I have love of his Lady Jane Grey at the National Gallery - it's so massive and the details are so sumptuous. It's this perfect encapsulation of a very sentimental view of the past

Very excited for the upcoming Great Expectations Conference! Should be a really thought provoking day on how to support historic religious buildings and communities that care for them

Have this on pre-order - and via bookshop.org so able to support my local too !!

Finally getting to see the Hogback and historic stonework in person at Heysham, St Peter's nearly five years on from first studying them at uni!

Congrats! Very exciting

Getting to spend the last week in Hereford for work and exploring gorgeous medieval churches was such a treat (part 1 Hereford cathedral)

The funny thing about the Superman freakout is that Kal-El isn't "just" an undocumented immigrant. He is a refugee who fled a planet that was literally dying.

His creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, were first generation Jews whose parents had fled persecution in Eastern Europe.

Bayeux Tapestry to return to England after 900 years in landmark loan deal - Museums Association Artefact to go on display at the British Museum in exchange for Sutton Hoo treasures and Lewis chessmen

Andrea Dworkin pointed out the irony of being told men are women's natural protectors, when they are the biggest danger. Whether women are put on a pedestal or a pyre, it's the same old patriarchy. Men & women are not different species, men are not naturally superior to women.

Pope Francis used his final public appearance, less than 24 hours before his death, to call for a ceasefire in Gaza ⬇️

Managed to drop into Eynsford castle last weekend- which was last occupied in the 13th century and still has a noman enclosure castle layout . Its tucked away down a tiny side road off the main village but well worth the visit!

Let me save you any angst: *everyone* choosing to work on a Harry Potter-based project has decided - or has management that has decided on their behalf - that the risk of angering trans people and our allies is worth the money they're getting in return. That's it.

I don't read much historical romance but I picked this up out of curiosity and mostly because of this cover!!! Especially in the age of cartoon and AI covers - it's so delightfully whimsical

The amount of greek tragedy on the west end atm is bad for my wallet. But if anyone out there is taking requests - Agamemnon or Antigone please #elektra #oedipus
