You know what absolutely fucks about Austen? Being some little old ladies companion. I just can imagine me and my grandmother waltzing the countryside, chatting shit, I read to her due to her bad eye sight and play the harpsichord or something. People ask when I will marry and my grandmother beats them off with a stick because I'm Her Companion and will not leave her for some Man.

#only in an austen scenario im a woman cuz men have two roles love interest or villain (or both) and i dont have time for that shit #i gotta takencare of my grandmother #does anyone else understand this urge?#jane austen #pride and prejudice #northanger abbey #mansfield park #georgian era

Looking up some good 18th century insults to hurl at a catcaller in the Dictionary of the Vulgar tongue that isn't prick or dildo and just

"It was once fashionable. It's still fashionable, but it was also once fashionable."

Honestly this book just keeps on giving

#history is a flat circle #humans being people throughout time #The Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue #18th century slag #Georgian slang

My new conspiracy theory is that Cressida Cowper was a secret 4th (fourth) child of Lady Featherington's who was stolen at birth because how else do u explain the cunty Featherington dress sense randomly manifesting in another person out of the blue like this

#my girl was SWITCHED at ye olde birthing chamber by the midwife #cresside cowper #bridgerton #georgian baddies misplaced jn time #they shouldve been at the court (in panniers and wigs).......#baddies innthe literal sense cause cressida is a dick #ough the COLLAR/NECK BRACE thingy in the first pic.....

Every time I think that it's a pity that I live in Italy and I never write anything set in my country (I love historical fantasy and mainly write that for my fully original works)... Every time I think that and then I try to research something historical/artistical here that's not the two villas in Pompeii, the Coliseum or the Uffizi Gallery, I spend at least one hour cursing like a sailor because everything is done with the apparent purpose of kicking people away and making finding informations difficult, and close everything like this:

#personal crap #I had to draw a fucking villa in pompeii and I spent three days pointlessly looking at italian websites with no results #I was about to ask friends living in Naples if they could please go there and take some photos for me #after they kindly sent me the leaflets and map they got the last time they went there #when I found infos and photographs on an american website #which I didn't check before because you know #I'm a mothertongue italian #I may as well look up for informations in my own language no?#no.#on the other hand I had to research old Colchis for a Medea illustration #And it took me half an hour on Georgian websites because I stopped to look at recipes and local food #Everything was well organised and easy to research with plenty of photos #Tbilisi ended up high in my list of “Places I'd like to visit”

AU for the Cinderella panto: When Thomas and Kitty are supposed to hug, she instead kisses him, leaving Thomas intensely flustered and confused and questioning his feelings.

#kitmas #gorgeous georgians #thomas x kitty #kitty x thomas #bbc ghosts #mari speaks #it’s almost 11:30pm and I’m tired so forgive me if this makes no sense #i need to sleep i have class tomorrow #like in this moment he realises he doesn’t really love alison #but all of a sudden he sees that he has feelings for kitty and probably has for a long time

A tale of two Georgias

Note: I wouldn't normally share subscriber-exclusive content from this news site, but I think Shota Kincha's opinions are too important to hide away in an exclusive email this time. If you're so minded, please consider supporting open journalism in the Caucasus anyway and sending some money OCMedia's way.

Highlighting is my own. Of course I support Georgia joining the EU, but absolutely not under conditions that ignore the recent rolling back of democratic freedoms.

---

By Shota Kincha, for OC Media.

On Wednesday, Georgians celebrated a long-awaited recommendation from the European Commission for their nation’s candidacy for EU membership, leaving the country’s candidacy pending just final approval from the heads of EU member states in mid-December. But the Commission’s assessment of the government’s ‘progress’ seemed to be based on wishful thinking, rather than its actions.

On denying Georgia the status last year, the European Commission outlined 12 ‘priorities’ Georgia would need to address for the decision to be reconsidered — preconditions that largely reflected the spirit of the April 2021 agreement brokered by European Council President Charles Michel between the government and opposition groups.

When the unforeseen possibility for Georgia to formally apply for membership presented itself in early 2022, Georgia’s leadership had already failed on some of the key components of the previous year’s accord.

Instead of addressing the ‘perception of politicised justice,’ an apparent euphemism for the imprisonment of opposition leaders, most notably Nika Melia in early 2021, the Georgian court imprisoned another prominent government critic, Nika Gvaramia, only five weeks before the European Commission was due to assess Georgia’s readiness for EU membership candidacy.

Instead of the ambitious judicial reform promised in the 2021 Michel deal and mentioned in the EU’s ‘12 priorities’ last year, the ruling Georgian Dream party has continued to shield corrupt judicial officials with a stranglehold on Georgian courts, resulting in more politicised administrative fines and criminal cases against civil activists, political leaders, media managers, or youth with ‘confused orientation’ who risked their freedom to defend Georgia’s pro-Western choice on the streets.

In the run-up to the European Commission’s latest decision on Georgia, the government and security services run by oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili’s goons artificially created an anti-Western parliamentary group, gifted them private channel PosTV, and made violent extremist pro-Russian Alt Info immune to obstruction or challenge.

If the last five years under Georgian Dream rule had been a steady decline in democratic freedoms, the government’s actions in the months since it applied to join the European Union — including their recent initiatives to clamp down on Georgia’s civil society and constrain protest — far surpassed any and all negative predictions.

But listening to President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, one could have assumed she was discussing an entirely different country.

Despite Georgia’s government persecuting free media, parroting Russian propaganda against the West, refusing to undertake institutional reforms in a way that included other groups and stakeholders, and satisfying only three of the twelve conditions set last year, the European Commission complimented them with no substantial criticism.

I do not believe the EU should approve Georgian membership candidacy later this year, as the move looks set to validate and entrench the government’s precipitous lurch towards authoritarianism.

The European Commission’s approach may be based on the belief that denying Georgia candidate status could lead to Georgians becoming disillusioned with the EU and the West. But Georgians have been staunchly pro-Western for decades, perhaps even centuries.

The real danger to Georgians’ trust in the West comes from the West’s indifference to anti-democratic moves by Georgia’s government, which, if left unchecked, will continue to use state institutions to slowly but steadily shift popular mood and policies towards Russia.

Even were we to allow that recommending EU candidacy status was a justified decision in Georgia’s best interests, doing so did not obligate the institution’s leaders to legitimise the country’s government in the way they did.

Listening to the widely televised announcement by the European Commission on Wednesday, Georgians could reasonably have concluded that democratic backsliding, state capture by big capital, and a politicised judiciary are consistent with Georgia’s pro-Western aspirations, or that related warnings from local activists and media have been baseless or overblown.

The announcement could also have created the impression that the ruling party has been delivering on reforms demanded by the EU, a powerful notion less than a year before the country’s next general elections.

The truth is, however, that in inviting Georgia to join the club while neglecting to call out the government’s shortcomings, the EU is playing a dangerous game, and one it has played before. The EU does not want another Orban, and the South Caucasus definitely does not need another Aliyev.

I may be wrong: perhaps granting Georgia candidate status will still be a wise choice on the EU’s part. But even in its recommendation, the European Commission could have sent a clear message that business as usual would no longer be tolerated.

What Georgia’s leadership heard instead will become abundantly clear in the coming months.

The mighty old town in hull. Underneath the road are many tunnels that served as storage for the cargo the ships brought.

#the house on the right #with the railings #is georgian #and has one of the earliest free standing landings #it t'was a marvel at the time #people would oft marvel and go “how the fuck's it not falling down”#also of note #the families child died #and they mourned for ages #as you would tbf #not slagging em #mourn who you want innit #even if you are rich
