@Scaramucci, the Pope’s statements on Iran do not, and cannot rise to the level of papal infallibility. Your point about the US vice president, however, is well taken.

Her suitor was not ‘in love’ with her. Obsessed, maybe. But love does not lead a person to want to kill the object of one’s affection. Let us be clear, what she died for was the right to have her own beliefs and control over her body and future.

The Skull of Saint Agnes, the Relic of a 12-Year-Old Martyr 😱

Every January 21, the Church commemorates Saint Agnes, one of the youngest saints in Christianity. She was martyred in Rome during the early Christian persecutions at just 12 years of age, after rejecting the advances of Diocletian’s nephew, who was in love with her 💔

More than 1,700 years later, her skull is preserved in the church of Sant’Agnese in Agone, the site of her martyrdom. Pilgrims from around the world come to venerate the relic 💀

@Pamisdo Agreed. The current one is horribly skewed towards imperialists and former colonisers. It is time we stopped pretending it was perfect and move towards international cooperation based on equality, redress and justice.

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

Uganda’s electoral commission has declared President Yoweri Museveni the winner of the country's January 15 elections.

But the weeks leading up to the elections were marred by violence and arrests of opposition members, plus a government-imposed Internet shutdown.

In the first year of US President Donald Trump’s second term, his administration has embraced a wide range of authoritarian tactics, policies, and actions that undermine rights protections.

Read a collection of HRW research and analysis released in 2025 to illustrate main elements of the attack:

The Iranian episode has been restored, happy day. Does that mean that the R-L commonwealth episode is on its way…?

@TheRestHistory

[Felicity @Felicity501]

@TheRestHistory Sadly Iran episode 2 is still missing … maybe it’s in draft form with the episode on the Romanian-Lithuania commonwealth.

Thanks to @TheRestHistory for your brilliant podcast. I’ve been ill and listening to the series on Joan of Arc and Iran have helped immensely.

Also listening to previous series and loved Historical Love Island. Just a bit disappointed that Dr Valverde didn’t make it on.

#G20shutdown is a demand that the patriarchy and misogyny ends. Now.

I am tired of being resilient. I am tired of living in fear. I want full equality. All I askfor now is that you leave me in peace to be me. Is that so hard?

Listening to Dr Jacob Cloete talking about his book. Such important work being done to raise the uncomfortable issues.

We can never forget the evil and horror from which we come.

Someone asked me how I dealt with the trauma that surrounds us. Perhaps in the darkness, I know that the African sun will rise on one more day.
