This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

There was no such thing as the Roman salute. Say it again. Don’t let anyone manipulate you into believing you saw something you didn’t. It happened, and we need to be calling it out now before history repeats itself again.

The “language of the fan” was a clever marketing invention by Duvelleroy, a Parisian fan maker. In 1827, they published a leaflet assigning meanings to fan movements to revive fan sales after their decline post-French Revolution. The ploy worked, making Duvelleroy a hit on London’s New Bond Street.

If Regency women didn’t wear underwear, what happened when they got their periods?!

(Their regency periods… if you will).

Was it possible to be “finger-blasted” inside of a Regency carriage?
A thesis by me, putting my PhD to really good use by debunking the infamous scene of #Bridgerton
