space_swap. I expect to wake up to 10 billion messages all commenting on the same misspelled tag.
In the meanwhile, I've been looking at Janet Stephens's YouTube channel. She's the hairdresser-archaeologist who first figured out that Ancient Romans used needle and thread to secure their hairstyles. (Bobby pins weren't invented yet, for one.) I found the rope braiding video cool, since I had known additive (French) rope braids existed, but not how they worked, and promptly followed along with the video and made myself two symmetrical adding-from-below braids, which I then pinned up behind my head and over my forehead. (I do not own any needles blunt enough to go near my scalp, for one, and lack the extra pair of hands a woman of antiquity would've had from a slave, servant, or family member.) She has a whole bunch of recreations of ancient Roman hairstyles done with period-appropriate tools that I've been watching. They videos are really cool, even if some of them are things I wouldn't want to do for myself.
