Day of the Dead

How the Swedish deal with it

Got to love A Level Sociology. Althusserian ‘Odd one out’, and Ideological State Apparatus is so familiar it’s an abbreviation.

Very pleased that this is now published open access: “Fire in Jamaica, 1831-32” in Journal of British Studies doi.org/10.1017/jbr.... The politics of fire and habitation in the largest uprising in the British Caribbean colonies.

Now that’s a juke box.

Great to have Vincent Brown at Queen Mary this week. Excellent lecture this evening on ‘Black History’s warning to the world’.

Lovely late summer sailing: Whitstable to Sheppey return.

Ok. That’s changed since I was last on London Wall.

Dropped into the V&A to see Francis Williams. Good to see him getting some attention again.

It’s Tube time. Always loved this clock.

A question for seasoned Blueskyers: does the feed have to refresh to the newest post, meaning you have to scroll back? Or can it be set to refresh and let you scroll forward?
