"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty"

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #my post #friendly reminder that there's nothing indicating that Elizabeth was exceptionally pious or that her piety was 'beyond purely conventional' #(something first claimed by Anne Crawford who simultaneously claimed that Elizabeth was 'grasping and totally lacking in scruple' so...) #EW's piety as queen may have stood out compared to former 15th century predecessors and definitely stood out compared to her husband #but her actions in themselves were not especially novel or 'beyond normal' and by themselves don't indicate unusual piety on her part #As Laynesmith's more recent research observes they seem to have been 'broadly conventional' #A conclusion arrived at Derek Neal as well who also points out that in general queens and elite noblewomen simply had wider means #of 'visible material expression of [their] personal devotion' - and also emphasizes how we should look at their wider circumstances #to understand their actions (eg: the death of Elizabeth's son George in 1479 as a motivating factor) #It's nice that we know a bit about Elizabeth's more personal piety - for eg she seems to have developed an attachment to Westminster Abbey #It's possible her (outward) piety increased across her queenship - she undertook most of her religious projects in later years #But again - none of them indicate the *level* of her piety (ie: they don't indicate that she was beyond conventionally pious) #By 1475 it seems that contemporaries identified Cecily Neville as the most personally devout from the Yorkist family #(though Elizabeth and even Cecily's sons were far greater patrons) #I think people also assume this because of her retirement to Westminster post 1485 #which doesn't work because 1) we don't actually know when she retired? as Laynesmith says there is no actual evidence for the traditional #date of 12 February 1487 #2) she had very secular reasons for retiring (grief over the death of her children? her lack of dower lands or estates which most other #widows had? her options were very limited; choosing to reside in the abbey is not particularly surprising. it's a massive and unneeded jump #to claim that it was motivated solely by piety (especially because it wasn't a complete 'retirement' in the way people assume it was) #I think historians have a habit of using her piety as a GOTCHA!' point against her vilification - which is a flawed and stupid argument #Elizabeth could be the most pious individual in the world and still be the pantomime villain Ricardians/Yorkists claim she was #They're not mutually exclusive; this line of thinking is useless #I think this also stems from the fact that we simply know very little about Elizabeth as an individual (ie: her hobbies/interests) #certainly far less than we do for other prominent women Margaret of Anjou; Elizabeth of York;; Cecily Neville or Margaret Beaufort #and I think rather than emphasizing that gap of knowledge her historians merely try to fill it up with 'she was pious!' #which is ... an incredibly lackluster take. I think it's better to just acknowledge that we don't know much about this historical figure #ie: I do wish that her piety and patronage was emphasized more yes. but it shouldn't flip too far to the other side either.

WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? Greatest Hits

#when (wrestler) sting retired recently my brother and i RACED to make this joke to each other #whose line is it anyway #whose line #wliia #whoselineedit #wliiaedit #colin mochrie #ryan stiles #sting #tv: whose line #g~ #gif: whose line

in saras minisode joe says that he doesnt have many memories of his father when he was alive which means that he died when joe was very young and im 99.9% certain that joes dad was mr policeman which means that keiji killed him at least 5 years before the events of the game which means that throughout all these years hes made a conscious decision to keep this hairstyle.

#you could argue that we don't really know how long hes been like this #but him just dying his hair right before the death game would be too random. and it does look like it was dyed recently #like we dont see the hair roots #it is very intentional that he dyes his hair blonde after the incident because in japan blond hair means a delinquent #so i do think its rational to assume that he got this haircut like within a year after retiring #i am kind of tired i cant english properly but do you understand me. do you understand

Wormriders, or as I've recently taken to calling it, gnu plus Linux.

《 Is it a little ambitious to start making a game with ✨️ Vibes ✨️ alone? Perhaps. Am I doing it anyways? Yup.

Someone send me a spreadsheet or something because I have no idea how to write a consecutive plot.

