If you like weird stuff...like I do, watch this silent film from 1920. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is definitely a vibe. You can thank me later. 🫣 #1920s #silentfilm #horror #scary youtu.be/IP0KB2XC29o?...

Did you know? In the Victorian era, opium was not only confined to the notorious smoke-filled dens of London. It was in every home. Mothers fed their infants “quietness powders” made from morphine and the working poor relied on cheap laudanum to dull hunger and pain. #Victorian #history

It's about time I post my favorite classical piece again. I've been putting it off, but you can't expect me to be a good girl this month. If you're new to my profile, you'll see this piece several times a year. I'm obsessed. 🩶 #Victorian #classical #goth #horror youtu.be/YyknBTm_YyM?...

Did you know? In the Victorian era, Thomas Holloway became one of the richest men in England by selling “Holloway’s Pills” and “Holloway’s Ointment”. His pills were little more than a mix of aloe, myrrh, and saffron. He poured staggering sums into advertising them though. #Victorian #history

I watched her perform this song live and it was always my favorite part of their show. I miss going to small venue indie shows. 🥺 #FaunFables #indie #music #experimental youtu.be/4MI6hetKhzw?...

This is called All Is Vanity by C. Allan Gilbert (1892). I'm sure this illustration was even more poignant during the Victorian era. What do you think this little memento mori? #Victorian #illustration #death #goth #gothic #history #art #1800s

Did you know? In the Victorian era, beauty advice often blended common sense with danger. "The Ugly-Girl Papers" urged girls to bathe often, sleep well, and get fresh air, but it also suggested skin-lightening with arsenic wafers, and lotions laced with lead or mercury. #Victorian #history

I was sitting at Taco Bell when all the students arrived after their Homecoming dance. It was so funny watching the boys. They were so nervous and trying not to mess up. One boy was "being helpful" and another practiced his golf swing in the parking lot. I remember those facial expressions. 😂

Did you know? In the Victorian era, cats were often valued more for catching mice than for companionship. Then came illustrator Louis Wain, who filled newspapers and cards with whimsical scenes of cats drinking tea, playing games, and acting like proper Victorians. #Victorian #history

Did you know? In the Victorian era, there was a secret dining circle known as the Cannibal Club. The club mixed doctors, poets, and radical thinkers who delighted in the taboos of race, religion, and sex. It was also a network for the distribution of taboo pornography. 😕 #Victorian #history

I love watching people interact with my fellow neurodivergents in public. I was standing in line at the convenience store and the man in front of me bought sugar free gum and a diet soda. The lovely girl at the counter said, "Oh, sugar free! You must have diabetes!" 😂😂😂😂 #neurodivergent

This is The Sons of Clovis by Évariste Vital Luminais (1880). It depicts the sons of King Clovis II after their failed rebellion against him. As punishment, all of their tendons were severed and they were sent on a boat down the Seine. Thoughts? #Victorian #art #paintings #history

For me, it's a toss up between the woman with cake and the one who dreams of starting her own religion. Who caught your eye? #80s #vintage #retro youtu.be/IcQKCdQvUN4?...

My internet is finally back. 😓 My stepfather decided to "fix" something and I had to re-fix it.

Ladies: If a new nation formed and it was comprised entirely of women, would you apply for citizenship? It would be secular by law with an unimpeachable declaration of universal human rights. #women #girls #female #feminism #womensrights #suffrage

Did you know? In the Victorian era, some umbrellas were held aloft not by steel, but by whale bone. More precisely, they were ribbed with baleen—the springy keratin plates from a whale’s mouth. Flexible yet strong, baleen bent with the wind and snapped back into shape. #Victorian #history

What's wrong with me? I always crush on villains. 🫣 (Honestly, I crushed on both of these characters.) 😂 #lesbian #sapphic #40s #lgbtqia #PRIDE @drspookyer.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/NOvBR...

Did you know? In the Victorian era, butter was often fake! After margarine was invented, British traders frequently sold it fraudulently as real butter. Food inspectors uncovered shocking mixtures—mashed turnips, starch, and even plaster of Paris—masquerading as butter. #Victorian #history

I've been thinking about this episode all day. For those of you out of the loop, San Junipero (Black Mirror S3E4) is essentially required reading for all lesbians (and bisexual girls), yet a lot of us discovered it on accident. How did you discover it? #lesbian #sapphic youtu.be/qdp-Gg7e2vc?...

Did you know? In the Victorian era, Londoners flocked to the Aldgate Pump for its famously sweet-tasting water. But health officers discovered the grim truth: the pump’s supply was filtering through soil saturated with thousands of decomposing corpses from nearby churchyards. #Victorian #history
