Ppl who join SM history groups because they are Excited To Learn! but then get all cranky when someone politely explains their pop/Hollywood-fueled version of something is BS.

Don't mind me. Long day. Just kvetching. Would appreciate a drinking horn refill...Chardonnay is good... #ceshistorybits

George Conway wrote a check for $929,600 — the max you can give to the Biden Victory Fund. Kellyann is somewhere right now being very upset.

thread 2 Threaded Spouts
On 1 April 1204 Eleanor of Aquitaine died at age 80. Among her many achievements & claims to fame was her tempestuous marriage to King Henry II of England.

Eleanor & Henry's effigies rest side by side today at Fontevrault Abbey in France. And even in death very little has changed.

If you hang out on SM history groups for awhile, you see real soon there are a LOT of misconceptions out there about the Middle Ages. So to help w/this, some kind medievalist (not me!) has constructed this handy Medieval Myth Bingo card! Have fun! 😄 #Medieval #History #CesHistoryBits

Since it's that time of year...PLEASE do NOT buy your kid a chick, duckling, or bunny unless you have a plan to take care of it once it's no longer a cute novelty.

Our bunny Wizzie thanks you from Bunny Heaven. #Bunnies #BunniesOfSpoutible

Welp, there goes Toblerone... The manufacturing op is being moved to Slovakia & after this year, due to Swiss laws, will not only no longer be able to say "Product of Switzerland" on the package, they'll also have to lose the iconic image of the Matterhorn.

What about those masks? They're almost all produced by local artisans & are quite complicated! An original sculpture is done, then molds taken & hardened masks produced. And *then* they have to be painted & decorated! We used to do the last bit for some friends. #Fasnacht

So what are #Guggemusik groups? They're marching bands of ordinary people in elaborate themed costumes & masks who spend #Fasnacht playing at different locations & marching in the 3 official Umzugs (parades). All volunteers, they spend the whole year preparing for these few grueling days!

Once off the boat, the Fritschis process to the nearby Kapellplatz fountain where they toss candy & oranges to the cheering crowd, exhorted by the Jester to "Cry out!" until bags of confetti explode overhead to rain down while #Guggemusik groups march thru.

The ppl on the boat are Bruder Fritschi, his family & household, returned from the medieval past to preside over #Fasnacht . The masks they wear date back to the 14th century when Fritschi, a wealthy local farmer, left money to the Saffron Guild to pay for treats for poor ppl during #Fasnacht .

#Fasnacht begins the Thursday before Ash Wednesday before dawn w/the #Tagwach when a torchlit boat w/motionless figures comes out of the darkness across the lake. The lights go off & at the stroke of 5 am, fireworks go off & the #Guggemusik starts to play!

So...#Fasnacht...
What is #Fasnacht ? It's Luzern, #Switzerland 's version of Carnival, very different from NOLA Mardi Gras or Venice Carnevale. For 6 days out of the year, this elegant, genteel city goes wild w/ppl & marching bands wandering the streets in every kind of costume imaginable.
