Cerys was taught to THINK at infant school - is it true, is it helpful, is it important, is it necessary, is it kind - and there barely a day I don’t think about what a useful guide to life this is

On the grounds they wanted to work with their members alone, but I haven’t yet found anything as to when or why they changed their minds. Will let you know if anything turns up.

I had seen this and thought of you too! I am so struck by the exact parallels with what the WNCC is doing in the 1960s & if I was a bit further ahead I’d be writing something for the conversation in response. BTW I recently found in JB archive initial response from WI was NOT to join the campaign…

Just spotted the headline calls her ‘young’ which might be comforting for those of us over 40, but does speak to a preconception about suffragettes…

What do people do with open access article licensing in the era of AI? I usually pick CC BY NC ND but this now allows for ‘text and data mining or your works’ which I don’t want. Is this… too bad for me? Or are there alternatives I should choose?

Not wholly sure this is healthy.

Lyndsey Jenkins @teadevotee.bsky.social · 02/08/2025
Unexpected consequence of euros is that Lucy Bronze is now my internal comparator. If I think ‘I can’t be bothered to go for a run’ she pops up in my brain to say ‘I played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia’. ‘I can’t be bothered to do that bit of work’.’WHOLE TOURNAMENT. FRACTURED TIBIA.’
