As someone who has consulted your thesis and is now writing about the interwar period I hope it will not be squished!

What you're saying when you say "DEI" when universities say "EDI" (as happens here) and vice versa. And why it actually matters. The great majority of UK (esp. British) universities use "EDI" while US universities use "DEI". Is that "just" semantic, or does it matter? A thread. 🧵1/8

In the last pod you speculated what football team Count Binface might support. As any fule no, he will support a Recyclons team from planet Sigma IX where he is from, but his alter ego Jonathan Harvey is a Spurs supporter. Does this explain anything about anything?

Right, my last Friday Murder of the academic year drops today. And it's about baby farming. You can read the whole thing if you want to know more, but I'm going to tell you the story of one woman on here, who unwittingly paid a couple to kill her daughter. Her name was Alice Rodenhurst.

Although the 1832 Reform Act marked an extension of the franchise in the UK, it also prevented women from voting in parliamentary elections. However, Dr Philip Salmon has explored how some women could vote long before they secured equal electoral rights with men.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

SUFFRAGE OBJECT: A PALMIST’S BUSINESS CARD: WHO WAS ‘LA YENDA’?
This card was given to Kate Frye at the Women's Freedom League 'Green, White and Gold Fair', held in Caxton Hall, London, in April 1909. She then preserved it within the pages of her fabulous diary (now held by by Royal Holloway College Archives) . At this time Kate was a member of the constitutional London Society for Women's Suffrage but was happy to offer her varied services to other societies - such as the WFL.

I wondered if the Law Society was affected by the General Strike, and found minutes of their Councll meeting on 7 May 1926, 100 years ago today! They refer to the 'National Emergency', students serving in a public capacity (volunteering), suspension of classes, and early closure of the Hall. 🗃️
