Creative Way Of Saving Camels From Getting Run Over

"Hydnellum peckii" also known as the Devil's Tooth Fungus or Bleeding Tooth. 🩸🍄

Often found in damp, dark forests, growing in rotting wood. This spooky shroom's unique enamel-like appearance intrigues many as it produces liquid with the same consistency as blood. This serves as a defense mechanism and a way to spread its spores for reproduction. 

Although in some myths, it is said that this fungus symbolizes death, decay, and a bad omen. If eaten, some believe it can cause terrible nightmares. 👹☠️

Adding on. There was high levels of arsenic in browns, reds, and some yellows as well, so it isn't just the green to watch out for. Additionally, they started selling greens and browns that were labeled as "arsenic free" and testing revealed more arsenic than an "accidental or trace amount." Even if they tried to be safe, they were at risk.

We talk about the clothing because that's easy, but let's not forget this pigment was everywhere. A bigger problem was things like wall paper. Because arsenic is water soluble, and London is very humid, you end up with people inhaling large amounts of poison without even wearing dangerous clothing.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but:

- arsenic dye was used to make multiple shades of green in the 18th/19th centuries

- green dyes without arsenic were also still in common use

- consumer outcry against arsenic dye started as early as the 1860s, with many manufacturers beginning to phase it out around that time due to customer demand

- arsenic – dyed clothing is not likely to do more to the wearer than cause a skin rash. The majority of deaths from exposure to the dye were caused by other, more concentrated sources, and/or among workers exposed to large quantities of the pigment on a daily basis rather than consumers

- IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IF A GREEN ANTIQUE GARMENT IS DYED WITH ARSENIC WITHOUT CHEMICAL TESTING. There is NO telltale quality visible to the naked eye that I am aware of

Boobie pockets!

I always thought that “woman pulls something out of her cleavage” was really just sort of a cliche historically

But nope

I’m reading this incredibly niche book about the history of pockets, and there is a picture of a pair of stays from the 18th century that someone sewed a giant pocket inside of

It was apparently a big thing for women who wanted to keep their money safe or to steal it off of other people and hide it quickly

INCREDIBLE

I was recently hired to do a dark mermaid/siren photo shoot.

I want to figure out how to be this.

Do they? Or do they just know their value?
