My partner had never seen the work of genius that is the ‘tea consent’ video, so now I’m sharing it here again, because consent explained through the vehicle of tea is the most British thing ever. And also really fucking important.

For @publicdomainrev.bsky.social, I wrote about the strange history of the first flap books, which started off as propaganda during the English Civil War and became unbelievably popular among children on both sides of the Atlantic:
publicdomainreview.org
Metamorphosis: Transformations in the Early Modern Flap Book (early 19th century)
By manipulating paper flaps, the child could turn Adam into Eve into a mermaid, a lion into a griffin into an eagle — all while learning about the inevitability of death.
