I want to see empty exhibits in British museums, that contain only the story about what they once contained, and why they had to be sent home. The space would be no less profound for me www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The kahu kiwi, given to a British doctor in 1900, was "crying to come home", Māori campaigners say.

How do I tell her I’m self-funding a PhD in history because it improves my economic and life outcomes?? Also ‘allure’ is doing a lot of mysterious heavy lifting here

Request: Do you know of any oral history projects with relevance to covid-19? Context: I'm doing a mapping exercise for my new job at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social on covid commemoration. I have a pretty solid list but I know there are more out there! Please share!

Also - last week me and Scooby were attacked by two big dogs ☹️ We are both ok, she had emergency surgery and I can say now that she is recovering really well. She’s got her sassy attitude back, just some healing to do. So grateful she’s been so lucky ❤️‍🩹

After 2 weeks of being emotionally gutted by the new Phoebe Bridgers album, and a short stint back into country, the only acceptable music has been heavy metal Also inspired by the iron maiden documentary (in 2016 we saw the book of souls tour at download, fr one of the best bands I’ve seen live)

…it specifically frames this from the perspective of black communities, and how they are afforded either excellence or downfall with no in between, and how this ignores the actual work and effort of those people a very interesting way to explore these kind of questions

I listened to a great podcast today that speaks to this - Humans episode ‘the inauthenticity of authenticity’. It discusses how authenticity is in the eye of the beholder, and how different kinds of authenticity are given to different types of people…

Tbh (I’ll stop after this) it’s a confusing article that doesn’t really explain the study, and doesn’t really explain the talking therapies either. Lots going on all at once…still interesting though

000

Amy Hall @amyh4ll97.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

also (may have misunderstood sorry, hope I’m not mansplaining) I don’t think it’s a metaphor when they talk about restructuring the brain, the oxygenation demonstrates the formation of new neurons and neuro plasticity across pathways in the brain, indicating how new beliefs are formed (or not)

Amy Hall @amyh4ll97.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

This is because it’s much cheaper to treat groups vs individuals, and EMDR clinicians are expensive (e.g very few per NHS trust). Interestingly the source they reference for ‘other treatment options’ says the comparison of group CBT efficacy to individual or other therapy types is not explored

100

Amy Hall @amyh4ll97.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

I have lots of thoughts on this…to me it’s bizarre they don’t mention EMDR which is a therapy that specifically unlocks the ‘stuck’ pathways and enables people to talk. Within the NHS there is a push to move away from EMDR and towards the group therapy they mention

Same here - I moved away and managed for a few years of medical school. Very soon realised I was going to have to relocate nearly every year for the next 5 years, which was incredibly daunting and unsustainable for me, and honestly part of the reason I left

Amy Hall @amyh4ll97.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

!!!! What an amazing cohort. Completely agree the article seems like another way to bash non-Russel Groups, and to drive the agenda of reduced value/funding in higher education…infuriating and so disrespectful to all the staff and students involved

030

Amy Hall @amyh4ll97.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Also to say the idea of constantly moving around and relocating as a feasible and affordable option is very much a middle/upper class perspective. For working class people the costs of moving alone can be totally unrealistic
