For centuries, a “gossip” was a woman who attended another woman's delivery. The word was a corruption of “god-sib” or “god-sibling,” meaning “sister in the Lord.” The gossips offered support to mother and midwife. Only later did the term take on a derogatory meaning.

Arguably the thing that people treat the most dismissively that would absolutely floor pre-modern people is clothing. I don't think non-historians understand how much human labor went into pre-modern creation of clothes and fibers. A single dress is the culmination of many many hours of work

Again, there are 40 men currently on federal death row, a number of whom will certainly be executed under Trump, whose sentences Biden has the power to commute.

The Palestinian keffiyeh and its symbolism:
The firshnet represents its Mediterranean life.
The bold multi-laned borders represent the trade routes passing through Palestine.
The leaf pattern in between the two border lines represent olive leaves.
The hills, the sea, and the routes of travel.
