One old guy started watching fox news and decided that our museum was too unsafe to loan his precious artifacts collection to because new england is full of liberal migrants, and now all his artifacts are literally going to go up in smoke. I BET YOU FEEL REAL SUPERIOR NOW, GARY

I don’t mind people who are surface-level misinformed on something. Like they only know one fact and it’s wrong, but they’re not invested. Those people you can just correct. The real insidious ones have moved up a step and have like, watched a single documentary that they wildly misinterpreted, and then go around “correcting” everyone else’s misinformation with different misinformation that’s still wrong.
Tell me again that the Salem Witch Trials didn’t happen in Salem and I will come for you in the middle of the night. Like Bridget Bishop.
@arches-of-moonlight-and-sky Because they learn that the accusations of witchcraft began in what is now a town known as Danvers, conveniently ignoring that Danvers didn’t become a separate town until the 1750s. In 1692 it was a village incorporated into the town of Salem. This is a bit like saying that the Empire State Building is not in New York City because it is actually in Manhattan.
It’s also just as misleading because 1. the first finger-pointing took place in Salem Village, but the trials did take place in the larger downtown that is still known as Salem, because that’s where the courthouse was, and 2. there were nearly 25 communities involved by the time all that finger-pointing was said and done, but The Greater Essex County Witch Panic doesn’t have the same ring to it.
When I teach intro classes, usually for painting, programs, or especially tools, I pause about 30% through the course, and I ask them if they know what the Dunning-Kruger effect is. I then explain to them that right now, when you’re feeling more confident than you ever have, is the most dangerous time, because you know enough to be confident, but not enough to be good.
Same principle, but I get to warn them about losing fingers if they stay over confident, and yours get to fear your wrath if they stay over confident.
Just Past A Novice is the most annoying phase in all things.
The story of a marble worker Evrard Flignot from Brussels who devastated by the death of his wife built a pretty mausoleum for her in Cimetière de Laeken.
At first look inside, there is a mourner reaching out to an empty wall. But, once a year, on the day of the summer solstice, the Sun draws a light that recalls this love for almost a century.
