The Tweeter went well!

People seemed to enjoy it, and when I read it through while posting I was very satisfied (though now I'm noticing what an incredible number of quotation marks I've used). I was concerned that because I don't have a long-term research project to share findings from, my presentation wouldn't be quite up to snuff and wouldn't fit with the others, but I think it does. Going to figure out how to make it work on Tumblr tomorrow, I think they'll like it. And I did feel significantly better afterward, though that was preceded by some really intense bad feelings just before I started posting.
But then, I have kind of been long-term researching this in dribs and drabs, so. Speaking of which, GBooks finally got through my latest request, opening up the full text of the 1918 Some Aspects of the Victorian Age, which I need for my Victorianism research. (Does anyone else request public domain books that are only in snippet view/preview be opened up to full view, I wonder? I always write in the "reason for query" field in a chatty way because I suspect it's only me.)
1 #UPMTC One of the most popular images today of the Victorian woman is of her being laced by a maid as she clings to the bedpost – the perfect representation of repression. I’m exploring how this trope was deliberately used to distance “modern” mores from the past! pic.twitter.com/jGU3qdy2Iw
