TIL Canadian tech unicorns (companies worth $1B) are called narwhals. LOL. 🍁🦄🐋 https://t.co/yaWr5BcVED


@hannahcancode A fair bit of sewing, and a fair bit of dodgy hacking with PHP. 🙂


@georgiecel I don’t write code professionally anymore, but I did for several years. And I’ve got a Film & Theater degree. 😆


One of my fave talks from #yow16 Dr. Brian Little’s Personalities at Work. SO GOOD! Worth a watch. https://t.co/dAz9VdFlnl


GREAT HERA – Sewing project complete! Wonder Woman top drafted by me (based on @colettepat… https://t.co/zraKJfxCRk https://t.co/loCr4M1Evq


Realisation: BBC version of P&P both starts and ends with Bingley seeking Darcy’s approval. (This is so good. I ❤️ it.) https://t.co/sOjjciVlvR


@randommood Yep. I’ve seen it a dozen times, but I catch something new every time. So good.


“Shall we be quite safe here, Mr Darcy?” @the_snook and I quote that one a lot, whenever we go someplace slightly sketchy. https://t.co/krmgfW2haH


Darcy definitely has a fixed mindset as opposed to a growth mindset. Eh, @lucykbain? https://t.co/fRQKvjfxJK


No, YOU’RE live-tweeting P&P.


Mary Bennett is one of those jerks who think calling it “sportsball” is really cutting and clever.


I still can’t believe they aged up Mrs. Foster to play the Queen Mother in The Crown. https://t.co/sJgIzYRWHp


Realisation: the Bennet girls (except Jane) are wearing the same dresses at the first two parties. Shows their relative poverty? https://t.co/jQNH35YFUe


More symmetry. Eliza’s arrival on foot at Netherfield, surprising Darcy, exactly mirrors Darcy’s entrance at Pemberley later! https://t.co/Tre9VN4NRv


FOINE EYES. One of Duckface’s greatest moments! https://t.co/UqDRgbDly7


Why do Darcy’s emotional breakthroughs always happen when he’s wet? It is just how it makes Colin Firth’s hair so dreamy? https://t.co/N5cGCn6XSc


Jane Bennet – kickass wingwoman. https://t.co/e2ot9dWrRA


Mr. Collins’s part is straight-up ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. Love your work, BBC hairdresser! https://t.co/I5lrXnIcfH


Colin Firth literally spends his first hour of screen time just stalking the edges of parties and glowering. *swoon* https://t.co/mqdGTRy5wq


@lucykbain I’m cooking dinner now – might have to resume tomorrow!


“Shelves in the closet? Happy thought, indeed.” I had to run in from the kitchen for that one. Gets heavy usage from me in hotels. 🙂 https://t.co/Rn5zvOk2dx


“Go, go. I would not wish you back again.” OOOH, BURN. 🔥 https://t.co/kcp5v4sy37


Kitty’s big moment: “What a laugh if I should fall and break my head!” “I WISH YOU WOULD.” 😂 https://t.co/1yVvvnQXWB


“It’s above 18 degrees; time for the Englishman to get naked.” – @the_snook https://t.co/WWf4fR3xON


Aaaand there’s the reverse of the Netherfield scene! That’s Lizzie’s “OH FOR F*CK’S SAKE” face. https://t.co/n54z6IlIyl


@mmastertheone @the_snook 😱


IT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN. WAIT FOR IT…


THE LOOK. (Yeah, they were totally doing it.) https://t.co/Z4aUf6mGVx


Mr. Hurst is my spirit animal. https://t.co/7jFVnFT1Xg


It seriously took me like five viewings to spot Kitty peeking in from outside while Mr. Collins is shaming everyone. 😂 https://t.co/IExvcXcNZW


Seriously, Lydia, you ran off with a man in STIRRUP PANTS? https://t.co/wBgARhu5HO


And that’s it! “Dearest, loveliest Elizabeth…” *melts* https://t.co/1zqUOxjlw5


@lucykbain I was actually thinking we need to record a podcast commentary, like MST3K style. Preferably while drinking A LOT.


@lucykbain YES! More rules: Whenever Hill is seen dressed like a giant baby; Whenever Mr. Collins is a tool; When Kitty gets crapped on


@ninjaspag Yes! LOOP THE LOOP, RUDOLPH!


@ninjaspag I think of that movie every time I read or hear the word “puce.”


@KTunravels No, at least a dozen. I just didn’t notice Kitty there until the 5th time. 🙂


Christmas without kids: I got to sleep in, but I woke up to the merry sounds of a cat puking. Happy holidays, everyone!
