I stitched a thing! Kit by Paraffle, the design is simple and fun, but I am *never* using the new trendy stick-on water-soluble stuff to transfer an embroidery design to fabric again. I don't care how much easier it is, stitching through glue was Not Fun. But I like this.

I'll take 'Questions You're Going To Regret Asking' for $5000, Alex
Could someone explain to me what is meant when a British person refers to "the middle class" ? Like, in the US, as I hear it, it basically just means a person who makes a certain amount of money, not too far below and not wildly above the median. Seems like a complex concept when UK writers use it?

This is utterly disgraceful.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Of course it’s still a long trek to visit them in the wild, even in the Kingdom of Kent. This one is 20 yards off Tonbridge High Street 🥵🌲

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team.
Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.

Today involves getting an old and collapsing sofa out of an extremely small (by British housing standards) sitting room and into the front garden for collection. By me and two teenagers, one of whom will have a sore arm and a grievance about it (vaccination catch up session).

Another AUSTEN TAKE, babies! This time: why 'Mary Crawford is more fun than Fanny Price' isn't a good take.
Because Mary isn't a rebel. She's a status-quo enforcer.
How do we balance disagreeing with Austen's sexual morals without missing her point? 1/
