1926: “This girl has all of [the] trends and she’s not loath to wear them at once: bell earrings, a dog collar worn as a necklace, a large beauty spot on her cheek, an ivory cigarette holder, a design to cover the vaccination mark on her arm, heavy bracelets, an anklet, a photo of a boyfriend on her stocking, an anklet watch, fancy garters worn below the knee and a mirror fastened to her wrist.”

Waiting for wristwatch anklets to make a comeback

i think it would be rly funny to be buried with extreme pomp and ceremony in a neolithic burial mound so in 2,000 years new wave archaeologists get confused and have to consider that 1. we never stopped using them or 2. at some point we just started using them again (for reasons other than it being funny)

I've just finished reading "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" (Wayfarers Series, Becky Chambers) - which sat on my to-read list for far too long and which I loved! Its been a bit since I've last read through a book in one go, completely forgetting time - So here's a little sketch of Sissix & Ashby. :)

Question for German speakers

What's the difference between "Aschenputtel" and" Aschenbrödel"?

I know they're both alternative names for Cinderella. "Aschenputtel" is the name the Brothers Grimm used and is more of the "standard" German name for her, while "Aschenbrödel" was used by another 19th century folktale collector, Ludwig Bechstein, and is used as her name in the German version of Three Nuts/Wishes for Cinderella: Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel.

But what's the difference in meaning between the two names? "Aschen" means "ashes," of course, but what do "-puttel" and "-brödel" mean? Even though I studied German for a year, those were terms I never learned.
