Fun Fact: The 8 Hour Work Day Is A Rather Recent Concept.
Fun fact: the 8 hour work day is a rather recent concept.
Meaning, prior to that, people (on average) worked less per week. But I'm guessing it heavily depended on the person and the work demand
Imagine that: Joseph the scrib only worked 6 hours today, writing only 4 pages of this massive tome he's a part of doing.
Why 4 pages? The prep work for each page and the quills, the slow process of writing each word, and scratching out each mistake as they happen.
On the flip side, Nathaniel the local blacksmith is living in the shop all day and night because of the backlog of orders and repairs. He had to hire a couple apprentices to help and he's still behind.
Mat is a painter and he wasn't feeling it for the last week, so he's been causing havoc at the local market; putting things in the wrong booths which confuses the hell out of customers and annoys the merchants.

We went to MEDIEVAL DAY at the local museum and it was so much but I am so happy
We got to see blacksmithing! Someone was making an armour stand! I chatted to him about butted vs riveted mail! I got to do a little bit of tablet weaving AND got directions to a weaving group that meets at the same place as where the blacksmithing classes are held!! I got to talk about looms and spinning with fibre people!!
We had mulled wine and listened to a flute and nyckelharpa performance AND to top it all off we went to a viewing of the princess bride where we were encouraged to yell lines back at the screen and I got to introduce my friends to a new friend from art school and I want to set up my frame loom for tablet weaving AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (when I get back from dinner)

I don't speak human.
If "woke" means "everyone should be treated like human beings and we shouldn't destroy the planet for a profit" ... that should tell you a lot of what the other side is about.

I hate the way our world is built around money.
I genuinely hate how our entire society is built around money. We don't see people as human anymore, we see them as assets or burdens. We are all alive and I firmly believe that:
Immigrants are human;
Trans people are human;
People of color are human;
Queer people are human;
Intersex people are human;
People of any religion or no religion are human;
Every single human deserves the right to Healthcare, food, shelter, clothing, education and BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. Politicians see people as burdens, money or insignificant pawns in their game. This needs to stop. We all deserve to not only exist and live, but truly thrive. While the rich get richer, the rest of the world gets left behind. We are all equal, so we need to start fucking acting like it.

Ceaser was pronounced kay-sir, not see-zer. The letter C was pronounced like a K, not an S, and neither was S said like Z.
Kay-s'r not Seezer.
The j was also pronounced like an I or Y
Yul-ee-os kay-sir or kie-sir, not jul-ee-us see-z'r.
In American idiot by Green Day, is it:
"Everything dementedly okay" or "Nothing's meant to be okay", or is it "everything's not meant to be okay?" Because I've always heard the former until someone did a cover, and they said the latter.
They're equally fucked up and fitting.
