AvivA Verlag<p>Türchen 8 öffnet sich und wir stehen - im Jungeninternat. Nicht ganz, aber einen Teil ihrer Kindheit, über die sie schreibt, verbrachte die Autorin tatsächlich Tür an Tür mit dem englischen Elite-College in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Eton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eton</span></a>, das ihr Vater leitete. Später war sie, wie ihre Cousine Virginia Woolf, Mitglied des <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bloomsbury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bloomsbury</span></a>-Kreises und außerdem Initiatorin des Bloomsbury Memoir Clubs.

Georgiana Brummell<p>*Updated.*<br>Hello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter, but I stop short of using singular they and promoting the idea of more than two sexes, though you can certainly lean more towards one while being the other (as I do being a masculine woman), or change from one to the other via hormones, surgery etc. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.</p><p>I am happily childfree and am not religious. I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.</p><p>This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.</p><p>dandylover1.dreamwidth.org</p><p><a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=antipolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow

Georgiana Brummell<p>I'm in awe right now, but I need some advice. For several years, I've been seeking the book that Beau Brummell used to learn Latin. I know it was Introduction to the Latin Tongue for the use of Youth. There were many different editions, including The famous, but later, Eton Latin Grammar. He attended Eton from 1786 to 1794. I have a digital copy of one published in 1795, wich fits the timeframe perfectly, but it's a mess when trying to read the "full text" with NVDA (my screen reader) or to convert the pdf to text. Likewise, I have one from about 1824-5 that is a reprint of 1795, and though it's a bit clearer, it's still full of errors. The hard copy reprints I've found are all pictures of the originals, not cleanly retyped. Just now, I found an original 1824 edition, and it's in clean condition! I'm quite afraid, because I am totally blind, and in order to read it, I must hold it and turn the pages so that my software can scan it! I can either use my ArX Vision, which I wear on my head, or my Pearl Document Scanning Camera with Openbook. Either way, I would be touching a book that's 200 years old! However, no one seems to have a modern copy that is retyped. All are just pictures of old editions, and when I try to convert the pdfs to txt, or to read the pre-made html versions (all at the Internet Archive), they are full of errors! This would be fine in English, but I'm using the book to learn Latin!</p><p><a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=21230966384" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetai…</a></p><p>As a side note, here is my post in which I explain my search for a Latin tutor. I have not yet found one. If you think you can help me, please read said post before simply writing that you are a tutor. I am not using modern methods or pronunciation.</p><p><a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/76881.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/768…</a></p><p>Finally, this is the syllabus for the pre-1868 Eton College curriculum that I created after a lot of research.

Eton set to give 'brick' phones to first years
www.bbc.comEton College set to give 'brick' phones to first yearsThe world-famous school is handing out handsets that can only send and receive texts and calls.
Studenci Eton zostali zmuszeni do zamiany swoich iPhone’ów na proste telefony Nokia.
Przyszli uczniowie Eton – najsłynniejszej brytyjskiej prywatnej szkoły z internatem, której absolwentami jest wielu premierów tego kraju – zostali poinformowani, że muszą zostawić swoje iPhone’y w domu na cały rok szkolny.
Ich karty SIM zostaną przeniesione do telefonów Nokia, które są zdolne tylko do rozmów telefonicznych i SMS-ów.
W związku z rosnącymi obawami o to, że smartfony mogą odciągać uczniów od nauki, Eton wcześniej wymagało od uczniów oddawania telefonów pod koniec każdego dnia szkolnego.
CBS News donosi jednak, że tegorocznym studentom powiedziano, że ich iPhone’y muszą pozostać w domu. Co ciekawe okazało się, że nie dotyczy to Androidów, bo… „żaden student Eton nie będzie miał raczej telefonu z Androidem”.
Rodzice pierwszorocznych uczniów w Eton zostali poinformowani o zmianach w liście, w którym stwierdzono, że 13-letni uczniowie powinni zabrać swoje inteligentne urządzenia do domu po tym, jak ich karty SIM zostaną przeniesione do telefonów Nokia offline dostarczonych przez szkołę.
Polityka ta zacznie obowiązywać od początku następnego semestru, we wrześniu. Starsi uczniowie nadal podlegają poprzednim zasadom, w tym zakazowi korzystania z telefonów wieczorami.

At the end of the interview, Stewart sums up by saying "you get the sense that [#Kwarteng] is very clever". I didn't. I got the sense that he was rather stupid, rather shallow, rather trivial; but very posh.
And I think that the problem at the heart of UK parliamentary politics is that they mistake a posh accent for intelligence.
