yeah probably not for multiple reasons

yeah there's absolutely truth to that but it's just not why the ceiling heights are like that

130

it's a very enduring myth that pubs etc have low ceilings because people got taller (and there is some truth to your average person getting taller with better nutrition) but it just doesn't account for what happens when you have dirt floor covered with rushes for 200 years

the house in question, around 450 years

so actually no, what you're seeing in cases like this is almost always that the street level (and floor level of the house, to remain even with the street) rises over time. it's why the upper floors of a building will have more head space than the ground floor

Significant numbers of leftists think Mayor Mamdani has betrayed the left by putting out an anti-antisemitism plan at all, and groups that claim to fight antisemitism like the ADL are giving Mamdani zero credit because he has not suddenly endorsed Zionism, and I am caught between and I am tired.

don't bother addressing a congregation unless you're in the baroque creature pulpit

Baroque pulpit ca. 1750, rebuilt 1856, Parish church in Dobroszów.

a fanciful scaled sculpture where the serpents open mouth serves as the pulpit

Assorted choices were indeed made here but I actually love this one for all the lil structural elements on display! The steel beam in the bathroom! The wood frame joins with missing beams in the bedroom! It’s messy but it’s all on display and that’s fun to me

Esther Rantzen has died. I only knew her through my MiL- they worked together for some time- but she founded Childline, which is a wonderful resource and something I wish many more places had a version of. Sending love to her family.

And hey, since we’re on the topic: if you’re a big fan of some left leaning influencer and then someone like me comes along and says they are using antisemitic dog whistles, yo I’m sorry your hero is flawed but you have a choice of how to respond and one way is morally better than another

21426

But there are a lot of people who start doing the first and very quickly go on to the second, yes.

1160

I agree with the first part but not the second. It’s very, very easy to see the line between “criticise the Israeli government” and “medieval blood libel references”

2380

I wish we could assume that people on the left were universally solid and not bigoted in any direction, but that’s just not true.

31326

And then when you see it- especially from someone on the left, and there is a lot of it right now- go ahead and yell at those people. They’re doing it on purpose.

Leo Frank is a very specifically American devolution of this but again. Just familiarise yourself with the discourse so you know what you’re seeing.

1891

If you don’t know who Simon of Trent is- that’s fine and frankly I wish we lived in a world where only medievalists did- go ahead and just read this page and fix some names in your head. When you see them in discourse, that should raise some flags. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_l...

I have *been* saying that medieval style antisemitism has a major foothold in the left and the best thing allies can do is be aware of the dog whistles so you know when someone is gone off on one

If you want "personalized music" made just for you pick up a fucking guitar. Or else break the heart of someone who already has.

yeah that's actually part of the argument for the projector; we don't let them watch tv often so having it be 'invisible' would help

130

my thought was a drop down screen yeah but also we already have tv plug sockets fitted to the wall so like

oh i'm just like lazy and enjoy going in clueless

it's a very dark room tbh and i'm about to colour drench it dark blue so it's gonna be even darker, and it is an otherwise blank wall

we aren’t strictly opposed to a projector type setup linked to a laptop if anyone wants to talk to me about that option

well they definitely aren’t supposed to

remind me, tvs are measured corner to diagonal corner, right?

He really deserves a vacation and I wish he would take it

well the house didn’t catch fire so yeah sort of

And also we are obviously in the U.K. and we’ve owned the same tv since 2011, we do not need anything fancy

okay criteria: fits where the old one was so like roughly 2 ft by 3.5 ft idk that’s flexible no inbuilt ai or mandatory smart home shit we use like our tv licence and an Amazon fire stick (I know sue me) and a dvd player We watch tv like. the kings speech and bakeoff and the very odd footie

okay I need to stress that we are not blaming the electrician for this, it’s from 2011 and this Is our house after all, but our tv sort of just blew up anyway what type of tv is good these days* *criteria in next post

Ah that explains it, I traditionally do not look at any of the pre show press or social media!

fucking right. And like I’m glad it’s being talked about but also I need a break
