Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Everett True Comics@midwest.social•Christening (July 7, 1907)English9·11 months agoThey were all off their rocker on wizard oil
I’ve heard nannyberries are tasty, but I’ve only ever seen them unripe in the summer. Maybe some day…
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Everett True Comics@midwest.social•Everett gets psychiatric advice (April 7, 1908)English11·11 months agoMan, just look at that facial expression. That’s a man in deep emotional pain.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Everett True Comics@midwest.social•Manifesting makes for annoyances (July 14, 1907)English13·11 months agoHey, wait, are these the same triplets he dove out of a window over in a previous comic? Didn’t realize there was continuity between these strips.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Everett True Comics@midwest.social•Sick? Have you tried growing a beard? (November 22, 1907)English21·11 months agoDid people really wear bandages around their necks for a sore throat back in the day, or is that just a comic strip way of visually conveying that info?
Also, damn, he knocked that guy right out of his suspenders.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Everett True Comics@midwest.social•Antiques (March 3, 1907)English7·11 months agoThat would be considered “vintage”. Antique today would indeed be from Everett’s time.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Everett True Comics@midwest.social•Convenient milk (June 7, 1919)English2·1 year agoI Iove that Lemmy is into a 100+ year old comic. What I’m curious about, is this a uniquely Lemmy phenomenon, or is this comic making the rounds on other corners of the Internet right now too?
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Everett True Comics@midwest.social•Vacation (July 17, 1908)English1·1 year agoIt’s funnier that way.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialMto Archaeology@mander.xyz•Histories of Labor in Archaeology - Bulletin of the History of ArchaeologyEnglish2·1 year agoWow, that last article was really interesting. I’d always heard legends of the unionization attempts in the 90s, cool to have the context of a zine by and for field techs from that time. I’ll have to spend some time on my next day off going through the archives (ten ten-hour days in a row, but apparently still not enough to be considered a “professional” archaeologist, let alone get health insurance!)
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialMto Archaeology@mander.xyz•Archaeologists Are Organizing to Dig Out of Poverty WagesEnglish14·1 year ago“meager benefits”, I wish. I have a specialized degree and nearly 15 years of experience in CRM, and I have absolutely none. No vacation, no sick leave, no health insurance, no retirement, nada. And essentially no chance of that changing without going back to school to get a master’s, and even then no guarantee. I hear legends from time to time of field techs trying to unionize back in the 90s and getting blacklisted, hopefully this time it takes off instead.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialOPto History@lemmy.world•Can witches fly? A historian unpacks the medieval invention − and skepticism − of the witch on a broomstickEnglish1·1 year agoFourth paragraph from the end:
Scholars have speculated that the ointments often mentioned in accounts of such flight might have functioned as hallucinogens, producing sensations of flying. The most thorough study of these accounts, however, finds that such references rarely appear in voluntary testimony. They come instead from authorities recording, and often reshaping, what accused witches said.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialOPto Google Pixel@lemmy.world•Pixel phones are broken again with critical storage permission bugEnglish182·1 year agoUnlike apple, who can totally be trusted.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Massive data dump containing millions of passwords sparks security alert: Is your data safe?English5·1 year agoI had to do that recently, ended up being easier to just temporarily change the password to something short on a pc, then change it back after.
Recreational Placebos@midwest.socialto Mycology@mander.xyz•I think this artist's conk is about to say something.English6·2 years agoD’oh!
Where’s Mrs True when you need her?
