"You are endeavouring to disarm me by reason and to convince me against my will."

Willoughby to Elinor. #SenseAndSensibility #JaneAusten

It's Labor Day weekend and I am curled up in bed with some #whisky and Sense and Sensibility. Yesterday's commute home was long and stupid so I'm not leaving the house until Tuesday. It's going to be a fantastic weekend.

Who's in Chicago this fall? I'll be there in early November and I'm looking to meet with researchers or groups interested in remote/hybrid collaboration and/or how fiction can inform design. Please boost! #HCI #CSCW #JaneAusten (no really)

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 16: The game I'd most certainly want to own is #StorybrewerRoleplaying's #GoodSociety. I've never played it, but from what I've read, it's right up my lane. And #JaneAusten! Come on... A 2024 purchase goal perhaps? #ttrpg #rpg #jdr #RPGaDay

Maureen O'Sullivan in a stunning portrait, published in the September 1940 issue of Motion Picture Magazine.

Original caption: "Having done her bit in Pride and Prejudice, Maureen has joined hubby Johnny Farrow, who is doing his bit for His Majesty's Navy, somewhere in Canada"

Die Musgrove Mädchen sind so nervtötend.

Durch mit #NorthangerAbbey von #JaneAusten . Die Handlung hat mich jetzt nicht so umgehauen, aber die Erzählstimme des Romans hat mir immer wieder Freude bereitet. Man möchte glatt sofort die Autorin persönlich treffen, mit der Gewissheit, von ihr garantiert für jede kleine Unzulänglichkeit durch den Kakao gezogen zu werden.

Meine liebste Stolz und Vorurteil-Adaption läuft ab morgen auf ARTE. 🙌🥰

Die BBC-MiniSerie von 1995 mitColin Firth und Jennifer Ehle. 🫶
Es dürfte die für den dt. Markt leicht gekürzte Version sein.
Sendezeiten im 2. Bild, sicherlich auch dann in der Mediathek (?).

My wife and I agree that it's time for another iteration of Pride and Prejudice by #JaneAusten and #EmmaThompson should direct it. She would play Lady Catherine, Idras Elba could be Darcy, and Dawn French as Mrs. Bennet and Lenny Henry as Mr. Bennet. Thoughts? Does anyone know Emma?

Hey all here and #JaneAusten scholars particularly:

A while ago I read an article that suggested Marianne Dashwood’s illness was related to a possible miscarriage or abortion, but I can’t find it—maybe by Rachel Feder?

Help?

Finished my regular rereading of Pride and Prejudice. One of the things that strikes me is how often Austen simply describes a scene or conversation rather than give it to us in actual dialogue or detail. She also will simply describe a person's personality - breaking that 'show don't tell' rule. All this is to say that if you are good, the rules are different. The trouble is that there are very few writers as good as she is.

Each summer for the past few years, I've gone back to some comfort reading/listening where I can kind of just shut off my brain and go with the narratives. I usually do Pride and Prejudice, and maybe add some Aubrey/Maturin and maybe some Sharpe. I'm thinking about doing a Jeeves and Wooster run, and/or Agatha Christie, too.

Which should I start with?

Looking forward to getting to these old faves!

The birdsite is a failed state 🦤

I run a (multiple)🤖 bot site on the 🦤site, https://twitter.com/pureausten 🔒at the moment. It’s frequented by the top #JaneAusten audience on 🦤.

I ran foul of the API changes a couple of days ago. I use the free service and it’s been throttled to 50 calls/Hr and 1500/month. A far cry from the 15 minute interval I ran from ‘17 to early ‘23 totalling 180K+ tweets. It’s not my code or hardware that’s the problem. It’s the random decisions to impose API changes and authentication.

So it’s 2FA, automated joint accounts, grovelling to the stretched call staff, while avoiding paying 🐀$USD8 / month 🤣

In the meantime the 🦣 service at @pureausten hasn’t skipped a beat.

My dad has opinions about Jane Austen. Notice which of her novels is missing.
