Congratulations to @fabiolacreed.bsky.social on her book The Rise and Fall of the Sunbed in Britain. Some of the questions it answers are:
🌧️ Why are sunbeds more prevalent in North(-West) Britain?
🚭 Is the sunbed industry similar to the tobacco, nicotine and alcohol industry?

Dr Fabiola Creed @fabiolacreed.bsky.social · 7d

📙 Bluesky is the only platform where I haven’t circulated my book, as I’d recently joined and was waiting for the physical copy. So here it is (last book post, I promise) 📙

Here's a little Friday thought from William Morris, who died on this day in 1896: "...the first step toward the fresh new-birth of art must interfere with the privilege of private persons to destroy the beauty of the earth for their private advantage, and thereby to rob the community.”
