Really interesting talk from @timjerrome.bsky.social just now on finding queer histories in rural records, on the subject of a lack of northern representation it might be worth checking out the @nenature.bsky.social archive - could've said this in person but wandered off before I thought of it 🤪

Edinburgh is now my closest big city nice knowin ya Leeds cya l8r Newcastle. Was going to go and see the Women in Revolt show but couldn't cope with something so heavily designed & interpreted, so went to Everlyn Nicodemus instead and really really enjoyed being sumbsumed into her vision.
Painting by Everlyn Nicodemus, 'Flickan [The Girl]', 1984. In textural whites, beiges with black lines an abstracted elderly woman is depicted in the foreground with a seemingly younger figure to the back, who seems panicked or shocked.
