Yeah it’s usually boots so I’m guessing it’s some sort of deal. But like if I have a thing a pharmacist can sort I go to one. I had a contagious rash on my stupid face. But let me mingle with as many people as possible.

To “save time” at the GP from unnecessary appointments, a triage process has twice taken me AN ENTIRE DAY. And I’ve ended up wasting an A&E space when the GP was shut because the symptoms were too serious to wait overnight. (Although didn’t need A&E). It’s INSANITY.

And now it’s GPs 😭. Phone a receptionist who tells you to go to Boots where you explain yourself in the queue to a bemused pharmacist, who directs you to NHS111 who directs you back to the GP: but now it’s closed! they have no choice but to direct you to A&E because it can’t wait till the next day.

What's a translator, editor and journalist with two degrees in history to do? ...

For reasons, it would be v. helpful to have information from a broad range of academic and non-academic (incl. GLAM) users of the BBC Written Archives OTHER THAN historians, briefly on: 1) What you've used it for and 2) How the proposed changes would impact on your research.

Reposts welcomed.

I got my first taste of archival research when visited the BBC written Archives as a 3rd year undergrad in 2001 to research my dissertation.

I studied the papers relating to radio programme 'Ack-Ack Beer-Beer', broadcast in WWII for Anti-Aircraft and Balloon Barrage personnel.

At @ihr.bsky.social we can now offer PhD by Publication in History! For those with a substantial body of existing published research (within past 10 years), but without a PhD, should be of particular interest to #heritage professionals and independent scholars!

It's not a 'race debate', it's plain old racism.

Carer health and safety is already a major issue that's barely discussed outside the profession, compounded by demand and extractive practices of employers.

Unfortunately this workforce, like those they care for, hold zero interest for most people

Men have no spatial awareness. At a cafe, a man was manoeuvring a buggy in. His technique was: shove the door as hard as he could inward, more than 90 degrees, quickly ram the buggy past before it began to swing back. A technique that meant the door handle bounced HARD in the middle of my back.

Great news! A grant to assist the performance of women composers

This is such a lovely meditation on the importance of human teachers v. AI
Not up to reading v. much atm, but so pleased I managed these paragraphs — totally worth it

Delighted to see my article exploring how Britons planned for retirement in the mid-to-late 20th century out in the world! It tries to capture the mixed feelings prompted by ageing & retirement whilst connecting those themes to wider histories of social democracy, selfhood & financialisation.

Yeah it wasn’t you though, a lot of people convinced you 😡- also are you in Oxford IN PERSON???

Probably artistic decision but all I can think is … Teething?!

@drdiongeorgiou.bsky.social I mean this is generally great parenting but there is anti-Cypriot slander in there vm.tiktok.com/ZNdWQXj6E/

Yes! And the misery when a woman running in front. I had one kill himself to get in front of me, I overtook him, killed himself to overtake, I overtook cos he immediately slowed, and felt like saying - dude I’m doing another 8 miles give it up 🙄 which he did eventually

Ohhhh I can see that, it has the drying in locks look.
