As a supplement to the piece in The Times Literary Supplement (@thetls.bsky.social), www.the-tls.com/regular-feat..., here’s a (rather long!) thread on Shakespeare’s house in the Blackfriars, what we knew, and what we now know, with some links to key documents. (1/20)

In this weekend’s FT: me on why I love Canary Wharf:

Goodness they ARE experimenting with genre.

It’s the result of massive bot activity, downloading data at a scale which our infrastructure has found challenging. We have been finding this across all our metadata resources in recent months.

Dramaturging this (King Lear, Ian McDiarmid, dir. Titas Halder!) later this year. Thrilled to announce, etc!

Check out this resource and those in the replies. Lots of great places for finding public domain / Creative Commons images that may help to illustrate #FamilyHistory, #LocalHistory and #OnePlaceStudy blog posts and articles! #OnePlaceWednesday

Really keen to develop our print content, and as a fanzine, there's nobody better to help us with that than the fans. This 5-minute survey is for Arsenal Women supporters, however you've previously interacted with the Gooner Fanzine, to have your say docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

ANNOYED ABOUT THE NEW WSL KICKOFF TIMES? Or love them? I would really appreciate you sharing your opinion with me, for my newest piece. forms.gle/MaMEkS3mJLF4...

Government and the main opposition can and should convene civic society! All that is being asked is that the government show as much leadership and integrity as the world’s best Arsenal blog.

New on the blog! In one of our latest blogs, Sharon O'Connor and David Natzler from the Dulwich Society local history group share how they have been recording their local boundary markers. Find out more: ow.ly/SfjK50WNsOl #WeAreLocalHistory #LocalHistoryForAll

Historians are often tempted to tell you something is "worth about X in today's dollars." Here's why I think you should not do that, and what I think you should do instead buttondown.com/anotherway/a...

Great to see and hear this #HistNursing story from @rteradio1.bsky.social www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

ARSENAL WON THE EUROS!!

6. Having followed AWFC closely since 2012, I now care much more about the fortunes of Arsenal Women than Arsenal men, and the reason is that the absence of VAR makes the matchday experience better.

I’m glad you asked. Not many people know this but Chloe Kelly won the Champions League with Arsenal, the only English club to have won it. (Who have now won it: twice!)

A number of sources have disclosed to me it was The Arsenal!

We can make a world without plastic that’s healthier for people and our ocean planet.

Arsenal Women confirm the permanent signing of England winger and 2025 Champions League winner Chloe Kelly. Full story here 👇🔴⚪ arseblog.news/2025/07/arse...

Furthermore, our team has created an 1821 Census Gleanings Map, where users can search for transcribed names from 1821 and zoom in to see townlands where we have recovered names. Explore it here: kg.virtualtreasury.ie/collection-m...

It’s the weekly round up you didn’t know you needed, featuring Ocean Vuong, Islington’s ageing Irish, the memories of a teenage Maoist and much more including new writing/reporting opportunities open.substack.com/pub/padraigr...

Piece on Arsenal committing to play all WSL home games at the Emirates, a huge success story for the club and the fans, some of the factors that have enabled it to happen so quickly and some context around moving UWCL group games back to Meadow Park and the extended partnership with Boreham Wood 👇🔴⚪

This lovely piece about our second European cup is the kind of thing I would never have seen in a million years on X these days.

With thanks to @physoc.bsky.social for their championing of Dr Widdowson and the Women’s Network at King’s.

Fantastic to see pioneer nutritionist Dr Elsie Widdowson honoured @kingscollegenhs.bsky.social today thanks to Dr Margaret Ashwell. Elsie grew up in Dulwich and attended Sydenham High School. More here: www.dulwichsociety.com/people/elsie... #LocalHistory

Highly recommend this and any of Lev’s books. 👇

Suzanne Wrack has written some lovely pieces before and after our second European Cup. On Chloe Kelly‘s triumphant homecoming:

It’s the time of year when you might find a baby bird and want to help. Most often (and slightly counterintuitively) it’s best to do nothing. Here’s a useful guide.

Impressive and well-researched work from Gavin Lee and @france24.com on the Shakspaire letter. youtu.be/imXFvpoD5Ns?...

Delighted to say that my article, "The Shakspaires of Trinity Lane: A Possible Shakespeare Life-Record" is now fully published and open-access! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Wrote about this photo, how extraordinary it was, and my realisation that women played virtually no part in big decisions taken before 1979. open.substack.com/pub/rostaylo...

Archbishop Justin Welby’s interview with Laura Kuenssberg yesterday was typically tone-deaf and self-serving - but Private Eye has had his number long before that… 🧵(1/4)

The magic of Mariona Caldentey sends the Emirates into raptures 🪄 @ArsenalWFC #BarclaysWSL

Apparently it was causing Camilla great anxiety to think about people next door to her bolthole. No, not Highgrove or Windsor or Buckingham Palace or Sandringham or Balmoral or Clarence House. Her bolthole.

Happy International Women's Day, agents! 🕵️‍♀️ It's good stuff isn't it! ​ #InternationalWomensDay

I'm sure there's a stupider idea to 'grow the sport' than 'women's football should do away with relegation'. Perhaps they could fit the Emirates with jets of water to spray us with on cold days?
