Once again making the mistake of reading blog posts about the regency as quick writing research and feeling very that one friend that's too woke about it. 'near destitution' I'll kill you

Not having at least a girl to help around the house is the Regency equivalent of near-destitution. In fact, only Mrs Smith, as a โ€œpoor, infirm, helpless widowโ€ in Persuasion, is โ€œunable to afford herself the comfort of a servant,โ€ which shows the extent of her desperation.ALT

In the early 19th century you were poor as fuckkkkk if you didn't even have ONE domestic servant! unrelated but isn't this replica of the cabins where many irish labourers contemporaneous to jane austen lived so cool

A one room hut with no windows, built out of mud.ALT

#this is ignoring the fact that the servants were also people and would have been a lot poorer... ๐Ÿ˜’ #<- prev this literally drives me crazy........ ''everyone had servants'' and the servants โ“ the people who were the servants โ“ #it's like when people talk about how Sparta treated women well when the majority of women in sparta were helots. they just don't see #lower class people as real people. with their own internality & lives. like it just straight up doesn't occur to themALT

in more pleasant news: this year is seeing the biggest humpback migration in Australian history, bigger than it was PRE whaling. That's right, there are more humpbacks migrating off the coast of Australia than there were BEFORE industrial whaling started.

A huge, fat W for environmentalists and Greenies. what an achievement
