Actually aghast that, a few months after signing up "just in case" (because how many people actually read my work, surely?), I received a surprise royalties payment from @alcs.co.uk yesterday 😯 Hey, maybe I can make a go of this public history lark.

I'm in History Today again, with a review of Indira Ghose's new book 🤗

Ah sweet, honestly I love anything featuring Will Green.

🚨The Book of Sir Thomas More: Piece by Piece will be an epic deep dive into the play by Anthony Munday and friends. Joining us across the day will be our wonderful panelists, Tracey Hill, Will Green, Daniel Yabut and Tiffany Stern! Other guests may be added! www.ticketsource.co.uk/beyondshakes...

Taking a bit of a break from working on this index to start prepping for my first professional public lecture 🤗 Coming to St. Mary's Guildhall Coventry on Sunday 3rd May!

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price electricity water clean air knowledge you name it they should be treated like the common thieves they are

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Loving this blazon for the Ghost of Lucrece by Thomas Middleton. "death that shrimpe of spirits" 🦐 , "Her haire which in Arachnes finest loome, / Was kist with siluer shickles [shuttles?]" 🕷️"Her eies the curious fabricke of her world" 🌍

Mate, it's been like a year! Don't disappear forever and then reappear on my route today with no explanation. Where have you been? 😭

Don't yell at librarians when they cannot provide you with materials LLMs told you existed but don't exist. Come on folks.

Turns out the Stratford Observer also ran a piece on the new interpretation 😍 stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/all-the...

Every so often I still think how weird it was that in my last redundancy process HR sent me a questionnaire that included asking me what job I was moving to, with the note that "Unknown is not an allowed answer" 🙃

My thanks to the brilliant @drwillgreen.bsky.social for having me form part of his exciting special issue on Shakespeare and Middleton, and for his superb editorial work.

This piece by @freeburian.bsky.social is the first article from the forthcoming special issue on Shakespeare and Middleton, which I am guest editing. So pleased to see it live 🙂

Having to get past drunken far right protesters tonight in Solihull just to get home after work. Cue "how do you know they're far right? 🤬" Mate, no one else goes out in torrential rain and hangs England flags on the church.

Heron right outside the patio 😳

Further adventures in freelance life: I've been asked to review this for History Today 😄

🚨Latest pod drop - it's King's Gambit, a look at the immediate aftermath of A Game at Chess by Thomas Middleton. With readings of letters and official accounts, plus expert panellists: @danielyabut.bsky.social @tracelarkhall.bsky.social @drwillgreen.bsky.social audioboom.com/posts/879774...

Hey it's me 👇

Most constant worry when translating my teaching/presentation style into public talks... especially when its half term and kids are present? My brain's constant commentary of "don't swear, don't swear"...

But surely this means that with the savings they'll make from not employing humans, they'll be able to pass those on to customers by doing away with the admin fee for cancelling tickets, or offer us discounts on the tickets themselves right? .... right!?

Time for a press release! Read a little about the launch of my new heritage exhibition here 😀 www.nottingham.ac.uk/news/exhibit...

I'm in the November issue of History Today, with a piece inspired by the work I did for my recent AHRC postdoc and ongoing museum curation work 🙂

In a world set to be dominated by AI, surely the humanities will be the only degrees worth taking...?

As much as I dislike Starmer - and I do - I love the fact that if Musk actually understood facts and figures he'd probably cry himself to sleep at night over the fact that Starmer's net favourability is still higher than his own.

Bye bye Elon. I'm not even going to support this manipulative bullshit by leaving my dormant account on your fascistic platform. It's time for as many right minded people as possible to stop helping to line this idiot's cavernous pockets.

Reminding everyone that Robert Hardy published scholarly works on the English longbow. And now every celebrity is pumping out children's books. A handful are flooding the market with murder mysteries.

Couldn't resist spending a bit of my holiday on the trail of more travelling players - this time at Boston Guildhall in Lincolnshire.

Off the back of this, I also now have a mini profile up on Manchester Met's Break with Rome Anniversaries Group page. I'm available to heritage/education talks for museums, groups, schools, and universities, plus musum consultancy. Feel free to get in touch 😄 mcphh.wordpress.com/break-with-r...

This is a momentous Friday - it's up and running! 😄 The fruits of my 2024-5 Nottingham postdoc, transforming an underused space at Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall. (The only permanent exhibition on early modern drama beyond Shakespeare, within an authentic early modern performance space.)
