History, hot beverages and more besides.

@DrDreHistorian Ok now we’ve just entered the realm of the absurd.

@DrDreHistorian Have you checked out the big slab of iron ore in Morley with her poem inscribed into it? Might be worth checking out when you’re touring Perth’s cultural icons with your mum ;)

@DrDreHistorian Would second Fremantle, King’s Park & the Swan Valley (or Bickley Valley, if cider is your thing). Depending on the weather, City Beach/ Bould park could also be nice for a lazy afternoon. You could consider going further out of town, but I’d be inclined to start with the above.

BREAKING: More than 24-hours after the close of their non-union enterprise agreement ballot that proposed massive real wage cuts, @CurtinUni management still have not released the results. Staff have a right to know. Management must release the results immediately. @NTEUnion

@arseblog @gunnerblog I’m a terrible watcher of live sport. I was shaking uncontrollably in the 2015 FA Cup final when we were 3-0 up. Yet I felt completely calm throughout yesterday’s game. Is that the most controlled Arsenal performance in recent memory? #arsecastextra

@DrDreHistorian From the wisdom of Reddit… otherwise you could always read Tony Barker’s history of football in WA and select a team based on which one has the most captivating origin story!

@arseblog My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

[Ben S @sacks_ben]

@DrDreHistorian Looking forward to having you over on the Best coast! I’m also at Curtin so looking forward to catching up soon (ish)

@catie_gressier @JustineMaldon E-passes aplenty if anyone is curious!

@malcomaxx @AfricanSunMedia Thanks @malcomaxx - I've set my alarm already!

[Ben S @sacks_ben]

@HistoryMartin @PalgraveHistory @palmacpolitics @malcomaxx And a big ‘thank you’ to both of you - you’ve both been very supportive of the project!

[Ben S @sacks_ben]

@HistoryMartin @PalgraveHistory @palmacpolitics Thanks @HistoryMartin and @malcomaxx! I’m chuffed and honoured that the book has been shortlisted.

@DrDreHistorian @finnarne I second the Logitech recommendation. I’ve had a portable Bluetooth model (the Easyswitch variety) for at least 5 years with no dramas.

All hail Mark, King of Westralia.

McGowan: "In effect we'll be turning Western Australia into an island within an island, our own country." Secession ho! @DrDreHistorian

[Ben S @sacks_ben]

@rider_jon @HistoryMartin @Palgrave_ @uwanews @PalgraveHistory @palmacpolitics Yes very much so. I wrote (tangentially) about it in a chapter based on the conference paper I presented at ISHPES in 2018. I’ll send you the PDF once it’s finalised :)

[Ben S @sacks_ben]

@rider_jon @HistoryMartin @Palgrave_ @uwanews @PalgraveHistory @palmacpolitics Thanks Jon! We’re officially Palgrave pals now.

[Ben S @sacks_ben]

@HistoryMartin @Palgrave_ @uwanews @PalgraveHistory @palmacpolitics Thanks for your support Martin! I’m looking forward to seeing it in the flesh soon.

@DarylAdair This is the first time I genuinely thought it couldn’t be real.