It'll be fineeeeeee. 》

Look, I know the chances of Dabi getting out of jail/rehab after the main storyline are slim to none BUT IM JUST SAYING: if he was ever able to be released, I would totally make him into my house husband. No questions asked. 🥺🥺

coolest professor i ever had in art school was a woman in who taught a few different media analysis type courses + "history of animation" (super popular class. literally took me 2 years to get into). dont know her exact age but she was at least her late 60s (mentioned her grandchildren and living thru the polio epidemic)

she was one of the first americans to become a full blown Anime Scholar in the 90s. according to her she discovered anime because she accidentally rented akira for her 10 year old son thinking it was a kids movie. she got so into it that she changed her major and became fluent in japanese so she could get her phd in japanese studies, lived in japan on & off and did translation work

she was really involved in the early western anime fandom and would tell us abt diy anime bootlegger shit from that era. she also just, totally unrelated to any of the coursework, brought in old queer art/comic zines for us to look at

anime wasnt the focus of the history course tho lol. but she did a good job of highlighting a lot of rly neat obscure animation especially non western stuff. a lot of the class was just screenings and all of them were bangers

also she was rly one of those rare profs whos so engaging & clearly passionate abt what they're teaching her classes felt less like classes and more like hanging out with someone whos infodumping at you

she kept alluding to wanting to do a unit about hentai but then she'd be like no i'm not allowed probably. i could go on though. she said her favorite anime of all time was yuri on ice. raddest person ever to be honest

#woof #i also cant emphasize enough. she looked like a normal suburban grandma & would start talking about ranma 1/2 lore #sorry for the long ass post. reminiscing. i heard she retired recently im keeping her in my thoughts

Learning Jay got kicked out moodboard

#this is the first time its made me like. genuinely upset. #like I could understand Craig. He's been in the band a long ass time. #retirement is highly plausible #but Jay? Why? #like. it just doesnt make sense #and he seemed to be really coming into his own recently god im so fucking upset #morri mumbles #slipknot

[official-darkforest]

dont ask me to comment on anything cheetz related i don't know what the fuck he does outside of the maps im just there to have fun i don't pay attention to what he says online outside of that

#i do know what happened recently + the retirement. not gonna say anything aside from the thing he said in response to photosensitivity #concern was stupid impulsive and insensitive #im not expecting anyone to bother me about it honestly but at the same time i jsut wanna make it clear or smth yknow

[lesamis]

i learned the grade for my phd thesis today (it's v good! i'm v happy!) & my supervisor took that as occasion to sit down with me and talk about The Future for a bit, and she clearly cares and i'm thankful for her, but the sheer ivory tower out-of-touch-ness of academics will never stop baffling me. like they'll ask you about your new job (admin & public service), and you tell them you're enjoying it and loving all the mental space it's freed up, and they'll be like cool! but you are looking for something better, right?

and it's like. no. i'm really super not. i understand that professors look down on this kind of work, which is one thing, they're snobs, i can't change that. but to not take someone's word for it when they say they find their job fulfilling and rewarding is kind of. ungenerous? not to mention condescending? like please don't call a less mentally taxing job a "waste of potential" when it was working in academia that stopped me from producing literally any writing i cared about or felt proud of for nearly four years

#if there IS any potential still to be reached i'm not reaching it in limited contracts worrying about whether i'll have a job next year lol #anyway i'm here to say if you're on the fence about whether to stay in academia. #do not do it. it really doesn't get easier from here on out in fact it'll probably get harder #and i know it feels good to be encouraged. and you want to do right by people who have faith in you. but god #i'm so tired of wealthy tenured profs who have 2 years to retirement thinking they can give advice without understanding our realities #ma'am no one is funding the humanities anymore. ma'am my friend recently applied for a postdoc position with 200+ applicants. ma'am

It is absolutely astonishing to me that so many people genuinely feel and will speak as if they're some kind of authority in an area of expertise in which they have zero credentials or any practical knowledge whatsoever. There are several topics on which I could speak at some length because I've read enough that I feel confident enough to contribute to a conversation about them--but even then, even subjects on which I've read a LOT, across many different sources, I would never presume to present myself as an expert, and I'm well aware that even as much as I know is a mere drop in the bucket. I legitimately cannot fathom feeling that I'm more knowledgeable than multiple experts in a given field because Fox News gave me a talking point to run with or whatever.

#my dad is a good example of this #a recently retired machinist #with absolutely zero knowledge of the medical field at all #let alone how viruses work #yet he magically became an expert on viruses and covid in particular as soon as the pandemic began
