We interrupt our Pride & Prejudice Advent Calendar #BTPPAdventCalendar coverage to remind you that if you like these threads, and Regency fashion, you might like the books over at @austendress.bsky.social. They taught us everything we know. There's a third one coming next year!

We worked it out. Scuse any ensuing spamming as we transfer over.
Do we know how to transfer all the tweets from the Ex-Bird Cage and give them life here? Sorta kinda maybe.
Are we working on it? Time will tell.
But at least we finally can back into the old account which wasn't happening for quite some time because the codes got lost.

We have been quiet.
We have had *a year*.
But! We have also written another book full of Regency goodness, another prop for an already very high horse from which to look loftily upon screen productions and Test them. Or something.
Have a good one, costuming compadres!

OMG! Can you imagine if expert historians, like, took to Twitter to present their knowledge in alternative forms that were also fun and engaging and tapped into things people already enjoy??? Madness!!

We had nothing to do with this, honest:
'There’s not even an attempt to be accurate here – [the] costumes only look like Regency dress if you’d somehow been led to believe that the pages of this month’s Tatler magazine had been shot out of a time machine.

People are allowed to critique Bridgerton. If you like something, it doesn't mean no one can have conversations about it. Having people of colour in it (yay!) doesn't mean it's uncritiqueable either. ALL cultural productions are up for discussion. It's part of what makes culture

Have we already mentioned we do have nascent plans for a second account in this vein, looking at a different period, when and if we can be bothered?
We've probably said it once before but it bears repeating now *aaah ah ah ah aaa-aah*

Retweeting that last Holm Napoleon has reminded us we haven't tested his second (and obviously best) portrayal of the emperor: Time Bandits.
