duh!), reading, video games, TV, crafts, history, words, and it's possible I like too many things. Hate racists, far right-wingers, and selfish twats. LGBTQ+ ally (or try to be!). I'm sure it will all make sense eventually. She/her

Just a friendly reminder that you’re not being “unreasonable” if you wish to pull a book from a bookshelf and find that it opens a secret door. If anyone tells you otherwise, they were never your friend to begin with.

I try to remember that whenever we talk about how much of a fucked up horror show the world is, what we mean is that the world is full of good people being wronged and beauty being destroyed, that we risk losing all of it—not a denial of the good in the world but its affirmation.

A conspiracy board of the evolution of a fake medieval hat from one 18th century drawing of a rotting wooden sculpture outside a now-demolished chateau which was missing some important parts but is now ensconced in (bad) fashion histories as canon. None of these hats ever existed. #FashionHistory

As described. The hat is a sort of "V" shaped bourrelet roll but instead of being propped on a substantial frame it is hovering almost in midair nailed to a rudimentary henin. Nothing like this exists in any verified actual medieval source. All images postdate the 18th century drawing.

Bluesky tip: If you're finding your timeline quiet, aside from checking out the feeds, go to the profile of an account you find interesting, see who they follow, and follow some of those people. And then follow some of the people THEY follow. Your timeline will perk right up.
