tbh my dad is from somerset, grew up in a village a little way outside taunton, so i feel extra betrayed by the lack of folk music/dance/traditions in my life growing up lol

my mum's from london so i can excuse it of her. but my dad's a country bumpkin (affectionate). how could he let me down like this

#my mum's maternal line is all london at least to the 1890s. her paternal line is working class essex i think #so. okay. less folk there. but my dad should have brought me the west country energies and he did not #he doesn't even have a west country accent #personal

Speaking of girls being alcoholics, here's hoping Essex isn't drinking too much wine again. She gets REALLY out of it when she drinks...

"Essex? Don't be too hard on her. War is clearly a stressful business. And if she unwinds by getting a little... Silly again, then so be it. She has a good head on her shoulder when it matters the most."

witchcraft may not have been a burning offence in England, but petty treason was- and a lot of what ‘witches’ were accused of doing was often petty treason

#on the tv tropes page for bbc ghosts #anyway early modern so deffo by stuart era there's a big class dimension to witchcraft accusations #in that it's rich people fearing they're being cursed by poorer people for failing to give them alms #like there's a reason there's so much going on in essex #where there are big economic things going on #or women accused of harming thei husbands #ok saltiness over now

I have 2 questions about Dwight D Flysenhower guys

First, isn't he supposed to be a Gerald r ford class carrier? ISNT HE? I mean Gerald r ford class carriers start from 78 (which is the ensign number of Gerald). And Flysenhower carries the ensign number 81... And then we are told he is a Nimitz class carrier either way.

Oh and this isn't as big of a problem as the first, but irl CVN-81 happens to be... USS Doris Miller. I mean I've seen discussions of whether CVN-69, that is technically USS Dwight D Eisenhower who is the inspiration for Dwight D Flysenhower doesn't exist in WoC?? Something like those convos? This literally means USS Doris Miller doesn't exist.

#welllll #not surpised because kittyhawk was said to be an essex class carrier xD #WoC questions

"A water-level view of the Apollo 17 Command Module (CM-114) floating in the Pacific Ocean following splashdown and prior to recovery. The prime recovery ship, the USS TICONDEROGA, is in the background. When this picture was taken, the three-man crew of astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Ronald E. Evans and Harrison H. Schmitt, had already been picked up by helicopter and flown to the deck of the recovery ship. The spacecraft was later hoisted aboard TICONDEROGA. A United States Navy UDT swimmer stands on the flotation collar. Apollo 17 splashdown occurred at 1:24:59 p.m. (CST), about 350 nautical miles southeast of Samoa."
