“I just decided by the grace of the god Poseidon, That you’re so dead to me I dug a hole for you to lie in, I’m sick and disowning, All the moments, And the key components, That led me to follow hollow promises from empty monads” Ghostemane-Mercury
Bockstensmanen, a medieval person who happened to die in a bog which preserved his clothes (and more), clothes like hella comfy??
Like seriously. Comfy and warm wool clothes!
(yes this are pictures of his actual outfit, not reconstructed clothing. They were very well preserved in all except colour. The bog gave everything that yellow shade, i suspect)
It goes around the entire body! So perhaps not quite a mantel but.
A got a little hood with a fashionedble long thingy at the end
Warm that too! There is no openings for wind or anything, so like. Just pull hood over head, get warm!
Warm socks! Gotta keep em feets warm (and just like in english, the swedish words for trousers, byxor, is in plural in its normal form, just because the medieval version of trousers consisted of two separate peices like here.
Somewhere, there should be something for hos upper legs but idk were that one is)
Anyway! I do think one can tell that keeping warm was an important part of the logic behind bockstensmannens clothing. Not odd that, when he lived in Scandinavia and all…
When we already at it, with listning his entire outfit. Here his this shoes
Reconstruction in how he might have looked like in life. The musuem points out, that his skull was very smashed when found, werehas it might be a bit so so with this dolls facial similiarity with bockstensmannen in life. And his hair colour we know not, the bog will colour most hair red with enough time.
But that hairstyle! That he really had! Bockstensmannen wore like Peak Fluffy Medieval Hair Fashion in life
The entire doll wearing bockstensmannens reconstructed clothing
so someone just said they’re “really interested in history” how careful do you have to be?
“i just think history is interesting in general! i’m not interested in any specific part of it”: this person is most likely safe. never drop your guard though
“i’m interested in this specific subject or time period in history. (ex. ancient egypt, the golden age of piracy, the history of the printing press”: still probably safe. be on the lookout for certain risky historical subjects. you should know them you see them
“i’m really into WW2 history”: this is the caution zone, there’s plenty of valid reasons to be into WW2, but if they start talking about how Operation Sealion totally could have succeeded, it’s time to abort
“i’m specifically into roman history, the crusades, prussian military history, and WW2”: danger! do NOT talk about history with this person. in fact, do not talk to this person at all. you will regret it, you do not want to know what they think of the treaty of versailles or why germany lost the first world war
“I was really into ancient greek mythology in middle school”: this person is gay
I really want to start the discussion on racist dog ownership, and how the current (or almost past) tide of “pitbulls are violent dogs” belief started when black People began using them as protection against white peoples choice of weaponized dog : the German Shepherd.
when i was a child i was sitting in a park with my grandmother. a woman she knew sat by us and a group of kids i sorta knew came by with their dog, a pit.the woman (who was white ) shouted at me , not to go near their dog and they “pitbulls kill children”. my grandmother, a lifetime owner of both Shepherds AND bulls said “ now how did you come to that conclusion? “ and the woman explained all the “stuff she’d read” about it and “heard” about kids being attacked by pitbulls. that “shepherds were kinder, less violent” dogs.
thats when my grandmother turned to her and said “ oh? so you’ve READ about these attacks, and you HEARD about these attacks, but you WATCHED us (black people) get torn to shreds on national television and that doesnt have you thinking Shepherds kill you too, huh?”
the womans face was so twisted it looked like a pretzel. she just didnt know what to say
but all my life i have known about this , and as it’s explained to me, Pitbulls became like the past “Chicken and watermelon” scheme. basically, the dogs got a better bite than the shepherd, and once white folks realized that, they began to feel themselves losing their power again. and since black folks started breeding our own pits, they demonized the dog entirely(just like they did with chicken and watermelon) to keep us from making ANY money.
i’d also like to start a conversation on Hipster “rescues” and their willingness to keep their dogs underweight as to give them the appearance of just being “rescued”.
I absolutely adore Pitbulls. My cousins used to have one, and let me tell you, he was the sweetest dog you’ve ever seen. All he wanted to do was cuddle. They’re a banned breed in the UK, where I live now, which is completely ridiculous. There is literally
for the claims that they’re “more aggressive” or “inherently aggressive.” The above sources demonstrate that the real problem with death by dog attack is with irresponsible pet ownership AND that dogs involved in these attacks are often misidentified as being Pitbulls.
