I can sense pregnancy rewiring my brain to prep for motherhood bc now when I see a picture of a smiling baby I can literally FEEL dopamine popping off in my brain. Like seeing babies makes me happy on a chemical level. Wild

The Newfoundland and Labrador public libraries continue to make the absolute best free pins that you can just have if you go to borrow a book
A pin on a desk, it has a codfish silhouette holding a library card, with the words "having fun isn't hard when you've got a library cod"

me: fandom is so weird you get super invested in the doings of these other people who don't even care about your opinion most of the time and your entire day is based on whether they did good or feel bad and then you have to feel the same way

mom: This is just parenthood

What I love about Matt is he is super comfortable handling guns but also simultaneously looks like an accountant from your dad's work who has a great potato salad recipe

The Devil’s Dance Floor
Late-Victorian London and the Last Bareknuckle Boys
SARAH ELIZABETH COX
An 1880s’ group biography of the last of Britain’s 
bareknuckle boxers from the historical consultant behind 
A Thousand Blows (Disney+/Hulu)
THE DEVIL’S DANCE FLOOR is the first popular book from Sarah Elizabeth Cox, 
the historical consultant behind Steven Knight’s television series A Thousand Blows
and author of the historical blog ‘Grappling with History’.
A group biography of Victorian boxers, THE DEVIL’S DANCE FLOOR is a cultural 
history that does far more than recount the true story behind the fictionalized
version now streaming. Taking a narrative approach, Cox charts the decline of 
bareknuckle boxing over the 1880s, and, in doing so, explores subjects ranging 
from policing and healthcare to the press and entertainment – all while offering a 
personal-scale view of the melting point of Victorian London (think Hallie 
Rubenhold’s The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper but 
with a lot more getting punched in the face).
The subjects themselves hail from as far afield as London’s East End and the North 
to the United States and the Caribbean. Each has a unique story to tell and reveals
something not only about our shared history but also about the world we live in 
today.
Sarah Elizabeth Cox was a historical consultant on season one and two of Steven Knight's 
1880s’ boxing and crime TV drama A Thousand Blows. She researches biographies of 
Victorian and Edwardian boxers and wrestlers for her website ‘Grappling with History’ and 
works as the British Science Association’… 1888 portrait of boxer Hezekiah Moscow, a slim Black or Black/East Asian mixed heritage man, taken by Harry Carpenter. He is shirtless, fists raised, wearing white tights and a chequered sash at the waist. There are painted palms on the studio backdrop.
