Stoneware bombs found in the wreck of a Mongol ship off of Takashima Island, Japan. The ship was part of the Mongols' 1274 expedition to conquer Japan; much of Kublai Khan's fleet was sunk by a storm. It was discovered, remarkably intact, in 2011.

I found these pictures of women of colour in the 1920s and they made me happy because you see them so rarely in the modern romanticization of this era x

It makes me so, so angry when I see those posts that are like "HORRIFYING EARLY PLASTIC SURGERY RESULTS FROM WW2," because all of those lists are full of images that aren't the final result and are used for pure shock value. Harold Gillies, who performed most of those surgeries, was an incredibly talented surgeon. Here are some images of the full results of his surgeries.

I need to emphasize that I can't post the "before" pictures that go with these because the men did not have faces. The injuries were so extensive that these men were missing nearly all of their facial features, and through cutting-edge techniques that "looked scary" at the time (e.g. extensive skin grafts), Gillies saved these men from a medical nightmare.

Gillies performed the world's first ftm bottom surgery for trans man Michael Dillon and pioneered mtf bottom surgery! Respect his legacy.
