I guess an introduction is in order.
Hi, I was an archivist/museum professional in my former life. I research/write about mid-19th c topics focusing on women. Strange turns in life have me teaching everything from cameos to Spiritualism as it pertains to the paranormal community. I'm weird...hi.

🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.

When French historian Hippolyte Taine visited London in the #1860s, he described dresses he saw as ‘loud & overcharged with ornament’ & it is easy to see why when faced with this expanse of fringed blue. I like it though, exuberant, dramatic, visible, taking up space #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
