Anne de Bretagne, botanical mss, dress history, hand embroidery, native plants, and dogs. Lots of dogs.

- In the #Andor S2E10 scene just before Sergeant Lear finds Kleya Marki, Stellen Skarsgärd repeats "Make it stop" in his native Swedish first, then in English. "I always have problems remembering lines, especially now since I had a stroke a couple of years ago, so I have them in my ear by a prompter"
- Young Luthen = *Sergeant LEAR* I mean, get outta here, that's so perfect and so deep. Now I need to watch S2 E10-12 again
- That's Runai Sculdun, Davo's wife (widow? 🤷🏻♀️) with Perrin Fertha in Andor S2E12 starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Runai_S...
- Reposted by Jenn WongThe #Andor finale is superb. Here's an aftermath Q&A: Tony Gilroy goes character by character, exploring the fate of each—& why he hesitated about the closing shot. Plus, what he considers the show's coldest moment, how Kathleen Kennedy protected them, & why he once wished the series would "die."

- Cultural Collections...cheese. Lol
- Damned if we don't like a cheese related story! A new transcription, made by Tudor re-enactors at Kentwell Hall, is now available to read online alongside the digital version of the original Tudor Pamflyt www.bajr.org/curd-your-en...
- #Skystorians This question intrigues me. AFAIK, "elders" have bitched about "youngers" since humans took stylus to clay. Generation names in traditional Chinese, Korean, & Vietnamese cultures may have been used as tweety describes (like "GenZ" or "boomers") Thoughts? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generat...

- Reposted by Jenn WongAmerican media utterly failed yesterday in explaining the sheer illegality, unconstitutional and corrupt nature of Trump’s Qatar “Air Force One” deal. Oh, and then there’s the catastrophic security risk…. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...
- Reposted by Jenn WongGood thread by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on Palantir in NHS. Read also my newsletter from yesterday which reveals head of Palantir UK in middle of UK-US trade deal talks…of which we still don’t know the details. Why not?? open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

- Look at this lovely thing - the violets a perfect touch
- Watching that scene in the Ghorman square (knowing Gilroy wrote #Andor in 2019) I was saying "This is Maidan. Srebrenica. Rabaa. Tiananmen Square. Budapest in '56." When Gilroy in an interview said "all massacres have a sound" I was nodding at the screen. So many examples, reaching back...forever?
