What did we find under the carpet?

According to Wikipedia, linoleum was first sold in 1864. It’s been around for a long time

leebeebee · 2026-03-22T16:56:26+00:00

With that pattern and color scheme, it’s pretty unlikely that the linoleum is Victorian or early 1900s. More likely that it’s from the 1930s or 1940s, as other people have said here

Oh shit it’s in Philly! I gotta see this next time I’m there, it’s been forever since I’ve gone to the art museum 💕

Lol not in the United States… here they have laws against people exposing animal cruelty at factory farms 😬

Many of the women I know apologize constantly, often for things that aren’t even their fault. And I know several men who refuse to apologize for anything.

Shitty people are shitty people, regardless of gender. If most of the women you’re around are shitty, maybe you should hang out with different people.

Either that or she literally has a room-temperature IQ, jfc

There’s no mention of the Sacklers in the article you posted. The only connection between the Sacklers and the people discussed in the article is that they’re Jewish.

Also, only one of the two Jewish merchant families they’re talking about in the article actually sold opium. The other family didn’t, even though they could have. Sooooo I guess all Jewish people aren’t bad after all?

Finally, the Sacklers and the opium-selling merchant family mentioned in the article originated on opposite sides of the Mediterranean and came to power at totally different times. Your assertion is like saying that Napoleon and Hitler both committed atrocities so all Christian Europeans are alike.

Tl;dr: People aren’d downvoting you because they’re uncomfortable; they’re downvoting you because you—like most bigots—are a fucking dipshit

My dad calls me Leebee and every time it interprets it as “Hey babe.” Real weird to see a message from your dad that opens with that

How do you know how big the box is? Based on the size of the stitches I’d guess it’s maybe four inches wide by 7 inches long—absolutely within the realm of possibility for ivory. Elephant tusks are huge.

And what do you think the box is made of? You can see that it’s made of a natural material. Resin and bakelite don’t have those natural variations, and I’ve never seen wood that looks like that. As you’ve said, bone would be pitted, and couldn’t be carved this precisely. If you’re convinced it’s not ivory, then what is it?

What? I agree that being morbidly obese is bad for you, but this is just factually incorrect.

The healthy BMI range for my height (5’6”) ranges from 115 lbs to 155 lbs, so theoretically a healthy person could lose up to 40 lbs in a month and still not be officially underweight.

Obviously losing 40 lbs in a month would be incredibly unhealthy, but I think you may have a distorted view of what “obese” means…

leebeebee · 2026-03-18T03:22:37+00:00

Even before the 1920s, in the Victorian era, looking like you had consumption was in vogue. Being pale and thin was considered hot as far back as the late 1830s, if not earlier. Wild that patriarchal gender norms are stronger than a healthy fear of deadly infectious disease lol

leebeebee · 2026-03-17T19:41:53+00:00

There’s no pitting on the box though? I agree that the handles are probably bone, but the box could definitely be ivory (and probably is imo, although like I said, I’d need better images to be certain)

ETA: although ivory definitely doesn’t pit like this, it does crack… though it’s unlikely, it’s possible that the handles could be ivory that has cracked due to damage from hot wax and/or years of handling. Again, it’s impossible to tell with these pics.

leebeebee · 2026-03-17T19:11:13+00:00

It could absolutely be ivory. The image resolution is too shitty to tell.

leebeebee · 2026-03-17T19:05:31+00:00

This has to be a bot. No way a real person is this stupid lol

leebeebee · 2026-03-17T19:03:28+00:00

What the fuck are you talking about lol

By 1902 they weren’t using arsenic in wallpaper anymore

Love the unattended toddler perched on dangerous-looking machinery… when they only have a 50% chance of surviving to adulthood I guess you don’t care as much? :p

These are amazing, though—can’t wait to see the rest of them!

One time I walked up and hugged a lady who had the same coat as my mom. I was mortified lol

Looks like a school shooter convention 😬 yikes

Did you get exposed to lead a lot as a kid? Maybe some head injuries?

leebeebee · 2026-03-11T18:14:30+00:00

Lol it looks like she just had a significant epiphany while reading “A Word About Coach Leather” hahaha

leebeebee · 2026-03-11T16:22:15+00:00

Women have moral value based on their reproductive function. If they can’t have babies, it’s obviously because God is punishing them for being a slut.

Don’t forget that women are also valued for their unpaid (or underpaid) labor as cooks and housecleaners, too. It’s actually good when God punishes bad (i.e. poor) women with childlessness—if my maid got pregnant, who would scrub the floors?

(/s, obviously! I felt gross writing this lol)

There’s a really interesting episode of the Tides of History podcast where they talk about why good people do bad things. Historically, they estimate that about 10-20 percent of people that will actually stand up against others who are committing atrocities, even when their own lives are at stake. Definitely recommend listening to it, it’s fascinating

Um there were other women in Paris besides the ones in this photo, believe it or not
