The Witch of Joshua Ward House
This Georgian and Federal style building was constructed by Joshua Ward, a wealthy merchant sea captain, in the late 1780s on the remaining foundations of former sheriff George Corwinā€™s house on Washington Street in Salem, Massachusetts.
Corwin was a bloody figure whose zeal added to the unfortunate events surrounding Salem in the late 1600s. Nicknamed ā€˜The Stranglerā€™ after his preferred torture (which included tying his prone victimsā€™ necks to their ankles until the blood ran from their noses), he is said to have been responsible for many of the ā€˜witchesā€™ā€™ deaths, including that of Giles Corey who was crushed to death by placing heavy stones on his chest in order to extract a confession.
Legend states that just before he died, Corey cursed the sheriff and all sheriffs that follow in his wake, for Corwinā€™s despicable acts. It should be noted here that every sheriff since Corey uttered his curse died while in office or had been ā€œforced out of his post as the result of a heart or blood ailment.ā€ Corwin himself died of a heart attack in 1696, only about four years after the end of the trials.
Ā By the time of his death, Corwin was so despised that his family had to bury him in the cellar of their house to avoid desecration of the corpse by the public. In the early 1980s Carlson Realty bought the House with the intention of turning it into their headquarters. After moving in, a realtor by the name of Dale Lewinski began the task of taking photographs of the staff members to add to a welcome display.
Ā Lewinski used a Polaroid camera to snap the head-and-shoulders, passport-style pictures. It was the photograph of a colleague by the name of Lorraine St. Peter that caused a stir. The Polaroid was developed and, instead of showing St. Peter, it appeared to depict a frightening image: a strange, black-haired, feminine figure. St. Peter was nowhere to be seen on the snap. The photograph has, apparently, not been cropped at all. St. Peter has been entirely replaced by the apparition.Ā

 men fabricated the idea that they are the default sex to compensate for their
 biological inferiority and general superfluousness
 this is not just the natural order this is the language of a patriarchal culture
 rhysiare
 Omg no, you are wrong on so many levels and as a linguist this makes me
 ache something terrible. In my linguistics dass in undergrad, we actually made
 fun of people who think like you along these lines and for good reason,
 because you are wholly ignorant and are choosing to spin narratives about
 things and fields which you know completely nothing about yet pretend you do.
 1 She: This word evolved naturally from Old English from seo/heo which
 were just words to refer to feminine-female people evolving from Proto-
 Germanic words meaning that/there. He as a word evolved from the
 same ideas but Proto-Germanic words for thishere, Your idea of
 patriarchal language further falls apart when you compare this part of
 English to other Germanic languages, of which English is related, the
 words in German for he and she are 'er and sie", completely unrelated
 So it is by clear happenstance, not some patriarchal conspiracy that the
 words he and "she in English have similar form.
 2. Woman: Oh god this one always gets my goat when people go for this
 one. Man did not used to mean "male", man used to
 mean humanity/human being, the old words in Old English for male
 adult person and female adult person were werman and wifman
 respectively, we can see this relation in words like werewolf and wife as
 being the remnants of the base "wer- and the base wif-. Woman
 evolved phonologically from the word wifman by natural processes
 where the 'f sound dropped and the became lax. Man dropped
 its wer stem for reasons mostly unknown but I can guarantee have
 nothing to do with patriarchy because phonological change has no
 basis in that.
 3. Female: Male and Female actually come etymologically from two
 completely different words. Male comes from Old French masle which
 meant masculine, while Female came from Old French as well femella
 which meant young woman. This is another case, just like he and she
 where the words coincidentally ended up looking similar without having
 any direct correlation in historical linguistic processes to make them as
 such
 4 Hman: This word etymologically derives from Proto-Indo-
 European "ghomon which means earthly being as opposed to heavenly
 being which would refer to gods. You have some small glimmer of hope
 here in that the word does eventually branch off into the word for man
 in some languages but this is still too small of a precedent to base any
 conspiratorial thinking like you are doing off of
 5. Person: This one offends me the most, simply because I love the fuck
 out of Etruscan language and your continued ignorance just irks me at
 this point. Person derives from persona from Latin which meant the
 same meaning, which ultimately derived from phersu Etruscan
 for mask as Etruscans would often have theatre performers use masks
 to give identity to the performers. So never once did "person have any
 meaning to do with son So yes, this IS the natural order or language.
 Please never proselytise your faulty ideology and misandrist thinking within
 speaking about word origins and morphology again, as unless you actually do
 fact checking I will school the everloving hell out of you, stay in vour lane.

    Bad, Head, and Love: firesnaps
 I had someone tell me that dislike of Umbridge is usually from ingrained sexism
 toward female villains. I kind of stared in shock-I mean I love my lady villains
 I love nasty female villains. I love sneaky and clever female villains. I love female
 villains that wrap themselves up in what the patriarchy expects of them and uses
 those expectations to smash someone upside the head
 I tried to explain my hatred of Umbridge isn't that she's full of traditionally
 feminine attributes
 It's that she's lawful evil
 If you did an alignment chart, no one would represent lawful evil more thar
 Umbridge. I don't think there's ever been a character that better sums up lawful
 evil.
 And, to me, lawful evil is the most terrifying and disturbing evil there is
 To me, lawful evil is the shit that gets thousands of people killed while the person
 responsible walks away feeling like they did their duty
 Evil forces like Bellatrix and Voldemort are fairy tales. They're the bad guys a
 good guy can chase away with a sword or wand
 Umbridge is that evil that really does lurk in the hearts of men (and women). The
 realness, the plausibility of it, makes her amazingly uncomfortable
 So, yeah, I can't get as excited about her as a fantasy book creation as easily as
 some other female villains. Not because she's a woman, or because of her
 gender presentation, but because she represents a sort of evil that's far, far too
 close to home
 too-bassoon
 Voldemort is stereotypically scary, but he's a very unreal kind of scary. Umbridge
 is different. Everyone's had an umbridge
 the-cimmerians
 yes because lawful evil wraps itself in righteousness and oppresses you through
 approved systems and hierarchies that nobody is supposed to question

    Books, Girls, and Google: November 25 ( 18701
 Have come across such a glorious book
 called 'Boys Play Book of Science. Am going to
 read it through and see if whether ain't some
 experiments Bess and I can try. Won't it be jolly if
 we really can? But it takes money money money
 even for the privilege of blowing one's self up. . .

 When I got home I found that Netty had
 thrown away our tongue and eyes, and worst of
 all woe woe is me that our skeleton that had
 taken us 3 mortal hours to şet, had fallen out of
 the window and smashed. Oh Science! Why will
 thou not protect thy votaries? [worshippers
 In the afternoon lolled around learnt Greek
 and sewed everlasting slippers. Bess said when she
 told her father about our getting the mouse he
 looked grave and said, Bessie Bessie thee is losing
 all thy feminine traits. I'm afraid I haven't got any
 to lose for I greatly prefer cutting up mice to
 sewing.

this is from a real diary by a 13-year-old girl in 1870. teenage girls are awesome and theyā€™ve always been that way.

Read this - oh my goodness, this girl was wonderful.

Where can I read this in full?


Itā€™s fromĀ 

Real American Girls Tell Their Own Stories, and that particular section is byĀ Martha Carey Thomas who grew up to be a suffragist, linguist and renowned educator, as well as a badass lesbian.
