History and hiking

[Dr Michelle Cale @PurplePousette]

@HistoryWM Why? The website doesn't give any information. Is it a funding cut? How much does it cost to leave a static website available as a legacy?

Making progress on my follow-up article to this one in @MidlandHistory - when a supposedly charitable bank failed, how did the community respond? #Birmingham #Philanthropy

When a bank fails, poor depositors suffer. Do those responsible take responsibility? A Victorian example. #bankrun https://t.co/gG54RkfC8R

The Economist is excited about the state of the US economy.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

America’s economy has had an extraordinary run. Will politics bring it back to Earth? https://t.co/p1bl1H5JuQ

I just got tagged as a spam account. Ooh, one tweet made in 14 months. I'm crushing it, obviously. Or could it be the @KamalaHarris likes? Hmm.

My new article about the #Birmingham Penny Bank failure has just been published. Thanks to @TheIronRoom for offering an amazing research environment. #history #banks #philanthropy https://t.co/9TWlWLZTyG

@AlghraniT Yes, I was able to go down and take a look. Gloomy, with bars on the door, if I remember correctly. The person who showed it to me said Mary Carpenter NEVER put a girl there. Uh huh.

[Dr Michelle Cale @PurplePousette]

@AlghraniT Congratulations on your new book! A friend pointed it out to me.

[Dr Michelle Cale @PurplePousette]

@AlghraniT I am always glad when someone finds the thesis. Makes the work worthwhile. My supervisor was Roger Hood.

@mychal3ts @SolanoLibrary I follow you mainly on IG. Most wholesome account ever. This is how the internet should be, filled with joy. You are an upstanding human being. Good luck!

@SeismicSisters @MoiraDonegan So glad to discover you today, @SeismicSisters. Nice website. Are you going into print too, or staying online?

[Dr Michelle Cale @PurplePousette]

@MoiraDonegan I wish you'd mentioned that @MsMagazine is still here though! Fifty years old and still giving us feminist stories.

@ericbahn We felt a single jolt in Palo Alto.

@SoVeryBritish Walking on Primrose Hill some years ago, two small Yorkies being called by their owner: “Moët! Chandon!”

@Flyingarchivist @CAPittard @61harpy I used to work at the Historical Manuscripts Commission. One of the things we did was create box lists for private owners/ small repositories. We could get through a room full of paper in a day! Which provided a starting point. Cataloging properly is a slow expensive task.

[Dr Michelle Cale @PurplePousette]

@CAPittard Many record repositories have uncatalogued archive collections. They might have a high level box list, but not at item level. So things can still be discovered. They can also be re-identified if a researcher can provide more information.

@petfoodexpress Purchased this morning, lasted five minutes before its arm became a mass of dangerous thread. For a toy costing $23 and rated durability 9, this is rubbish. Why stock stuff like this?
