On April 13, 1985, Danuta Danielsson - a Jewish-Polish woman whose mother was taken to a concentration camp in WWII - hit a local neonazi with her handbag in Växjö, Sweden.
Update: The neonazis were subsequently expelled from the city, and a statue was erected in her honor.
This week 34 years ago, Danuta Danielsson demonstrated how much respect fascists deserve.
Well played, Danuta Danielsson.
And good aim.
She hit them so hard they were banished from that land forever. Iconic
Do you have any favorite sources for learning about medieval things? I just recently got into doing research of that period for my own project and it is daunting for sure and hard to pick out what is nonsense sometimes
Basically a medieval Wikipedia (with a pretty awful title font) which means that it won’t tell you much but will be able to give some basic knowledge you can base you further research on.
A very nice video with plenty of facts about Medieval Life. VERY good for worldbuilding since it tells you about Medieval Life from the perspective of you being there. (It also has a few good book recommendations in description.)
And a documentary about Medieval Feast from the same YouTube channel.
(Note that as far as I know most of the information that we have on Medieval Recipes we have from Nobility since poor were not able to record them. So a lot of information you’ll find on Medieval Eating might not be applicable to all classes.)
✸ For clothes, jewelry and decorative ornaments I usually use
“The Costume History” by Auguste Racinet
“The World of Ornament” by Auguste Racinet & Auguste Dupont-Auberville
Just like Medieval Chronicles it doesn’t have a lot of detailed information on the period but points out important parts and has lots of examples.
✸ I personally don’t make the world of Forest Manuscripts extremely historically accurate for the sake of storytelling.
For example I have a few smoking characters and tobacco wasn’t introduced to Europe until the 16th century which is a bit later.
Before you break some rules it is important to know history but yeah breaking rules is totally fine unless it’s a documentary thing!
