If you want to learn more about Lorina Bulwer, there are multiple excellent resources: Ruth Battersby, who spoke at the event at Gressenhall, is Senior Curator of Costume and Textiles at Norfolk Museums Service, oversees several pieces of Bulwer’s embroidery, and focused her PhD dissertation on Lorina’s work. You can listen to an interview with her on Sew What Podcast Dolly Sen has written a short book about Lorina Bulwer published by Red Herring Press, and has recently received funding from Arts Council England to pursue further research into Bulwer’s embroidery through the lens of Disability Studies Dr Isabella Rosner🧵🪡 also featured Lorina as a case study in her book Stitching Freedom: Embroidery and Incarceration, published by Common Threads Press (who were also present at the Gressenhall event!)

I am unfortunately seeing similarities between the Victorian era and now.

The years and years of demonising the poor the UK government has done has given people not in benefits this sense of superiority. A lot of people will avoid claiming benefits because of the ideas of laziness attached to the systems.

Oliver Twist x Warrior Cats crossover

Well, in fact this has no sense, i just think Oliver and Tiny are a little similar. Both were frightened kids, both got involved with bad companies and took part in dangerous adventures. But Oliver eventually got a calm and happy life, and Scourge... well, obviously.

On the left side are Mr. Bumble, Dic and Oliver, on the right are Tiny, Brick and Bone.

And also I don't know how to draw people, so this is animalization.

Кроссовер Оливера Твиста с Котами-воителями.

Ну, по факту смысла нет особого, просто мне кажется, что Оливер и Крошка слегка похожи. Оба были забитыми детьми, оба связались с плохими компаниями и принимали участие в опасных авантюрах. Но Оливер в конце-концов получил спокойную и счастливую жизнь, а Бич... ну, понятно.

Слева – Мистер Бамбл, Дик и Оливерч справа – Крошка, кирпич и Костяк.
