Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.

I'm gonna be honest 'cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas' always annoys me a bit because it's a funny post but also No They Weren't. They were an itinerant pastoralist class common in Meiji-era Texas. And indeed the wider western region of post-Risorgimento America

watching game of thrones and this was considered a historically accurate portrayal of steppe nomads??? the faux leather strapless crops and faux leather yoga pants?????

one thing this show clearly doesn’t get, which a lot of modern portrayals of premodern times don’t seem to get, is that in a preindustrial society where literally everything is handmade, people preferred (and prefer!) to take a little longer to make things beautiful. if you’re personally spinning and weaving and stitching every inch your new coat, you might as well take an extra afternoon to dye the fibers a really lovely yellow with some onion scraps, and spend a little longer to embroider on a nice pattern. if you’re personally carving every angle of every chair in your house, you may as well slow down and carve them with a beautiful and culturally significant design, especially if you know your great-grandchildren will be sitting in them. in a hyperconsumerist industrial society it’s expected that you just buy what you can afford and settle for however beautiful or ugly the thing happens to be, but it wasn’t always that way. the vast majority of people in the premodern world were hobbyist artists, and they dressed in and sat on and slept under and smoked with and ate out of their and their ancestors’ canvases every day

This is the interior of a modern Kyrgyz yurt. Btw. Those tapestries on the walls and ceiling are usually made of felted wool and are for insulation (traditionally they were also for weather-proofing, but now that's usually done with plastic sheeting). The ribbing is traditionally bright red and the rugs and tapestries are also usually brightly colored. Many people involved in animal husbandry still live in these for part of the year, and some year-round.

The past and the culturally in-touch present were and are extremely colorful.

AutoMattBot I'm trying out this thing, it's trained on my blog posts and public talks, that you can chat with as me on Telegram. Behold: AutoMattBot.

Hey Matt, long time user here, first time scrolling the for you page and came across this. Gotta ask, how does it feel to get less engagement than the dozen or so posts I made about jacking off yesterday afternoon. It can’t feel great. You spent a lot of money acquiring this website. That’s rough, pal.

Hey guys the for you page sucks by the way

I guess sitting here ensconced in my little circle of mutuals I hadn’t realized how bad the general tumblr user was at posting but guys it’s dire. We may be the only real posters left.
