Thank you for sharing!

The Candy House, the follow-up to A Visit from the Goon Squad, is also excellent.

Hope you enjoy the re-reading experience! Among other things I was struck by how comparatively late Gilbert Blythe first appears.

Yes! Recently re-read the book and that comes through there, too (along with how she suppresses her emotions). Assuming it's the Megan Followes adaptation you're watching. Colleen Dewhurst's eyerolls with nearly every line also add so much to the delivery!

Yes - I largely took modern history classes (and a combined degree with English Lit) but I knew Marcus a bit and got to know Michael later on.

He had a great sense of humour and I think of his leadership style often.

Sad to learn of the death of Professor Michael Mullett.

He didn’t teach me until MA level but he was kind and supportive. Very fond memories of working with him in those years in The County College when he was Vice Principal and then Principal.

I'm GenX. We grew up in an all-print world. We read really fast. So, my Millennial and GenZ peeps, I beg you for the love of Bananarama, please just send me the article and not the TikTok of the dude talking about the article. In Prince's funky name, amen.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Proofs! I’ve been working on this material for years. I’m thrilled that it’s seeing the light of day in Journal of Contemporary History. It asks what ordinary Germans made of the democratization imposed on them by the Allies, analyzing the paradox that democratization is fundamentally undemocratic.

The 1921 census required every household to identify a 'head' - assumed to be a husband - but it offered no way to record same-sex relationships. So how did women and gender non- conforming people record their lives? Often subversively, as some examples show 🧵 (1/6)

Rest in peace, Catherine O'Hara. It felt like she still had so much more to give.

Just heard this news, and I feel exactly the same.

The #Marriage Bar. A social construct that only became illegal with the equalities legislation of 1975.

Female staff depended on who they worked for - often which matron - on whether they were fired once wed

As the world burns, let's get one thing straight. A video podcast is just a TV show.
