I like Francis Brooks' quote about modern history starting with Cortes and Montezuma's meeting in 1519, so I'm going with that. The vibes are immaculate with that one.

DJJIB-DJDCT posted:Are people joking about not knowing what a knife rest is? I put the knife down. And I have never seen a knife rest at homes or restaurants; the knife is set down with two points of contact on the outside of the dish. No saucers but my standing desk at work did come with a little rubber mug trivet to keep it from sliding around when you raise or lower it? Some restaurants or friends who like Crate and Barrel may have chopstick rests but they’re pretty rarely deployed

FirstnameLastname posted:British "culture" Yank culture. Canadian and American manners, according to David Hackett Fischer, differ because Canada was settled by Britons who arrived during the Georgian era, and brought language and customs directly from the Old Sod. Canada, Fischer says, was founded as a mirror of the Britain of the 1750's, while our American cousins were a century or more in the past. Because of the close association between Canada and the mother country, and British manners being de rigueur until the mid 1960's, while occasionally "provincial", Canadians generally kept up with British custom. By comparison, direct cultural exchange was severed at the moment of America's inception, and so as Charles Dickens observed in his 1842 travels in the Americas, the Americans were a people out of time.

Happy President’s Day! Recently I learned that Abraham Lincoln was over the moon for cats! Did you know? (I didn’t!) He’s even believed to be the first president to live with cats at the White House! 🎩🇺🇸 Lincoln loved cats so much that when Mary Todd was asked what her husband’s hobby was, she answered “cats.” He was gifted two lady cats from his Secretary of State, William Steward. Lincoln named them Tabby and Dixie and pampered them lovingly, even feeding Tabby at the table during a formal White House dinner! Legend has it that when Mary Todd suggested feeding his cat from the table at state dinners wasn’t the best idea, Lincoln replied, “If the gold fork was good enough for former President Buchanan, I think it is good enough for Tabby…” ❤️ Another story tells that Lincoln once remarked “Dixie is smarter than my whole cabinet! And furthermore she doesn’t talk back!” …Dixie sounds like Puck or Burt, lol! Lincoln was known to sometimes take in stray cats or come to their aid. 🥹❤️ In the last days of the Civil War, as Lincoln visited General Grant on the battlefield, Colonel Porter wrote about the president taking in three motherless kittens he heard crying outside the tent. He wrote of Lincoln’s gentle kindness to the three kittens, sitting with them cradled in lap. A direct quote from his writings describes the scene with warm respect, “He would wipe their eyes tenderly with his handkerchief, stroke their smooth coats, and listen to them purring their gratitude to him. …at an army headquarters, upon the eve of a great military crisis in the nation’s history, to see the hand which had affixed the signature to the Emancipation Proclamation and had signed the commissions… from the general-in-chief to the lowest lieutenant, tenderly caressing three stray kittens.” [Abraham Lincoln: The War Years, Volume IV, p. 146.] …Colonel Porter wrote that Lincoln quietly said to the orphaned trio, “Kitties, thank God you are cats, and can’t understand this terrible strife that is going on.” Where did that political quote go?? I’d love to hang that one on the wall! Before he left the battlefield, President Lincoln told another colonel present, “I hope you will see that these poor little motherless waifs are given plenty of milk and treated kindly.” I’ve been researching Lincoln and his cats for a few weeks, hoping to find any photographs, drawings, or even physical descriptions of Tabby and Dixie. While many Photoshops exist with cats edited into photos of Lincoln, I could find no credible images of the first feline ladies! I thought that surely there would at least be some illustrations or wood prints—nothing! And so, you may be looking at some of the only images of Tabby and Dixie. I guessed at their fur patterns, but imagined Tabby was likely a tabby-cat. I hope I’ve done them justice! I hope you have a happy President’s Day! As you tend to your cats today, remember our gentle-eyed sixteenth president generously taking in three baby cats from the battlefield. The next time someone tells you not to feed your cats from the dinner table, just tell them you’re being presidential. And in hard times, tell your feline friends, “Kitties, thank God you are cats, and can’t understand this terrible strife that is going on…” ❤️🇺🇸

the degree of homogeneity in us culture and dialect is honestly astonishing to me it's a country spanning a continent with a population of 300 million with a difference of attitude and language which i find completely approachable as a citizen of a polity almost a hundred times smaller

hell Russian is surprisingly uniform across Siberia and the far east, most variation you will find in the core European regions but even there it’s surprisingly homogenous. but like America I guess much of it was settled pretty late, not including the various peoples already living there
