“X bodily fluid is just filtered blood!” buddy I hate to break it to you but ALL of the fluids in your body are filtered blood. Your circulatory system is how water gets around your body. It all comes out of the blood (or lymph, which is just filtered blood).
1875. Revue de la mode. Chatelaines, éventails et éventail-pistolet.
I was searching my magazine collection for chatelaine pictures (I’m a bit obsessed with chatelaines and other victorian gadgets for women) and this gem pops up. Here is a blurry close-up:
«5-6. Eventail-pistolet ouvert en cuir de Russie noir ou rouge et filets à feuille d'or, de soie noire ou rouge, suivant la monture. Notre dessin 6 reprèsente l’eventail-pistolet fremé et accroché à la ceinture.
Revue de la mode. 4º Année, nº162. Dimanche, 7 Fevrier 1875.»
A pistol-fan, man. I can’t even think of a worse accessory. I mean, it’s just bad design. Darwin award winner bad design. Victorian edition.
I’m sorry, I’m just laughing out loud here.
“A Victorian chatelaine is essentially a tool belt of a highly personal nature. Picture a Swiss Army knife crossed with a charm bracelet and you’ll start to get the idea. Nineteenth-century chatelaines are highly customized to suit the needs of their individual owners; the two elements they all share are the clip, which hangs them from their owner’s waist, and a series of chains hanging from that clip to tether various accessory tools.”

Exclamation marks, but instead of a huge line of them, we do like Roman numerals of them.

“When you send me for a role and it says ‘South Asian, his name is Raj’ … I say ‘I don’t fucking want it.’ And then the next one comes in and it says it doesn’t have a race. ‘This is John. 30s. Handsome.’ … When it says that, I want that fucking role. So I want to take from the majority. That’s the only time I think about race.” —Rahul Kohli on Blackman Beyond podcast
Oh my god that's fucking hilarious
