can't wait til they die of consumption

Gabriel's workout clothes were copied from the racing outfit of a Victorian cyclist, and when he goes swimming, his hand-knit wool swim trunks raise more than a few eyebrows — but this is just the least of the abuse we've taken. We have been called "freaks," "bizarre," and an endless slew of far worse insults. We've received hate mail telling us to get out of town and repeating the word "kill ... kill ... kill." Every time I leave home I have to constantly be on guard against people who try to paw at and grope me. Dealing with all these things and not being ground down by them, not letting other people's hostile ignorance rob us of the joy we find in this life — that is the hard part. By comparison, wearing a Victorian corset is the easiest thing in the world.

btw, "kill...kill...kill" is not a single word

I take some small comfort in assuming she doesn't vote

so this is a trending topic now; feeling trolled

I love my fantasies so much I decided to live in them. Nothing new in that.

She's got a website

" The late Victorian era was an incredibly dynamic time, with so many new and extraordinary inventions it seemed anything was possible. Interacting with tangible items from that time helps us connect with and share that optimism."

ah but then who is the real Victorian, someone who wears woollen Speedos or the businessman with his iPhone and Eggmaster?

optimism & innovation was the Victorian era's death knell

Oh man my colleague is a Victorianist and just posted on Facebook that he's set up an interview with these people.

if they were that deep in the game she would have called them poison pen letters instead of hate mail

Great that these people aren't smart enough to know there's probably an 80-90% chance that in the Victorian era they would have lived in a filthy slum and died early of sulphur poisoning, not been members of the fucking leisure class.

Not everyone necessarily wants to live the same lifestyle we have chosen, of course. But anyone can benefit from choices that increase their awareness of their surroundings and the way things they use every day affect them.

"I'm so aware of my surroundings and the world we live in that I use ancient inefficient lightbulbs and burn kerosene right in my house!"

This is why more people don't follow their dreams: They know the world is a cruel place for anyone who doesn't fit into the dominant culture.

No, most people have to work for a fucking living.

They're called cheerLEADERS, not cheerFOLLOWERS.

And because you are a role model, your behavior brought out like behavior in the stands. Some of the Panthers fans in our section began taunting the hometown fans. Many Titans fans booed you, a few offering instructive, but not necessarily family friendly, suggestions as to how you might change your behavior.

My daughter sensed the change immediately – and started asking questions. Won’t he get in trouble for doing that? Is he trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows he looks like a spoiled brat?

I didn’t have great answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day, I redirected her attention to the cheerleaders and mascot.
