very sad to see that george fenton, one of the original boys from forty years on and later composer for nearly all of alan bennett’s stage + screen work, has died. a proper titan of british culture.

This is horrendous, and goes directly against promises made by Exeter’s senior management when they entered this ‘consultation period’. No wonder they are predicting a deficit in fees if this is how they treat prospective students!

I mean, I’ve done many things this year I never expected to do but ‘coxing a boat through a solar eclipse’ has got to be up there, right?

Beef is the top single cause of deforestation globally, by far. Next come oilseeds, especially soy and palm, but the vast majority of those is fed to livestock - chicken, pigs, dairy cows. We can't have our planet and eat it! We urgently need to shift diets away from animal-based foods.

you can tell I followed @oldenoughtosay.com long before I learnt to cook bc I measure garlic with heart and bravado rather than the confines of a ‘recipe’

someone has painted rocks with transphobic messages and hidden them around the park near me so now when I go on my silly little mental health walk the trees call me slurs 🥲

So I am running the London Lea Valley 50km in March and trying to raise some money for Step Forward - a youth centre in Tower Hamlets, Kiddo attends their LGBTQIA+ group and it's been such a brilliant and supportive space for them, which feels so important when trans youth are under constant attack.

I think if you asked what would be the worst thing to happen to me before my 5 and a half hour journey with four bags, the answer would be 'lift is broken and the train is on the furthest possible platform'

If any parents of kids who still believe in santa need a reason why they can't have a particular present, it's a good opportunity to intro them to the concept of workers' rights and say the elves have gone on strike against making that item. Keep santa belief AND indoctrinate them with socialism.

During the 1984/5 miners' strike, Women Against Pit Closures marked the festive season with this colliery themed Christmas card Find out more about recently catalogued WAPC archives at mrc-describe.epexio.com/records/WPC #ArchiveAdventCalendar #ChristmasCards
Photograph of a Christmas card from the mid 1980s. The card includes a black silhouette of a colliery pit head, with a group of marching figures (in red) carrying a banner that says 'Women Against Pit Closures'. The image is surrounded by holly and 'Merry Christmas' is written at the top.

How can we collaborate with young people to co-produce research? Keep these three things in mind

five years ago I made some videos about history (courtesy of @sachacoward.bsky.social), consequently spent my teenage years dicking about in very professional heritage spaces, and now I do a history degree and encourage other young people to misbehave in museums 👍
