An excellent read and now in paperback

Say you wanted to get from Woking to Edinburgh Uni with a year's worth of stuff. The bit from Waterloo to KX is a beast. so you drop your stuff off at Woking Station and pick up in Edinburgh Waverley.

S Hutchinson, English: Slave Traffic (1793). Royal Museums Greenwich, PR1979-11 This painting refers to the story of Inkle and Yarico, first published in 1711. In the story, the 'native' woman, Yarico, rescues an Englishman Mr Inkle after a shipwreck. They fall in love and live together in the woods, before a passing ship brings them to Barbados. The picture shows Inkle at the moment that he sells Yarico into slavery. She has just told him that she is pregnant with his child, in the hope that this will make him change his mind. Inkle asks the trader for more money instead. Sentimental stories like this often exposed the cruelties of slavery, and they were used in the growing art and literature of the abolition movement. It is signed by the artist and dated.

Same.

‘UK respondents dramatically overestimate how many immigrants there are and how many of them are Muslim. They overestimate what proportion of immigrants are from north Africa by a factor of 10, and from the Middle East by a factor of two, and underestimate how many are from North America.’

I’m half Danish. These forms confuse me. Not sure what they are really looking for.

well it is still a "no" from my 21-yr old

😂I hope not!

Thank you! I wonder if that’s it!

Suffrage/prison historians - what is a 'thunder stuffed pillow"? Constance Lytton mentions this a few times as something she experienced in Holloway Prison. Maybe @caitlindavies.bsky.social or @teadevotee.bsky.social know?

“Women and children first” probably helped
