That quote came from this page, which is what we meant to link to. vanessariley.com/blackpeople....

"There were over 10k-20k [Black people] that lived in London during the time of Jane Austen. The number has been estimated to be as high as 30k across England, Scotland, & Ireland. With less than 28 dukes during that time period, who were you more likely to run into, a duke, or a person of color?"

Text states: I don't know what publishing and distribution in the age of romance censorship looks like, but I do know that it is easy for an American to set up a business in NL. Research the Dutch American friendship treaty. Perhaps one could set up a home base. Also, i know nothing about publishing. What I do know is NL likes freedom of the press, money, and responsible and reasonable attitudes toward sexual behavior

Research the Dutch American Friendship Treaty

So my post about the Dreaming of You embroidery says "Part 1..."
Part 2 is in the thread itself. I don't know how to use this app yet.

Now I understand why my parents never learn new technology and have their kids set up the printer for them.

FB forced my account to follow right wing media in addition to politicians 🙄 ew

Here is how I did the hair! It is turkey stitch plus curling the thread. Curl it in the same manner in which you curl ribbon 🎀

A thread.

Why the F would people want life to return to how it was decades ago? TV show intros used to be 1.5 minutes long and unskippable!

I signed up for Pixelfed very recently and am still figuring it out pixelfed.social/tropeopera

I think we're slowly filtering elsewhere. I'm going to crosspost everything. For example, I'll post a reel on Pixelfed and IG, but in IG stories, I will link my Pixelfed "reel". Hopefully that would direct others to pixelfed.
We can always share our Bluesky post screencaps in IG stories with links

I have... so many social profiles 😭
