My face hurt, I have been giggling so much!

So very interesting.

Originally built for one of Henry VIII’s statesmen, Sutton House has been used for a variety of purposes over the years, becoming a school in the 17th century. During this time, it’s thought that paper shapes cut out by schoolgirls slipped through gaps in the floorboards, remaining undiscovered until now. 

The paper-cuttings will be on display at Sutton House from Friday 19 July until December. 

Making the discovery 

During renovation works in the late 1980s, hundreds of items found under floorboards were carefully stored away. These finds remained uncatalogued for over 30 years until last year, when a team of volunteers began to sort through bags of centuries-old builders’ rubble, discarded textiles, paper and bones and other objects which had been lost over time.

Among the finds volunteers discovered a small number of delicate cut-out paper designs, only a few centimetres in size. Eight of these have been dated to the late seventeenth century when papercutting as a pastime in the UK was in its infancy and are extremely rare survivals. 

The discoveries include an intricate folded paper star, hand-coloured cut-outs of a fox, and a female figure bathing, and a hen with added green and pink silk embellishment, along with black and white cut-outs of a bird and a country couple in clothing of the period. 

This a real thing, I thought it was a joke 

At Flat Earth University, we are more than an educational institution; we are a community of forward-thinkers, skeptics, and open-minded individuals. We challenge the status quo, question widely-accepted facts, and venture where few have dared to go. Join us in our quest for knowledge, as we peel back the layers of conventional wisdom and discover the world as it truly is—flat, expansive, and infinitely intriguing.  

And then there is this little nugget 

Yeah, I could not get a job in my profession at 65 … so there is that! Then someone commented - How many of us were let go from employment because of our age? They want us to keep working, but who is going to hire us? Walmart only has so many grocery carts.

George is right!

I have been giggling since I watched trump at the National Association of Black Journalist where trump just nailed it (being an asshole, that is).

 

I even know not to do this!

Laura Loomer is a little off (putting). 

Why does someone who does this to their face feel they have the right to be nasty to other people?

Alina Habba if also a nasty piece of work with lots of work done on her face ... to bad it didn't smooth those rough edges
