The "Versailles court members pooped in the corner" walked so "Hogwarts students use to pee on the floor and magic it away" could stumble and fall

The free bleeding one made me so mad. There is evidence that many very ancient societies used some form of padding so they didn't free bleed. The idea that the French aristocrats would just... bleed all over their rococo decor is complete and utter madness.

The British silence on poopy Versailles is the most valid point ever. There’s no way the British wouldn’t have been absolutely RAGGING on them for being nasty there’d still be jokes about it to this day

The idea of Edgar Allen Poe shitposting with fake news is just hysterical to me.

“I would prefer to hate them for the true bad stuff than what is fake.” I couldn’t agree with you more.

Honestly, I think part of the problem with Keller is that most school only give her life past the "wah wah" moment about a paragraph, so the story becomes "this girl was broken until a very nice teacher fixed her!" while the real story is closer to being "these two disabled women worked their asses off to succeed in a society that barely saw them as human" (which is less "feel good")

One of my biggest pet peeves is people misunderstanding the way historical people used the term ‘bathed’ vs ‘washed’. People read that historical people didn’t ‘bathe’ as frequently as we do now, and think they were dirty and disgusting. But historically to ‘bathe’ was a distinct term vs ‘washing’. Before plumped bathrooms, someone may not have submerged themselves in an entire tub full of water very often, called ‘bathing’. But people did ‘wash’, aka give themselves a scrub down with a bowl water and a cloth, what we’d now call a sponge bath.

The problem with Momlennial was that if your debunking got enough attention, she'd pull up information on you, tell her fans you were a racist/misogynist/white supremacist and, in the case of a few, openly dox them (which is why we think her original tiktok was taken down).
