Rehabilitating a Gujarati Red Sea and Gulf of Aden chart Join John P Cooper and Kumail Rajani as they explore a 19th-century Gujarati chart of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden from the Society’s Collections.

Sorry to have to share this but this evidence that the leader of the free world has gone insane is apparently not newsworthy to the BBC, the Times etc

See you there

Well, that is a welcome return.

Early afternoon listening!

If the ribbons cover the gaps, I doubt anyone will notice. Pic for rough guide. Shattered bells optional!

If this is for Pebworth, large bells on the top, smaller on the two rows bellow (until they start getting replaced and it goes a bit jazz). Out pads are usually solid leather pad, with the ribbons stitched in. Will try to pop a picture to you later for ribbon order. Ribbons from the squire.

Ready for my copy to appear in the near future

No notes! *chef's kiss*

This coming weekend we will be dancing out twice at The Fleece Inn l, Bretforton. Saturday (11th) as part of the Apple and Ale Festival at about 1.30. On Sunday we welcome Adlington Morris Men for the traditional end to their annual tour. Dancing from noon, along with Bell D'Vain

And the band is...? My guess is The Wombles, but I may be wrong!

Today is a day for listening to They Might Be Giants. @tmbg.bsky.social

We all know why Nigel Farage is accusing Labour of inciting violence against him while cutting his security. Because if he didn’t, people might remember to ask him who paid for his house in Clacton and why he hangs around with people who take bribes from Russians.

Breakfast hours ago. Music is veering between Jethro Tull and The Shamen

Go on, rub it in...

Have already been here over and hour and it already feels like it is going to be one of those days! The joys of setting up a new degree programme...

A good return to practice last night, and good to see some new faces. If you missed last night, not to worry, we will be back in barn again next week.

A great weekend away in Wells with Cam Valley Morris Men. A few days to let the legs recover. Practice returns on Friday 26th.

Donald Trump announces that paracetamol can be very effective for treating outbreaks of people discussing the Epstein files.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Someone needs to put a new light-bulb in Melania.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

English Roundabouts   They’re making the roundabouts great again by painting the flag of St George to keep our circular road systems safe from the dark, satanic hordes. What do they want? Patriotic junctions! When do they want them? Before it’s too late. Good old-fashioned English roundabouts, as decreed by Alfred the Great. Behold the sacred intersection, this blessed plot, this septic isle. English roundabouts for English people, draped in red and white and bile. St George is cross, as well he may be – whipped-up hate, he’s seen before. Give way to the right, the road signs rage, and the far right most of all. Brian Bilston

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

See you at The Fleece

I presented recently @ RGS-IBG conference with colleagues @riadunkley.bsky.social & Prof Jaime Toney about ‘slow civic geographies’ and years of effort spent supporting change. I deeply value my non-academic partners — present today in safe space — as a key motivation.

A trip to take Morgy to University of York open day meant a chance to go to the Viking North exhibition at Yorkshire Museum. Worth it for the York Hoard and York Helmet alone
