Anemoia is the bittersweet emotion of yearning for a past you never lived, yet somehow feel emotionally connected to.
Ever felt that way?

Prepping for tomorrow's classes, just wanted a quick warm-up chat with students about that hypey Cloud Dancer Pantone shade...but, oops - I time-traveled to 1821. (Pantone wasn't always a thing🙃 )

I miss my morning walks. It’s still so dark outside in the mornings now that it almost feels unsafe to go out...

at the end of the nineteenth century, two children died in one family. doctors didn’t think much of it since such cases were not unusual back then, but when a third child died a couple days later, they got worried.
still, they couldn’t find the reason. the kids' room seemed normal: beds, chairs, and green patterned wallpaper. nothing to suspect, until the secret came out.
the designer of the wallpaper admitted that the bright green color came from arsenic, in a concentration strong enough to kill a whole family.
children spent way more time in the room than adults, so it got to them first.
why couldn’t doctors diagnose arsenic poisoning right away? because the symptoms are so random – anything from headaches to stomach pain. and when someone complained to the doctor, they were told to just stay home, surrounded by those same toxic wallpapers.
