I CANT……THE THIGH GAP TOLD ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW TBH

I hate his timeline so much

If I have to watch this with my own eyes I’m making the rest of you suffer.

I THINK ITS REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD REALLY WATCH THE POST-TRAILER CLIP ABOUT THE CREATOR – A MUSLIM WOMAN SATIRIZING THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH AMERICAN CULTURE AND ITS INTERACTIONS WITH ISLAM (AND THE FACT THAT THEY’RE DUMB ENOUGH TO THINK ISIS REPRESENTS IT) BECAUSE HOLY FUCK IT TAKES THIS ‘ALARMING BUT KINDA FUNNY’ VIDEO INTO ‘THAT’S FUCKING HILARIOUS’ TERRITORY WITH THAT NEW CONTEXT

I honestly always find the term ‘spinster’ as referring to an elderly, never-married woman as funny because you know what?

Wool was a huge industry in Europe in the middle ages. It was hugely in demand, particularly broadcloth, and was a valuable trade good. A great deal of wool was owned by monasteries and landed gentry who owned the land. 

And, well, the only way to spin wool into yarn to make broadcloth was by hand. 

This was viewed as a feminine occupation, and below the dignity of the monks and male gentry that largely ran the trade. 

So what did they do?

They hired women to spin it. And, turns out, this was a stable job that paid very well. Well enough that it was one of the few viable economic options considered ‘respectable’ outside of marriage for a woman. A spinster could earn quite a tidy salary for her art, and maintain full control over her own money, no husband required. 

So, naturally, women who had little interest in marriage or men? Grabbed this opportunity with both hands and ran with it. Of course, most people didn’t get this, because All Women Want Is Husbands, Right?

So when people say ‘spinster’ as in ‘spinster aunt’, they are TRYING to conjure up an image of a little old lady who is lonely and bitter. 

But what I HEAR are the smiles and laughter of a million women as they earned their own money in their own homes and controlled their own fortunes and lived life on their own terms, and damn what society expected of them. 

I hope this a shit post cause that’s not even close to being true.

Please. I am very curious as to why you think I am incorrect. 

I saw this spinster post and regretted not reblogging it, only to find this one that’s like ten times better with amazing sources and a hot’n’fresh moider for me ❤

Yesterday I had a friend tell me how one of her close friends has a whole bunch of succulents, and she has given each one the name of her close friends. She nurses them, takes care of them, talks to them, and if one ever starts to get sick or not grow well, she talks to the friend in question and something is almost always bothering them.

And if that isn’t one of the cutest examples of subtle green witchcraft I don’t know what is.
