His and Hers sporting dress from 1837, Journal des Dames et des Modes (Rijksmuseum).
"Robe & pantalon en lasting" caught my eye (apparently referring to the woman's clothes), and Valerie Cumming's fashion history dictionary defines this textile:
Everlasting, lasting
Period: 18th century to ca. 1840.
A stout worsted fabric with double warps and single weft. “A cloth with a shining surface” (1829).
I usually don't focus on women's dress but I really love her outfit with the pantaloons beneath her shorter skirt, and the beautiful stock with masculine frilled shirt! (Sporting dress and equestrian dress for women are wonderful for their masculine tailoring). Women's sleeves are pretty deflated by the late 1830s, but hers seem extra-tight and very 1840s-looking, perhaps for practical considerations. It also looks like she has a feminine version of Albert boots.
If anything, the man's dress seems less functional for outdoor activities, with his light coutil trousers that not only have a footstrap but seem to be almost covering his shoes.

A real love is all I ask for
I'll never not second guess someone. 
every time i get comfortable 
and let myself settle down,
the rug gets swept from under my feet
and their gone before i can get back up. 
i know the feeling all too well
yet i continue to let people in,
hoping to find the right person. 
i want a soft love
crisp as the october air 
and as gentle as the warm sun.
and i want it to last, this time. 
please let it last. 
i don’t want to feel like i’m 
not good enough, 
that i’m not built for love 
though i happen to be so full of it, 
but everywhere i turn
leads me to dead ends. 
all im left with is myself and
the pit in my stomach that 
will seemingly never 
go away.  
maybe i am 
unloveable, 
but i’ll never stop 
running from it.  
A real love is all I ask for

Expansive Abundance.
by Daniel Wolfert. This is a meme I created a few years ago after a deep meditation on the emptiness of materialism. I’ve posted it quite a few times and every once in a while someone comments something to the effect of “Why can’t we have both abundance and personal growth?” The answer is (drum roll please) we can! The two are not mutually exclusive. This meme is asking us what our focus is on;…

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

Infatuation is a spark, momentary. Love is like a sun, or a moon, or stars, in the sky - in different forms and shapes, but the light is there, all throughout...

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
