#FebOutlining I do draw my characters! I work incredibly slow because of injury, but I love being able to create my own visual aids. Plus I hope to use them as refs when/if I commission professional art. (Which I hope will happen this year, I've started my piggy bank… 👀)
#FebOutlining Do you make or commission art of your characters? Use dollmakers to build their looks? Share the art here! (Please remember to use alt text, and Do Not share AI-generated art; we don't do slop in these parts.)
Thank you @enortonhistory.bsky.social for this wonderful review. 😊
I was fortunate enough to receive a review copy of Zealous: A Darker Side of the Early Quakers by @ericanela.bsky.social My comments below… #zealously #quakerism #civilwar #britishcivilwars #englishcivilwar @penandswordbooks.bsky.social
Really looking forward to this course! 😊
In this course we will explore the convincement of early Quakers during the political and social upheaval of the English Civil Wars and the execution of King Charles I. What effect did this context have on the fledgling faith and its membership? For more information visit https://ow.ly/Jjh950Y4QNY
🗓️DAY 3 - Trial of King Charles I 23rd January 1649 The House of Commons ordered that in writs, patents, commissions, indictments, process, and proceedings in Courts of Justice, the authority of the king should be replaced by that of Parliament. Not a good sign.
To Sir W. Pen’s (though much against my will, for I cannot bear him, but only to keep him from complaint to others that I do not see him) to see how he do, and find him pretty well, and ready to go abroad again.
Still time to apply! Come hang out with me in Providence to discuss all things religion 🔽

George Fox died on this day in 1691 at the age of 66. We know him as a brilliant preacher, networker, and a fan of good hats. We should also remember him for his incredible immune system because I’m honestly not sure how he survived prisons or transatlantic travel!
WHY DID THE WARS OF THE ROSES BEGIN, how did women help shape the political crises, what weapons were used, and just when did the wars even end? All questions Nicola Tallis and I cover during our week-long upcoming online course. More info below:
