'conservative feminism' says it all 🤔

Detail of the "Glasses Apostle" painting in the altarpiece of the church of Bad Wildungen, Germany. Painted by Conrad von Soest in 1403, the painting is considered to be among the oldest depictions of eyeglasses north of the Alps

Nothing to see here? Well, this is a slow moving 🧵 for #skystorians and others about #eyeglasses of the past, about how to read in the past, where to buy eyeglasses, and how to do with them in general. The hashtag is #HowToDoWithGlassesInThePast

Let's roll.

Wow, what a read.

Also, the first time I've ever heard someone talk about 'choosing' happiness without switching off immediately, never mind going back for a second read.

Farage: epic grifter

Is this the interview where Farage calls Husain 'love'?

Kids these days never get to run home to tell their mum which pal has fallen and split their head open.
Changed days indeed

Did he hear that from a taxi driver?

Fuck, have I missed The Rapture again?

#channel4 playing an absolute blinder tonight.
Hope my favourite non-uk folks can watch it @helenkennedy.bsky.social @janecaro.bsky.social @manmademoon.bsky.social

A wonderful tribute for a beautiful man.
@dieworkwear.bsky.social

This was a great listen - would love to see Harri and Oakeshott questioned further.
Their claims that Farage would currently happily debate anyone fail when @mrjamesob.bsky.social is present

Looking forward to catching up (there'll be a letter from my mum in the morning ;-))
I did manage to unexpectedly catch you later on Radio 4 - despite your fellow commentators, it was a great listen.

Out on a school night?
I don't know where you get the energy, but I'm glad some of us still have it!

To be fair, lots of proud English racists shared this image also.
Bless 'em

Ooh, shivers! Just wonderful

What's the chances they were merely reporting statements about which Charlie Kirk had made his living by shouting about?

A demonstrator at the "Unite the Kingdom" protest today:
“Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated.”
“Someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer.”
But yes, the problem is the violence by the radical left 🤷‍♂

Esp given assassination of Kirk in US i find Musk's intervention here, calling for dissolution of parliament and a new govt, really scary .

Also UK govt bodies should get the fuck off X.

Fs, this is shocking

If - as appears to be the case - the shooter is a cis male, white, hetero, Christian, rightwing, pro-gun background then I fear for the likelihood of him living long enough to see the inside of a courtroom where the path to his indoctrination to violence can be explored.

How about that.

Thought this was The Onion at first. This is for a guy who is currently tanking their sales in Europe

Bringing back the old guard from 10 years ago 🤔

Surely using the Masons as a pejorative won't go down well with reform supporters?

Aren't all other Scottish MPs from the 2024 intake?

It's a great resource, especially having a paper copy rather than just online - my subscription gets sent to my elderly mum who passes it round her pals who would never get access to such cracking articles/writers in their own newspapers

Was his spokesperson under the desk instructing him to leave when things didn't go his way, a la @mrjamesob.bsky.social ?

Ffs. Took a video of tonight's sunset for my mum, but thanks to @thetrawl.bsky.social soundtrack, I've mistakenly made some hellish tourist information film for fecking Reform.
I'm blaming @jemmaforte.bsky.social for this

I couldn't wait and treated myself to the first half hour earlier (an absolute delight, of course!).
Looking forward to finishing it later, enjoy!
