Huge thank you to @marloavidon.bsky.social and Aelfred for putting together @stuartsymposium.bsky.social! It was so much fun and I’d do it again without a second thought 😄

Should add that I feel similarly about the far more reasonably priced Liberty x Adidas collab

Question for the Restorationists: Does anyone know anything about a particular ‘stocking incident’ that happened c. 1671 that was so indecent that it couldn’t be described in a letter or printed in an 19th century volume of correspondence 👀

It's really happening!

I manifested this during the #SHSConf2025 pub quiz @louisebell.bsky.social

As always, I had the best time at #SHSConf2025 ❤️ It was an amazing chance to share some of my current research and meet some wonderful scholars! Thank you to all the team at @socialhistsoc.bsky.social for facilitating such an enriching conference!

Final couple of touches to the ol' powerpoint slides for #shsconf2025 tomorrow. Come along to the Early Modern Networks: Work, Leisure, and Consumption strand to take a trip into the maritime with me, alongside print trade and fashion with @marloavidon.bsky.social and @joesaunders1.bsky.social

Had an amazing first day at #SHSConf2025 - Was so caught up in the excitement these were the only pictures I managed to take (whoops), but can confirm the Black Country Living History Museum makes the best conference venue EVER!

I’ve only had a very quick look whilst running to a panel, but how cool a venue is @bclivingmuseum.bsky.social for this year’s @socialhistsoc.bsky.social conference?! #SHSConf2025

Fantastic roundtable at the #SHSConf2025 on material culture! Featuring four fabulous speakers - @simonbriercliffe.bsky.social on @bclivingmuseum.bsky.social; @timhitchcock.bsky.social on convict tokens; @anahowie.bsky.social on portraiture & pearl fisheries & Simon Morgan on radical pottery✨

I realize it's been a long time so figured a Life/PhD Update is slightly overdue! In the last couple months I have: - Finished a second journal article - Completely transcribed and quantified several account books into Excel - Read a lot of letters - Clung onto my sanity
