Vanaf eind deze maand is er in Kasteel Ruurlo een tentoonstelling over Fong-Leng en Mathilde Willink. Helaas kost het me drie uur reizen om daar te komen, en op één dag zes uur in het ov zitten trek ik mentaal niet. Wel echt jammer dat ik deze aan me voorbij moet laten gaan.

Fashion plate from 1779 showing a woman wearing robe à la Polonaise of silk taffeta, the skirt decorated with a border of indienne (painted or printed cotton). A 'therèse' (transparant mesh hood) is worn to protect the hairstyle. #FashionPlateFriday #dresshistory #18thc

Genuinely such an interesting long thread on why these suits look crap and yet how a particular type of crap suit has become a cultural signifier for right-wing men.
I can answer this. I interviewed Peterson's tailor a few years ago, although the interview was never published because I fell behind on work. Here is the story of this suit. 🧵
What is happening with this outfit?

This is one of my favourite silhouettes, the sharp structure created by a c1790 redingote. It has the trappings of male tailoring whilst retaining the contemporary expectations of femininity. And as for the fabric….. #LACMA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Ik was zo gespannen vandaag tijdens m’n diploma uitreiking dat ik me nu pas besef dat het een beetje jammer was dat men half vergeten achteraf zei dat ik m’n bachelor cum laude heb gehaald?? (als enige als ik dat goed begrijp??) (cc: @jouketurpijn.bsky.social wil graag nog confettikanon tegoed)

Started off my Huntington U. class on fashion in the long 18th century with rare French and English fashion plates from the Huntington Library's collection. Primary sources FTW!

Writers block: sucks. Mental illness: is a bitch.
The one good thing about today is that Kim Petras dropped a new track and it slaps. Just the thing to wind down after a day filled with frustration.

Today was fun: medical manuscripts this morning at Edinburgh CRC (ms 314, ms 170; ms 168). Followed by an urban foraging lecture (quite medicine based) and 16th C recipes at the historical reconstruction lab. So interesting!

Journal des Luxus und der Moden, 1790. No description for this plate. I wonder what other dress historians think the type of gown portrayed is? Looks like a robe en chemise, but the open skirt of the gown showing the petticoat underneath is throwing me off. #FashionPlateFriday #dresshistory #18thc

So not only is there an exhibition on 17th century domesticity at the @rijksmuseum.bsky.social starting this month, it's accompanied by a symposium in January. I am SO looking forward to this www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/whats-on/...

The value of cloth was such, in the past, that recycling was a regular feature of sartorial life. Silk brocade worn in the 18th century has been completely repurposed here to fit the fashionable silhouette of the #1820s, too precious not to reuse #nasjonalmuseet #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The reactions by historians to *that* Nature paper are because we are routinely consistently told by both laypeople and too many STEM colleagues that our methods are irrelevant, nonexistent or inferior, and our fields pointless.
Our institutions agree.
Miss me with defending STEM in this moment.

Reactions by historians here indicate that barriers for interdiscplinary work are robust, even may reflect hostile attitudes. Although they seem more rooted in different styles of thinking and communicating, rather than ideological differences.

tip voor mannen die in het donker achter een vrouw aanfietsen: de fuck wegwezen jij. als het niet lukt om haar in te halen dan sla je maar af maar wat je niet gaat doen is een vrouw het gevoel geven dat ze de hele tijd achterom moet kijken

Volgende week bij @rtl.nl de logische maar pijnlijke vraag wat een vrouw überhaupt buiten deed.
'Waarom fietste ze 's nachts alleen?' Een pijnlijke, maar ook logische vraag #nieuws
'Waarom fietste ze 's nachts alleen?' Een pijnlijke, maar ook logische vraag
Waarom geen taxi Is het wel slim om alleen op de fiets te stappen Na de gewelddadige dood van de 17jarige Lisa gaat een Instagrampost van schrijfster Nienke s Gravemade viral. Ze schaamt zich namelijk tegelijkertijd voor haar gedachten, want dit is victim blaming. Hoe durf ik haar medeplichtig te maken
