We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

My kiddos dinner looked like this today. Probably 2 more meals like this before I give up pumping after his 12 week jabs, because there is only so long I can keep up this pathetic charade of 'combi feeding'. I guess this is my body's way of making up for having been better at pregnancy than expected

Antibodies harvested from the blood of paediatricians are up to 25 times better at protecting against the common respiratory infection RSV than existing antibody therapies, and are now being developed as preventative treatments

Last year from January to June 471 people were killed or seriously injured on the roads in Birmingham, UK- and that was celebrated as an 18% reduction on the year before. Population is bigger than Brussels (9 deaths) but smaller than Berlin (55 deaths). We have so much further to go.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Another archaeology and nature job. Looks like a great opportunity www.bajr.org/job-ad/proje...

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

From the Archaeological Textiles Review 66. atnfriends.com/index.php/20... I know, I'm an old sentimental fool, but seeing that these 1000 year old child's mittens from Iceland were attached with a string made me a little emotional, my mittens were tied together when I was little.

Sort of got to respect this energy. Might have to try out that final sentiment on people I want to visit.

Or to put it another way, "Council officials planned a development on the well-known site of an important castle without budgeting sufficiently for the archaeology"

Having a child who likes sleep more than food is wonderful until you find yourself googling things like 'how many hours can a 10 week old safely go without milk?' And getting no answers, instead of, you know, sleeping.

Myself and Colin Breen have written in "Maritime Ireland" about seaweed harvesting on Ireland's coastline, in 19th century. These are local rights, well known and established through built features (e.g. wrack walls, kilns, etc). There is no way that such rights be taken over by foreign companies.

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

It's not an easy task. It takes a certain kind of approach which combines listening closely and trying to understand the person on the other end of the line....The work across the city has had a real impact. Over the course of 2024, an extra 7,000 vaccinations were carried out'.

London’s “worst mass eviction in recent history” is underway; hundreds of households across London told to get out of their homes this week by the same landlord, ahead of the renters rights act. The landlord? Billionaire Asif Aziz’s Criterion Capital. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

I really need a new phone. I can't get a newer smartphone without AI, so I am not buying one...

I'm a clueless new mom so I doubt this tip is news to many parents, but at least one friend said they had never thought of it, so just in case. If your kiddo has a sleeping bag with a zip, you can put a disposable changing pad INSIDE the sleeping bag to protect it from accidents during night changes

A common fictional narrative shows people with nonconforming identities finding self-acceptance in towns and cities. This #LGBTQHistoryMonth, archivist Lottie Wood explores how author E. M. Barraud found the opposite, through rural work and the Women’s Land Army. merl.reading.ac.uk/news-and-vie...

I looked for this ALL MORNING and finally found it WOULD YOU SURVIVE VICTORIAN INFANCY? textadventures.co.uk/games/view/l... (The hosting is very 2003, but I made it on Twine in 2021 and must shift to hosting it locally)

The cutest noise in the history of the world is the little funny coo my baby makes when he fails to sneeze. One day, he is going to stop making it and I will have no record of it because who could possibly capture that fleeting moment, but I hope I will remember it forever.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers Is Tyggers are burning bright Their tops are made out of rubber In the forest of the night What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, Immortal hand or eye Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers, Their fearful symmetry!

Why is it when you put the baby down very quietly and carefully so you can sleep or do something vital they wake up immediately, but when you casually sling them down because actually it would be great if they woke up and had another bottle before your bedtime, they sleep like a log?!

Special for Valentines Day - Cardioderma cor, the Heart-nosed Bat from central Africa! Eater of insects & small mammals, these bats are monogamous. They also "sing" likely to advertise territory but also for social reasons. The only species in this genus! ❤️-👃🦇#HappyValentinesDay

I am not going to watch this because my nervous system isn't cut out for horror films but I did have to laugh at this. My PhD in Death took so much longer than 7 years...

1804. Oceans are now Battlefields. In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French. It should be a massacre. Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

I'm not used to having such nice weather

Help wanted. Can anyone identify the clothing worn by the young woman in this portrait photo by W.T. Furniss who is buried at Wardsend. It looks like work wear e.g. munitions worker (the period is right) but the scarf/neckerchief and fascinator(?) are a bit of a puzzle.

Sorry I can’t this weekend man I have to wander around my home like a tormented ghost for a couple days

New proposals that would force poorly paid migrant workers to wait longer for earned settlement are nothing more than an assault on working-class people www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme enable VAT on repairs to be reclaimed. The scheme was in place since 2001. It was UK-wide, easy to apply for, and scrupulously fair: Westminster Abbey and a tiny church on Anglesey were on a level footing when it came to this scheme.

Hey, several batches of baby formula from a couple different brands in the uk and Europe have been recalled for contamination causing illness: if you formula feed, check your supply. Info here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Parents- how many times have you nap trapped yourself without a drink and resorted to drinking the still slightly tepid water from the Pyrex jug you warmed the bottle up in? Just me?

Obituary | Clare Gittings, 1954-2025 Clare was a talented, generous and thoughtful colleague whose passion and knowledge inspired many others.

The bad news is that the first time the baby goes more than 4 hours without a bottle and sleeps longer than expected both parents will end up awake checking on him obsessively in case something is wrong. The good news is that when baby is then fed and spits up mom's pj pocket is a great sick bag.
