Funny how some of the big voices around climate catastrophe and planet extinction seem to have very little to say about another unfolding catastrophe & national extinction. Again leading to the conclusion that there's alarm only if the West is threatened in any way.

Hello Twitter mind (x mind? Urgh) I’m looking for examples of public facing projects related to the health/ medical humanities with at least one historian involved. For public history teaching. Bonus points for creative outputs. Things like the fab sensing spaces of healthcare

Every day of the last six months, the nights have gotten longer. This is because the crows are nibbling away at the sun. At sunset today, it will be so small that a crow will swallow it whole and there will never be a day again.

Please spend today with the ones you love.

If you’re in the UK: please write to your MP
If you’re international: please write to the VC of Bristol Uni Evelyn Welch asking her to ask the uni to intervene (so far to my knowledge she has not replied to staff emails about this)

We're horrified to hear that our brilliant, dedicated colleague Dr Doseline Kiguru has been denied a UK visa for her six-year-old daughter. Doseline's a fantastic teacher - many of our followers will have benefitted from her guidance. Please spread the word 🙏

I’m trying to write and my writing nook is perfection itself but also LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING OUTSIDE?

@HannahLC88 Haha these are the best/ worst. Waterton also liked to sleep on a plank of wood, and hide in trees and scare guests. The guy knew how to have a good time

@willpooley Can I also be added to the waiting list? Cheers Will 🙏🏻
