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,...

It's Ten of the Clock: Do YOU Know Where Your Rosy Is?

(Have another Fantasy Heroine snippet, because Robin brings me joy, and the scene that comes right after this is currently doing my head in. This one takes place on the evening of the Feast of Remembrance.) ‘It’s ten of the clock, do you know where your wife is?’ Robin demanded, and Leo jumped. Leo was used to Robin appearing in unexpected places, but he had entered the Rose Room’s solar with uncanny stealth. Leo, who had been absorbed in one of the accounting ledgers that lined the bottom of the bookshelf, hadn’t even heard him. Leo shrugged. Robin crossed the room and glowered down at Leo, who waited to see if anything else was forthcoming. Robin said nothing further, so Leo returned to the ledger. ‘Why don’t you know where she is?’ ‘Why would I know where she is?’ Leo countered, turning a page. The ledger was flipped shut with a decisive thump . Leo looked up. ‘Because you won ,’ Robin said, exasperated. ‘The pair of you, with a little help from yours truly, of course,’ he adde...

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...
