Weird gender assumptions
@nighteyes I assume your father's audio is a mystery novel
Weird gender assumptions
@nighteyes a lot of modern readers assume she was also saying he was genderqueer or gay and that might have been her intent (she certainly knew some LGBTQ people) but Dear Aunt Jane was from an educator background and a lot of her letters and books liked to make fun of those divides
Weird gender assumptions
@nighteyes that used to be a culturally thing which included different hand writing classes for women and men. Jane Austen made fun of the idea in Emma when one of the male romantic leads is noted to have as penmanship "flowing feminine hand" and all the women find that sexy
@FlatFootFox yeah that makes a lot of sense. I likely know what I want and I just need to force my hand
Okay.... Green Tea, I feel like green tea on a day where it will be 17.2 Centigrade (63 Fahrenheit)
@FlatFootFox okay! thanks I think I have it. Sorry about that, as you know I am a numpty
@FlatFootFox Yeah it seems useful to do just to clean the books out as it were. I have some hesitation, but I think it will be for the best.
@FlatFootFox Ah! that seems useful! thanks
