Now I'm pissed. I'm looking at this picture and I can't believe that World War I happened because of this guy.
That was when the curse began. You can't deny that.
I KNOW THE WAR DIDN'T HAPPEN >BECAUSE OF HIM< AND HIS ASSASSINATION WAS ONLY THA CATALYST YOU DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME BECAUSE DEALING WITH HISTORY IS BASICALLY WHAT I DO 24/7 AND I ALSO HAVE A BOOK ON WW1 PUBLISHED THANK YOU SO MUCH.

*sigh*
You guys need to laugh more often
If you're not @dgjones you have no permission to mansplain things to me

Street vendor selling mummies in Egypt, 1875.

During the Victorian era, it was common practice for the elites to buy those and then hold “Mummy Unwrapping Parties”. Mummies were also often ground into a powder and transformed into, for example, pigment.
The pigment known as "Mummy Brown"
In 1964, the pigment's manufacturer had no more mummies to grind up. “We might have a few odd limbs lying around somewhere, but not enough to make any more paint. We sold our last complete mummy some years ago for, I think, £3."

Andrée's Arctic balloon expedition of 1897 was an effort to reach the North Pole in a voyage by hydrogen balloon from Svalbard to either Russia or Canada, which was to pass, with luck, straight over the North Pole on the way.

Spoiler alert: it didn't end well.
All three Swedish expedition members – S. A. Andrée, Knut Frænkel, and Nils Strindberg – perished.
The explorers minutes before takeoff on 11 July.

The Anti-Flirt Club was an American club active in Washington, D.C., during the early 1920s. The purpose of the club was to protect young women and girls who received unwelcome attention from men in automobiles and on street corners.

The club had a series of rules:
1. Don't flirt: those who flirt in haste often repent in leisure.

2. Don't accept rides from flirting motorists—they don't invite you in to save you a walk.

3. Don't use your eyes for ogling—they were made for worthier purposes.
4. Don't go out with men you don't know—they may be married, and you may be in for a hair-pulling match.

5. Don't wink—a flutter of one eye may cause a tear in the other.

6. Don't smile at flirtatious strangers—save them for people you know.

Colorized by me: Suffrage, March on Capitol. 🇺🇸 “I think, with never-ending gratitude, that the young women of today do not and can never know at what price their right to free speech and to speak at all in public has been earned.” - Lucy Stone.

I won’t stop talking about my diagnosis only because it bothers you. That’s your problem, not mine. Thanks very much.
Also, there’s no cure for autism. Thanks again
