I love this bandage from c.1900 featuring illustrations on how to wrap wounds resulting from accidents involving a soldier, a sailor, a miner, and a woman whose clothes have caught fire. This amazing object is part of the Wellcome Collection in London.
In 1290, Eleanor of Castile, wife of King Edward I & mother of his 14 kids, died in Nottinghamshire. The places where her body rested during the journey to its tomb in Westminster were marked by stone crosses.
One of these still stands at Geddington, Northants, & I took these pics there this p.m.
i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”
What we need is a really good elixir! 😂
Sadly I don’t - I’m East Midlands
Isn't the world bad enough?!
I checked and basically all single advance tickets regardless of time and date seem to be 57.50 atm! It’s weird
Last week, I spent £16 for a single ticket into London, and £12 for a return ticket. The train ride from my home to London is about 50 minutes long.
Tomorrow, I have to head into London and single tickets are now £58. 🫠
Here's a short of me working on Blackadder.

Badge of Honour! The Daily Telegraph HATES my book, FIVE EVIL WOMEN. They think prison works & 'bad people' should be locked up for ever. They did not like my anti-carceral feminism & belief in rehabilitation. Thrilled! @reaktionbooks.bsky.social @slamble1.bsky.social @elenaloizidou.bsky.social

Happy #TriviaTuesday!
Our object this week is from the 20th century and is 40 cm in length! Any ideas what it is?
I am ready! 😂
COVID hit and the industry fell apart. The Head of Smithsonian Channel (where it originally aired) was fired and replaced by someone who got rid of most of the history programming. I would have loved to do another season!
Liberton Kirk, Edinburgh. Not as dramatic, but definitely out there.
Omg thanks for these! I thought this was an oddity. Turns out it wasn’t!

18th century Massachusetts was very into gravestone boobs! It was one of their important theological metaphors: the two Testaments as soul-nourishing breasts for spiritual babes
It's #MementoMoriMonday, so I thought I'd share this absolutely wild gravestone of Prudence Hammond who died in 1711. It's located in Watertown, Massachusetts - and it's certainly... memorable!

An abundance of breasts!
I feel like this lady and this other woman from Wiltshire, England might have been kindred spirits.
If speedos are mandatory, then mustaches are also mandatory!
I didn't realize she had a new podcast - gonna check it out now! Do they have guests? I'd love to send you both a copy of the new book (SLEUTH-HOUND) which is out in October - all about the "real Sherlock Holmes" and Victorian forensics.
A new episode is up! Which Planet Has The Most Moons?
Daniel and Kelly revel in the amazing multiplicity of moons in our solar system and what they reveal about our cosmic history!
So much to unpack 😂
This grave is already 300+ years old - it's never gonna fade 😂
Droopy boobs forever
