I don’t know if it’s just me but up until the sixth episode or so I thought Margaret Beaufort was just some crazy religious nuts... and then I started to kind of agree with her? ‘Till this day, I can’t tell if it is because she got better or everyone else got worse.
@squeegeeyourthirdeye yes, in my tags I said I didn't think there wasn't any white people with bushy hair, only that I haven't met any. There are poc with green and blue eyes and blond hair, after all, there's no reason why the opposite couldn't also happen. It's just that that type of hair is a predominantly poc trait and there's no reason why they couldn't have cast a poc actress to play Hermione. Even more so after seeing how they completely gave up on having Hermione have her trademark hair after Chamber of Secrets. It's probably too much work to give Emma's hair a look that comes natural for poc women.

Did you guys know that when Brazil became a Republic in 1889, it was only supposed to be provisional? That it had to be decided by popular vote whether we wanted to remain a Republic or not?
Well, we did. IN 1993. 104 YEARS OF PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR.
Brazil in a nutshell, honestly.
Some advice for dressmakers:
1. Pockets are a thing. 2. Breasts are a thing.
Leave room in your design for both.
For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!
New thing: "this ship was wreck" or just "shipwreck" to describe not only when a show ruines your OTP, but also the period of uncertainty that plagued England after both the sinking of the White Ship and the death of Henry I, known as The Anarchy.
