On the 480th anniversary of her execution, I was so touched to attend the blessing of Anne Askew’s newly laid memorial. I am so happy that so many more people will know of her. A great day for women who live according to their own conscience, do their reading & cite their sources, and love divorce

The Wuthering Heights discourse annoys me on so many levels, but I especially hate to see people forgetting how genuinely funny parts of it are.

A thread of my articles at Wellcome Stories. Starting with some very good dogs. wellcomecollection.org/stories/guid...

Medieval illustrations often show blind people, sometimes with dogs. But working out whether these were actually guide dogs involves a mix of detailed detective work and expert speculation.

It's been such fun cutting my TV Consultant teeth fact-checking scripts for this show. It's been very fun to wear both my 'academic pedant' and 'engaging interpretation and storytelling' hats at the same time! (and always a joy to annoy the amazing team at @bharchives.bsky.social)

Sarah Elizabeth Cox@oispooky.bsky.social · 6mo agoA man, and evidently sick bastard, called Russell Edwards (Jack the Ripper Experience on FB, well known in press for nonsense identity takes) has used the post-mortem photo of Elizabeth Stride and AI-d it to make her look alive and talking. Too much, too far. What on EARTH is going through his head?
I do not have time to be polite to friends/ mutuals/ colleagues who are posting those vapid ‘AI caricatures’ of themselves. I can’t say I told you so, when we’re all dead from disaster, be it ecological or geopolitical.
