The Lincoln Assassination is really just wild if you think about it for a moment. The younger brother of one of the most famous actors in the country- himself a famous actor and heartthrob in his own right- killed the President in a theatre and yelled “Sic semper tyrannis,” a line often associated with Brutus, a character that his brother had famously played.

Like, imagine if Liam Hemsworth killed the Prime Minister of Australia at a red carpet movie premiere or something and yelled “I went for the head,” and Chris had to leave the Avengers press tour to tell everyone, “I swear I had nothing to do with this.” Imagine how weird that would be.

…a whole history major and yet this post is the first time I’ve fully appreciated the weirdness of the Lincoln assassination

Exactly! If cops can stop at burger king for the white murderer on the way in, then why tf can’t they at least not kill the black suspects?

HEY VATICAN GIVE US OUR STUFF BACK

(I’m looking through the archive and I cannot count on my fingers how many of these documents are ones that I learned were “lost to history” and that we “don’t have early manuscripts of” or are “missing the questions to the responsa” and we’re not! They’re not! The Vatican has them!)

I assumed this was going to be about the Menorah

But it was worse, somehow

Yeah, I mean there are the originals of Gaonic responsa literature, copies of rashi’s commentary dated to the century he lived in, Babylonian Talmud pages from before the 10th century, richly illustrated prayer books and tehillim that are dated and placed to inquisition-era Spain but sure as hell don’t mention the fact that they were looted off of the people the church murdered, a Sefer Torah from the 12TH CENTURY, just. So much. So much and they have no right to any of it.

no you know what I’m not done. We have been begging for hundreds of years, politely, academically, kindly, for the Vatican to return what it stole. Or if not that, to allow for Jewish scholars to have access to their archives (the number of questions and arguments that resulted from divergent manuscripts later in history that these documents could solve!) or if not that then at least acknowledge that fact that these documents were at best stolen, most likely looted, and at worst taken at swordpoint and killed for, and they refuse. They refuse to do even that.

If a shop is selling herbal products, but doesn’t list every ingredient due to wanting keep their blends ‘proprietary’… do NOT buy from them.

Of course you need to know every ingredient of a tea, but you also need to know every ingredient in topical and smoking blends too.

No decent herbalist or medicine maker is ever going to keep information like that from you. Not only should they list ingredients, but they should talk about the proportions of each in the blend freely.
 
Like, I get not wanting to basically give away a recipe, but if you have any confidence in your ability to source and blend products of a higher quality than the average untrained person, then it should be no problem. 

If it’s going IN or ON your body, you need to know everything that’s in it. 

This includes things like anointing oils! you might think think ‘oh its just for magical purposes, not medicinal, so it doesn’t matter.’ WRONG! it’s still going on your body, just as it would if you were using it medicinally. 

It’s like the difference between ‘medical’ and ‘recreational’ cannabis…there is none. recreational cannabis has all the same medicinal effects weather you’re purposefully using it for that or not. Just like all herbs have a medicinal effect weather you’re using them for that purpose or not.

and then speak with an actual herbalist to make sure it’s a good product for you.  Knowing what’s in it doesn’t do much good if you have no clue what any of it means, or how the ingredients might interact with each other, your body, and other medicines.

Just… get acquainted with an herbalist if you’re going to be using herbs PLEASE.

i feel like theres no reason not to keep ratios proprietary? i wholeheartedly agree otherwise tho

There’s a BIG difference between a teeny pinch of lobelia and half the formula being lobelia. Same goes for cayenne and frankly, most herbs.

Each year, archaeologist Carol Colaninno guides undergraduates through a consequential choice: Where should they go to field school? Every budding U.S. archaeologist must attend one to learn hands-on skills such as excavation, and to have any hope of landing a job or entering grad school for archaeology.

The undergrads can choose from hundreds of field schools, many in remote areas. But Colaninno, who teaches at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, knows from former students and information passed privately among others in her whisper network that some field schools have a reputation for faculty who sexually harass with impunity. Many schools are also famed for heavy drinking.

Traditional field schools foster “the archaeology cowboy mentality … working really hard during the day but playing really hard at night—and drinking a ton,” says Katrina Eichner, an archaeologist at the University of Idaho. If directors of these field schools encourage that atmosphere, she adds, “it devolves into a frat party.” Over time, that cowboy culture gets perpetuated across academic generations. Read more.

It’s not just field schools. The entire CULTURE of American archaeology needs to change out of this mentality.

When women don’t feel safe at conferences because of predatory behaviors, it’s more than just a field school problem.

When women have secret “no go” dig lists for site supervisors to not shovel bum for, it’s more than just a field school problem.

When the bar at the convention center “runs out of liquor on the first day” and “everyone” who talks finds it “funny” and “proud” it’s DEFINITELY more than just a field school problem.
