Excellent weekend including a visit to Round Chimney's Farm near Howell for their Lambing Event and Woolly Workshops hosted by Millie at The Slipped Stitch. The farm's café is excellent as is their home-bred Aberdeen Angus beef. #Farm #ShopLocal

...axing anonymous marking, which was instituted with the best of intentions. Lecturers know their students & learn their capabilities over time, but sticking to anonymous marking lays the whole system open to abuse.

I met someone last year who was a developer on Chat GPT. He explained to me, using an essay question I had devised for undergrads, how to manipulate the programme to best effect. I was enthralled & horrified in equal measure. "You won't be able to tell," he said. And that was true. Except by...

Thank you @georgewalkley.com for this, but surely it's not just novelists who should be concerned. Writers in all disciplines will almost certainly be impacted by AI, if not now then in the future. I am a writer of History non-fiction and pretty sure I'm not alone in being concerned.

I seem to have acquired almost 50 new followers this week. Welcome everyone. I'll give you a book recommendation for the weekend. It's Tim Bouverie's Allies at War & it's won a place as one of my top 5 books of 2025. As stunning an account of the diplomatic history of #WW2 as you could ask for.

Living with trauma, whatever form it takes,is a daily battle for many. The work of this Charity offers empathy and hope to those who may be in crisis. Their website is one of the best I've seen on this important matter, offering advice not only to the traumatised, but those friends who wish to help.

The seminal book on this, if anyone is interested, is The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. I await the programme with interest.

Maureen Wright @drmaureenwright.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Only having an MA, rather than a PhD in trauma-theology, my take is this. It's long been established there are direct links between the condition of a person's body & their psychological state. Add in the amount of drugs the Fūrher took, & well, it's a recipe for psychosis on an unprecedented scale

Is it time for a second edition of Cultural Dementia? Even more timely than when you wrote it. If you haven't, give Laurence Rees's The Nazi Mind (2025) a read. In the running for my book of the year.
