Always mad that at a certain point everyone (wrongly) thought it would be cool to just default to leather for everything (looking at you, Netflix Trojan War show).
I wrote a short essay about it more than a decade ago:

BBC’s The Musketeers and the Problem of Leather
Having just finished watching the first episode of BBC’s The Musketeers, I have to ask: Are we seriously still on this leather armor thing? Since the early 2000s we’ve seen a slew of “period” pieces.....

There is no thaw without the freeze.
The ferryman will have his fees,
So light your lamps and keep them bright
Against the cold and longest night.

For this we know: the fire burns.
The winter dies. The sun returns.
And all if we stand, and if we fight,
We can survive the longest night.

Determining accurately which foods are histamine liberators: also extremely fucking hard, because again, the Wellness Industrial Complex has seized on it, plus there's no validated lab assay test to determine it. The SIGHI list notes *some* of them: www.mastzellaktivierung.info/downloads/fo...

we have an Our Lady of the Lake here in the suburb of Lake Oswego, and our church when we go to the beach is St. Mary by the Sea, so I suppose you can kind of glue any words to her you want to for the vibes 😂 but it does IMMEDIATELY tell you these guys think they’re soldiers in a holy war
and speaking of names i also feel like the name of the church is so clever because for a lot of non-catholics "our lady of perpetual fortitude" probably sounds plausible but all the catholics in the audience immediately were like "well that doesn't sound right"

DECEMBER 14

it’s the first night of Hanukkah and I’m hugging all my Jewish friends and followers so tight rn 🕯️❤️

I’m forever on the hunt for good Hanukkah music and this album is full of bops, but “Give You Everything” by Buzzy Lee was my instant favorite

Short version: one such rabbithole led to me ringing everyone in the phonebook with a certain name and asking them a very odd question until, eventually, one guy said:

"Well. My father always wondered if one day someone might ring up and ask about that. Yes. That was him."
