Facebook kindly reminded me that it was 6 years ago that I encountered the stupidest ‘good intentions’ thing ever.
The person who brought us these two hummingbirds found their nest in a bush. And heard them peep. So they decided they were abandoned, cut the nest out of the bush, and brought them to my shelter.
It was one of those situations where you really don’t know what to say other “please don’t do that again.”
1700’s medical illustrators be like “hey boss can I put a rhinoceros behind this anotomically correct sketch of the human skeleton” and the boss be like “only for the books being published in these specific european countries” and then they high-five and go out for drinks
Medical illustrator:
France, Holland and Germany:
yoooo that’s Clara the rhinoceros - she was towed around Europe so much in the mid 18thc. as an exotic attraction that she became like a fad and all sorts of artists drew, painted, and sculpted her (and also randomly stuck her in the bkgds of anatomical drawings)
lol, for everyone asking about the ‘void face’ woman - she’s wearing a mask called a ‘vizard’ or ‘moretta’. they originally show up in late 16thc upper class European ladies fashion. They were worn while traveling to maintain a fashionably pale complexion, but they evolved over time to become a popular component of masquerades.
In Venice in particular, the style lingered and became popular to wear during Carnival, or as a way for upper class women to disguise their identity so they could engage in activities that might otherwise be considered improper (gambling, flirting, or just like… going about the city without a proper chaperone)
an interesting construction note - these masks weren’t tied on. They were made with a bead or button attached inside the mask which was held between the teeth. If a wearer wanted to speak, she would have to remove the mask.
I can not express how HYSTERICAL I am over the way my roommates decided to cut my cake
This is how I found it this morning and I am THIS CLOSE 👌🏻 to murdering someone
In case anyone wants an update, they left this minuscule square so they wouldn’t have to wash the plate. I am, and I can not stress this enough, LOSING MY MIND
Every morning the people around me wake up and they choose VIOLENCE
