Putting random stuff here until I can figure out where it goes. This part
won't all have descriptions in, I'm getting to it when I can. It should look much better by the
weekend.

Gilbert
"Designed as a springboard for those who wish to learn a little more about
the medieval woman: what she wears and why, how to be beautiful according to medieval standards, her

You Feel Like Shit
"This is meant to be an interactive flow chart for people who struggle

take as much of the weight off of you as possible, so each decision is very easy and doesn't require much
judgment.
Set aside some time--maybe an hour total- to allow yourself to work through each step.
Don't rush or skip ahead--just follow the directions. Self care is important, and you deserve to devote some
time to it.
You may want to go through this routine as soon as you wake up, as a preventative
measure."

"Hou tu pranownse
Inglish"
"Everybody agrees that English spelling is horrible.
There have been
almost as many proposals for spelling reform as there are rewrites of Esperanto. (Tellingly, there has been
precisely one success in each category-- Noah Webster and Ido-- and neither caught on universally.) Most of
these proposals spend their energy fixing what isn't broken. For instance, they search hard for clever new
ways of spelling the ch sound-- even though ch does the job just fine in hundreds of languages. Or, they
insist on 'correcting' the Great Vowel Shift, using Italian values for the vowels.
Whenever the
subject comes up, someone is sure to bring up all the words in -ough, or George Bernard Shaw's ghoti-- a
word which illustrates only Shaw's wiseacre ignorance. English spelling may be a nightmare, but it does have
rules, and by those rules, ghoti can only be pronounced like goatee.
The purpose of this page is
to describe those rules-- to explain the system behind English spelling, the rules that tell you how to
pronounce a written word correctly over 85% of the time."

Communities

what happened to the inhabitants after they moved away. We will also be interested in what you are likely to
find if you visit the place today, and in this respect you will notice that the observations and experiences
of the author will often be recorded."
