@tealcartoons.bsky.social my 10 year old is attempting to imitate your art style from Plague Busters. By drawing in his copy of it.

I am ridiculously tired but best wishes to all those at Leeds IMC this week. At this time of year I do miss my PhD days (years).

@jonnysims.bsky.social thoroughly enjoyed Statement Begins yesterday, had I had more time and presence of mind I would have said how much I love your novels. You write female characters so well.

Settle a disagreement for me: does a pilgrimage count if you cycle the route instead of walk?

Currently reading Pandora’s Jar by @nataliehaynes.bsky.social. By a considerable margin the funniest and snarkiest book I have ever read.

Discussing children’s tv in the 80s with my husband, he said it was all so cold and bleak. It turns out he lived in a house with no central heating for the majority of the 80s.

I suppose it’s one way to organise a library, but not super usable unless you happen to know the colour of the cover of the book you are looking for.

Continuing my exploration of Rusty Quill after finishing The Magnus Archives. I highly recommend Outliers for fellow lovers of Medieval and Early Modern historical fiction, and am currently half way through Cry Havoc, Ask Questions Later, tying in neatly with my recent Roman reading history.

@rustyquill.com having come to it very late I want to thank you for The Magnus Archives. I broke my foot in July and have been laid up unable to do much and listened to the entire TMA in 10 days when I would have otherwise been going insane with boredom. May have caused a different insanity though.

So much fun at Dorset Medieval Archery this afternoon. I really recommend it to any medievalists out there. We got to shoot a knight. Pulling arrows out of a wooden shield is quite hard and a helmet even harder 😂.

Having spent the afternoon at the Musée de Cluny I wanted to post something thoughtful about each picture, but I’m too tired so I’m going to photo-dump instead!

I can’t help wondering what the correlation is between those organising VE day celebrations this week and those who voted for Reform last week.

My son just described Trump as Joffrey, Putin as Ramsey Snow and China as the Night King and I can’t get over how good this analogy is.

Is there a singing teacher community on here? While feeling inadequate compared to those who manage to publish stuff, I do have my own work wins that no one cares about but me. From great exam results to encouraging a nervous pupil to perform in public for the first time.

Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history. We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump. For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard: WorldVsTrump.com

worldvstrump.com

World leaders: stand up to Trump, starting *now*

Donald Trump is a bully. And like any bully…we need to stand up to him. If we don’t, our international world order is in danger. He’s already threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Can

While it appears everyone else is out doing and seeing things this holiday time, I have not left the house in a week and that’s fine.