As for the hipster thing, I really didn’t know that; however, if it’s true, that’s majorly fucked up.
-mod Aleksandr
The hipster shit is entirely false.
Pit bulls originate from the British Isles. They were not bred for the purpose of protecting black people from german shepherds. As a black person who absolutely adores pit bulls, OP’s shit is just that. A fucking steaming, huge ass pile of bull turds.
(American) Pit bulls were bred from Old English Bulldogs that used to do bull baiting. The “Pit” in Pitbull comes from the fact that they were bred to do ratting… Because the rats were placed in a pit that they couldn’t escape from and they would see which dogs could kill the most rats the fastest. Eventually, because dog fighting was a popular thing, bulldogs were crossed with terriers, which is why the more proper name is “American Pitbull Terrier”.
Before the Civil War, when British Isle immigrants came to the US, the dog was named the American Pitbull Terrier and in fact, they were largely considered working class companions because of their friendliness towards people.
In fact, during WW1 and WW2 the APBT became the nation’s icon and became the image of bravery and loyalty.
In fact, the myth that pit bulls were violent did not start until the 1980s, WHEN DOG FIGHTING HAD BECAME ILLEGAL ACROSS ALL 50 STATES
THEY WERE NOT, I REPEAT WHERE FUCKING NOTE BRED TO COMPETE WITH GERMAN SHEPARDS.
IN FACT, THEIR HISTORY AND BREEDING LINEAGE HAS ABSOLUTELY BUTT FUCK NOTHING TO DO WITH GERMAN SHEPARDS
AT ONE POINT THEY WERE CONSIDERED AN ALL AMERICAN DOGGO UP UNTIL DOG FIGHTING HAD BECAME ILLEGAL
WHEN CRIMINALS AND GAMBLES HAD STARTED BREEDING THE DOGS IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN UNDERGROUND DOG FIGHTING MATCHES THEY BREED THE DOGS WITHOUT ANY
ANY
CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR TEMPERAMENT AND WELLBEING
THIS RESULTED IN DOGS THAT WERE AGGRESSIVE AND DIFFICULT TO HANDLE BECAUSE THEIR ONLY PURPOSE WAS TO FIGHT OTHER DOGS
CRIMINALS HAD STARTED TREATING THESE DOGS AS A WAY OF MAKING MONEY RATHER THAN THE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE AND LOVING FRIEND THAT THEY ARE
THAT IS WHY THEY BECAME ASSOCIATED WITH DOG FIGHTING, THUGS, AND POVERTY BECAUSE THOSE BASTARDS STARTED TREATING THEM AS A WAY TO MAKE MONEY RATHER THAN A COMPANION
IT DIDN’T HELP THAT FUCKING MICHAEL VICK WAS CONVICTED FOR DOG FIGHTING AND MANY OF THE DOGS HE HAD NEEDED TO BE EUTHANIZED BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THEY WERE TO AGGRESSIVE TO BE REHOMED AND HANDLED
OP IS A FUCKING BITCH FOR BASICALLY PERPETUATING THE STEREOTYPE THAT PIT BULLS ARE NATURALLY AGGRESSIVE AND VIOLENT DOGS UNDER THE GUISE OF SAYING THAT THEY WERE FOR PROTECTING BLACK PEOPLE
NO
THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY WERE BRED FOR
AND THEY WEREN’T EVEN CONSIDERED VIOLENT
UNTIL THE 1980S
THE LAST
20 FUCKING YEARS AND IT WASN’T HELPED WHEN MICHAL VICK WAS CONVICTED FOR DOG FIGHTING IN 2007 YOU DUMB SON OF A HOE
OP, please delete your blog for attempting to spread misinformation of a dog’s breed to push your bullshit narrative of race baiting rather than attempting to educate people on the breed.
iirc pit bull terriers were once nicknamed “nanny dogs” because they were so good at looking after children
OP’s storyline sounds like a bad fantasy novel/movie/anime where attack dogs are the height of military power and the poor under-class have created the Pitbull to fight the military’s German Shepard Main Battle Dog.
I mean if your fear is getting attacked by dogs and your reaction is to breed your own attack dogs instead of, you know, using one of the myriad weapons humanity has created you are a very strange person.
