Did I mention the @lindoresabbey.bsky.social Distillery cats, Friar John Claw and Vesper -- cats so cool they have their own Instagram account with over 78,000 followers (friarandvesper)? Vesper is shy, but Friar John loves to drape himself all over the archaeology and tea tables!

Paper rec: Hayward, M. (2015) 'Dressed in blue: the impact of woad on English clothing, c.1350-c.1670', Costume, 49(2), pp. 168-185. doi.org/10.1179/0590... Interesting article, especially with woad being such an old, recorded, dye. #DressHistory #HistoricalTextiles

Photo taken from the article, it shows balls of woad, which is how the dyestuff would have been sold.

A suggestion on how UK universities can save money and reduce faculty burnout in one fell swoop: drop the surveillance culture of moderators, externals, etc., etc. Hire good people and trust that they will do their job.

I'm sorry but I don't think you can do "oh the Dems didn't talk about this one issue I love so that's why they lost" in *this* election, democracy was and is on the line, Trump is a horrible man who ran a horrible campaign, sometimes you have to just face the reality of the electorate being awful
