Hairsticks, A History

Image
Hairsticks, A History  Let me tell you about the most wonderful (and probably oldest) hair accessory in the world:  the hair stick , also known as a  hair pin  or a  hair bodkin . Or  kanzashi , or  binyeo,  or…they have many names. You’ll see. If you’re a fan of  Janet Stephens , hairdressing archaeologist, you’ll be familiar with the term ‘bodkin’ as she uses it a lot. If you’re not a fan of Janet Stephens, whyever not? Hair sticks have been used to restrain long hair for...probably as long as humans have had long hair, to be honest. Before we had bobbles/hair ties, before we had elaborate fancy schmancy barrettes or claw clips or any of that, we had...sticks.  And because humans like pretty things which are also durable, there are some beautiful examples of very old hair sticks which are made from bone and gold and silver and all sorts. With some super fancy decoration, too. Did I hear you ask for pictures? My friend,...

How To Filter Words In YouTube Comments

Image
Do you have a YouTube channel? Do you want to hold comments with particular words in them to check  (or delete) before they appear below your videos? YouTube can do that! With a feature called  Blocked Words . Blocked Words will hold any YouTube comment that contains words that you put on your list. So if you have a specific problem with, say, conspiracy theorists, you can automatically hold any comment that contains the word...I don't know, Thetans, or whatever. And then you can go look in your held comments every now and again to check that nobody's got stuck in there that shouldn't. To access Blocked Words, go to your YouTube main page, open the menu by clicking your face or whatever your icon is, and click  Creator Studio . Now look to your left. What’s that? It’s not a narwhal, but it IS the Creator Studio menu. Click  COMMUNITY . Fab. Now from the dropdown menu choose  Community Settings : And lo, what light from yonder window breaks? It i...

#ChooseBeautiful? #WhatsYourWay? Dove Really Just Want Your Cash

Image
Dove are a company selling personal care products for women. You may have heard of them.  They were in the news in the summer of 2017 for a somewhat…err… misjudged  ad campaign for Baby Dove in which they talk about breastfeeding in public, and feeding crying babies in general, and somehow this has something to do with soap? I guess? I guess the idea was supposed to be “YOU GO GIRL, whatever your way is that’s totally fine [PS: buy our stuff]” but it does seem like serious ignorance over how contentious baby feeding is.  Thanks for reminding new mothers that people see breastfeeding as disgusting and gross, Dove! Thing is, either: - they really didn’t think this through, or - they’re intentionally courting controversy to sell body wash. And honestly it could be either. Because Dove doesn’t REALLY care about you. It just wants you to buy stuff. Specifically their stuff. Furthermore, Dove are owned by Unilever, the same corporation which owns, amo...
