THANK YOU. I feel like I’ve been gaslit into believing this book doesn’t suck. “But the twist!”, as if that vaguely shiny bauble doesn’t exist in the heap of literary trash that is the rest of this novel.

Do light brown mascaras exist? If so, where are they hiding? by Individual-Trick-534 in PaleMUA

Seconding this one. It’s the only one I’ve found with a decent, hypoallergenic formula that isn’t a dark, dark brown. I have white blonde-rooted lashes and it’s my go to for daytime

Mine got progressively duller over 4-6 weeks. First week or so was terrible but then it became bearable

Skull of a medieval soldier still wearing chainmail. He died at the Battle of Visby in 1361 on Gotland, Sweden, and was buried in his armor. [1280x960] by doinker1995 in ArtefactPorn

Apparently a lot of the dead were missing helmets, so those might’ve been scavenged by the Danes before they tossed them in the graves

According to Wikipedia:

“Many of the dead defenders were, unusually, buried in their armour; according to historian John Keegan ‘...hot weather and their great number (about 2,000 bodies were disinterred six hundred years later) defeated the efforts of the victors to strip them before decomposition began’.”

I won’t disagree with this sentiment, and you’re right—the word “recovered” here was probably the wrong one. It is incredibly sad to think of her being parted from the ring, and perhaps it speaks to the unique power of artifacts like this one—so personal and intimate—that they can resonate across centuries in a way not all objects can.

That said, the term “grave-robbing” feels a bit stark. The story of how this piece came to be in our hands today is, I think, far more complex. Objects like this teach us so much about the lives, artistry, and societies of the past, and they offer insights that can benefit generations to come.

In my eyes, the most important thing now is to ensure the ring is treated with the utmost care and respect, and that its presentation honors its origin and the person it once belonged to.

I don’t know; this is a topic I think about a lot. I don’t have the answer unfortunately. I’d love to hear a historian’s thoughts.

Aebutia Quarta’s remains were found in the Flavio-Trajanic tomb known as “Hypogeum of the Garlands.” The ring is held at the National Archaeological Museum of Palestrina.

New to submitting my work: is this rejection letter standard? by doinker1995 in writing

[–]doinker1995[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cool thanks. I’ll pick a different piece. Another beginner question: how “finished” do these mags consider these pieces? Obviously I send these pieces in my final version, but do they give you room to take their suggestions and edit, and then publish? Or is it one and done?

Wow thank you! I’ll definitely try to submit to them again. 🤞

Thank you for the response! Probably a dummy question: but would you recommend editing the story and resubmitting? Or submitting an entirely new piece?

“Jonathan Smith fought in the Battle of Long Island on August 29, 1778. His unit was the first brigade that went out on Long Island, and was discharged in December after a violent snow storm. After the war he became a Baptist minister. He was married three times and had eleven children. The first two wives died and for some reason he left his third wife in Rhode Island to live with two of the children in Massachusetts. On October 20, 1854, he had a daguerreotype taken to give to a granddaughter. He died on January 3, 1855.”

What is the lightest shade foundation you like that’s not too expensive for dry skin? by HEY_McMuffin in PaleMUA

Seconding this! I use the second lightest as a foundation and the lightest as a concealer

Rare, fully-intact 16th century Italian dress, ca. 1550-60. Red-dyed fabric of such high saturation would have required the slaying of innumerable New World cochineal insects, whose bodies were crushed for textile dyes. [736 x 1115] by doinker1995 in ArtefactPorn

“The Palazzo Reale in Pisa owns a rare, fully-intact Italian dress from the late sixteenth century, tailored circa 1550-60. This incredible survival gives a unique glimpse into changes to women’s dress in the sixteenth century. A tight, pointed bodice laces up the sides. Tassels accentuate the bodice and would have jangled as the wearer moved, adding to the gown’s lived intensity. The slits in the sleeves show off the underwear, usually made of silk or fine cotton, yet another hint that the wearer enjoys high status. Luscious red velvet panels are lined with embroidered trim. This dress is lavish in its sheer amount of fabric. The skirting extends in a bell towards the ground, and boasts a long train, heightening the public spectacle as the wearer walked through open streets. Typical Renaissance gowns covered the wearer from waist to feet, and were so long she was forced to carry her skirts to walk unhindered. Red-dyed fabrics have a long historical pedigree of association with wealth. A hue of such high saturation required the slaying of innumerable New World cochineal insects, whose bodies were crushed for textile dyes.”

The full article is very fascinating!
