RCN Scotland 's HQ in Edinburgh has an extraordinary nursing connection! It used to be the childhood home of suffragette nurse Florence McFarlane during the 19th century. Find out more https://www.rcn.org.uk/news-and-events/Blogs/nurse-suffragette-240826. #HistNursing

Oxford historian Margaret Macmillan in today's New York Times (international edition). 'A new world order is coming. We aren't ready.' #skystorians #ClimateCrisis #economics #USA 🌏🌎🌍

Newspaper text: "Today, there are dead rats all around. New temperature records have been set and reset this summer, the earth has baked in droughts, and wildfires have raged. Debt across advanced economies is approaching historic highs. Cuts in medical and food aid, most significantly by the United States, have caused unnecessary deaths and helped the spread of dis-eases, one of which, sooner or later, could become another pandemic."

Sad about having to start another fall semester? Maybe you need to stock up on stickers to keep you going between now and December…. #skystorians #publichistory www.etsy.com/shop/littleb...

Excellent resource list. Although tailored to Edinburgh much is applicable to many Scottish cities - local libraries and archives will fill the gaps. Note: Some online resources can only be consulted at the library (e.g. BNA). 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #LocalHistory #genealogy #HouseHistory #skystorians

I dig it when artifacts like this are preserved in unexpected settings. Now featured in a traffic-calming circle, this pillar originally came from the Bellmont Cottages, rental houses built by Theo Bellmont for UT folks ~90 yrs ago. #Austin #HistoricPreservation #Photography #Skystorians
