- soap is a motherfucking medieval invention
- Your peasant ass
- Medieval bathhouses were big fucking business.
- Sex workers be showing right TF up in the public baths.
- clearly, fucking clearly medieval people bathed
- they wanted you to not be going down the bath house and getting your fuck on.
- Hitting your chest with rocks and sitting in the desert trying not to wank
This is completely unnecessary.
You forget this is supposed to be a scientist we're talking about here. Someone with a PhD. Great adult example for the kids.
- Osmose 4y agoFolks with PhDs (and/or scientists) swear _all the time_, especially on their own blog that has "swearing" in the subheader as the third most important descriptor and that isn't aimed directly at children. This has nothing to do with the credibility of the article except as tone policing.
- raarts 4y agoBeing part of a (STEM) college faculty, I communicate with scientists on a regular basis. They are usually very polite and precise in their language. Sidenote: nothing wrong with tone policing most of the time. It is exactly what parents do when they raise kids.
- UncleMeat 4y agoIt's a fun blog, not a journal article. And it seems to be successful. She's one of the more widely known public historians of the medieval period. Medievalists, in my experience, love this stuff. If you spend time on medieval twitter you'll find them sharing loads and loads of dirty images found in old books.
- prvc 4y agoAlso worth considering that the author refers to herself with the title "Dr.", suggesting an implicit demand to receive all the respect and prestige that presumptively attends such an honorific.
