As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

The idea came from our old tabby Chi famous for doing a full wall of death around the living room when he had a serious case of the zoomies. 😸 I couldn’t manage him running up the walls, but I painted him racing flat-out. What do you think? Did I catch him?

Mill workers were hugely important in the push to get women the vote. Although wages were low they, wielded economic power and were well organised.
They often, unfairly, get overlooked in the popular narrative where the quest for the vote gets cast as a purely middle or upper class movement.

It’s International Men’s Day. Obviously these things are sort of ludicrous in the main, but maybe it’s a good time for people to reflect on the fact that something around 4/5 suicides are men, which never seems anything less than absolutely terrifying to me.

Yup... here it is, as found, in the PAS database - it's been straightened out for sale (something archaeological conservators wouldn't do - it was likely intentionally crushed in antiquity. Also, are we 100% sure this is right shape??)

Two years seem like no time at all to try and heal from the trauma that has made you a refugee seeking Sanctuary in 1st place. Yet alone have the energy to achieve all this with the fear of losing everything again.
To stay permanently refugees have to lean the language and establish a long-term career path, and they have to do this on the basis of rolling two-year residence permits. But who is going to invest in you as a worker if you might soon get kicked out?
The UK wants to emulate Denmark’s hardline asylum model – but what does it actually look like?
Denmark has slashed asylum numbers by granting only short-term status and by targeting ‘ghettoes’, which critics say has damaged the country’s values
