Under DeSantis’s new laws, Floridians may never learn there was once a Black Superintendent of Schools in Florida who was so forceful in his advocacy for civil and educational rights, that he had to sleep armed in his attic to ward off attacks from the KKK. Meet Jonathan Gibbs.

Did you think I had forgotten one of the most notable Black figures of the Middle Ages?
Introducing a colorway inspired by the most famous Theban Legionnaire, St Maurice. This rich green has blue undertones for depth. You can get it in any existing base. #RepublicOfYarnia

This is awesome! And located in Summit, IL -- a south suburb of #Chicago. Can't wait to see it in person.

@TigerRabbitRun @AjaSaysHello One thing I buy which has some plastics is sock yarn. I usually get 75 percent wool 25 percent acrylic. The acrylic helps bind the fibres and means the socks last way longer. Maybe one day I’ll find a fully natural fibre sock yarn that can survive the constant use and washing.

This International Women’s Day, let’s remember that most of the people who make your clothes - from Shein to haute couture - are women, and their work should be valued and respected.

@dieworkwear I was wondering if you knew anywhere you could buy cashmere yarn itself ethically? Just because if I wanted a cashmere sweater, I’d probably make it myself.

@JLyons1991 This looks really interesting thank you

@iammylogregory I think for me it would be Madeleine Zabriskie Doty, an American journalist who toured Europe in 1916 as a pacifist speaking with and meeting with women on both sides who wanted peace. She did many other things, but reading her journey through Europe was particularly fascinating.

I was proud to oversee the creation of the National Windrush Monument as it was a way of acknowledging some of the wrongs but the government going back on the #Windrush Scandal recommendations is cruel and has created even more pain and hurt @RishiSunak

Historians of empire: I’m looking for research on the importance of paperwork to colonial rule & administration, e.g. the British in India. Any suggestions?

@cath_fletcher During my A-Levels I wrote an essay about the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations in the 50s and 60s. 3 years later I was able to use all of that research and work I had saved to help me complete a piece of coursework. I learned a valuable lesson- keep everything no matter what.

Talking with someone yesterday I realised how few people really understand the repatriation debate in UK museums and the sheer scale of the problem. So I’m going to try and lay it out. 1/
