Here, for
@historyworkshop.org.uk
I discuss the history of a refuge for trans women. I show women’s shared experiences of violence across the spectrum of cis and trans. I highlight histories of solidarity against male violence by feminists and trans women.

Ok, skystorians: are there good surveys of slavery in the ancient/classical Mediterranean? I'm presuming there's something better out there than the opening chapters of Blackburn and D. B. Davis's books.

There's also a longish epistolary poem about platonic love in imitation of The Earl of Rochester's great poem Artemisa To Chloe. Has references to Skyrim and oxcontin and getting assaulted by a minor YBA (not tracy emin) You can read an earlier version of this one here if you want a taster

Today is Plough Monday, the first Monday after Epiphany, when agricultural labourers would start to plough the fields in preparation for sowing and planting crops. Hopefully the end result would be as beautiful as these fields, from a manuscript map of Hunsdon House, Herts, c1820

Very taken by this c. 1530 painting of the cloth market in s'Hertogenbosch. The (anonymous) artist seems to have heard of perspective, but not quite to have got the hang of it. Apparently it was commissioned by the cloth-sellers guild, and Hieronymus Bosch lives in the 7th house from the right.

you can also just run the blender for 20 or so minutes (with the bags in) and the motor will heat everything up

TAMU was the first place I took a feminist theory class and read Frederick Douglass, James Baldwin, Umberto Eco, and Cherrie Moraga. I learned to print on a common press, collate a print book, code in SQL and Python, and read French. Because each professor determined their own content.
