I'm going to have #warcoffee.
I was silent today. Different thoughts visited my head. I was so disappointed by the extremely low reaction to my last public letter, where I talked about the war and culture.
Don't you need these letters? Maybe.
But I am going to continue writing them.
Why?
Oh my, it is a long war. Your fatigue may disappoint and hurt me during it (and not once).
But someone in the future may read these letters. Someone in the present may discover the truth. So, it is worth going forward.

I'm okay. Really. I just worry about Ukraine.

Second thing:
Have you heard about the closure of railway ticket offices? This will hit virtually every station. If it won't affect you now, it may do later or it may affect family members. For a perspective on the impact https://t.co/8jDsf4V8HV

Have been absent for a while, due to health-related things, but wanted to share a couple of things. First off, I've done this.

And, importantly, I've told my family as well.

@FrDidymus @CottrellStephen @Ely_Cathedral Lovely service - watched online.

[Helen Strudwick 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @hmstrudwick]

@Prof_hedgehog @stjohnscam Yes, indeed (home of Egyptology in the Cambridge colleges @christs_college and, therefore, a good thing)

[Helen Strudwick 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @hmstrudwick]

@Prof_hedgehog Everything is new at some point and, more important to remember, will not be new for long

[Helen Strudwick 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @hmstrudwick]

@AChristophilop1 @dimbouras Congratulations!

Don’t want to go over the top, but this is absolutely jaw-dropping. Someone who was in the cabinet when legislation on voter ID was agreed and went through parliament acknowledges it WAS an attempt to gerrymander the elections https://t.co/onD8iPUsJO
