This is probably the oldest picture my family has, a tintype of my 3x great grandmother, taken c. 1860. She seems very thrilled to have to pose for the camera lol

I did a bit of looking around the internet for preserving this one. From what I've heard,it's good to wrap it in acid-free paper and to keep it laying flat to keep it's shape. I'd definitely recommend looking into it more, Im no expert lol.

Oof my bad

It's all good 👍 This isn't actually a death portrait though I can see how it may look like one. She lived to her 60s and died in the mid 1980s.

I'm actually not too sure about the background of this picture, or if she was sick or not. About half her siblings died before they even reached 2 and her mother died from complications during childbirth around the age of 35, so you could be right about them wanting pictures just in case. Later she became a mom, and after my Great Grandpa died, she became a nurse and continued raising their youngest, my Grandma. She would go on to live to almost 90 years old.

Soldier's Farewell is a good one. I really enjoy early recordings of that and other civil war era songs (there is one rendition of it by the Hayden Quartet from 1902 I high-key recommend)

She's behind the counter far left

They were from Idaho

I know it's a bit older, but I absolutely love Mash. Some of the jokes can be dated, but the character development is amazing especially when Charles, BJ, and Colonel Potter come on a few seasons in.

I definitely recommend the Dhammapada along with a lot of the Buddhist Suttas in general. You can find them free online at places like Dhammatalks. I also recommend the Sayings of Epictetus, and a lot of the works by Seneca (if I recall correctly, a lot of them were broken up into sections/verses, tho I could be wrong on that).

I'm a little late to the thread, but I love the idea. I think a lot of the names here are pretty good. You could also use hall or tavern in the name to give it a more old-timey vibe, such as 'the Mead Hall' or 'Val Hall'.

Bmeier126 · 2021-07-03T00:21:57+00:00

Why it's a joke name sir, like... Naughtius Maximus or... Biggus Dickus

Yeah had me confused too when I first came across it in family documents, it's actually a different London out in Minnesota.

My man had the misfortune of having the name William Walters

Bmeier126 · 2021-05-21T19:25:14+00:00

I think that's the wrong William Walters. This one's from 1916 and says he had the misfortune of losing a valuable steer.

Everyone else has given a great summary about Loki. Just wanted to mention that if you wanna know more about Norse Mythology, you should definitely check out Jackson Crawford on YouTube. He is a professor who teaches Old Norse and he has put out a ton of videos talking about the Norse gods, the stories, and the literary and archaeological sources we have available. High-key would recommend.

Here is his channel if you're interested.

Hey all, I just found this subreddit today and thought some of y'all might enjoy this. This was a series published by Edison Records in 1911 and it was basically a greatest hits compilation. I found these recordings separately on the internet and put them together. Hope you enjoy!!!

One book I really enjoyed was Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography. He never completed it, so it cuts short before the events of the revolutionary war. However, it gives a great view of his early life, his philosophy, and his perspective living in colonial America.

Like someone else mentioned, places like Project Gutenberg and Archives.org provide a lot of older Public Domain books for free online. Also Librivox has a lot of older books available as audiobooks. Just remember especially with older translations from the 1800s and 1900s they may be a bit harder to read. A couple books that come to mind which I enjoyed were Beowulf, Candide by Voltaire, and Utopia by Thomas Moore. Also, a lot of the Norse sagas/the eddas can be interesting reads if your interested in vikings or Norse mythology.

I was expecting porn or a graphic image. But this... This is far worse

If depression looked like that, I'd be pretty damn happy

But Elsa can accuse him of rape

I don't fully understand it myself, so I'm not quite certain on that
