> R*dditors are worthless

I hope this isn't news to anyone.




🧐 Je remplace ma collègue pour les validations de demandes de communication des #archives et #manuscrits modernes. Ma première rencontre avec un #sceau métallique de ce genre. On dirait qu'il y a des cachous à l'intérieur, il fait un petit bruit quand on le secoue...😮
in reply to Nadine Férey

C’est drôle, je suis tombée sur un sceau du même genre cette semaine (dans des archives privées). Il s’agit d’une indulgence accordée par Autain du Prat, archevêque de Sens, en 1533. Il manque la 2e partie du petit boîtier métallique.
Et je ne sais pas non plus ce que c’est…!



REMINDER FOR NON-BRITS:

Kemi Badenoch—the new leader of the Conservative party—is a woman of colour.

But she's also:
— a climate change denialist
— denies institutional racism exists
— a militant transphobe who wants to strip transgender people of civil rights
— believes the British Empire was beneficial to its colonies
— opposes marriage equality
— Prejudiced against autism

... She's the most right-wing leader the party's ever had.

(She's the anti-Kamala Harris.)

And the really scary thing is, she’s still a more moderate choice than Jenrick. 🤦‍♂️
in reply to Kim Spence-Jones 🇬🇧😷

@KimSJ Jenrick's face gives me flashbacks to the class bully when I was attending a grammar school in the 1970s, and his statements tend to reinforce the negative impression …

I am convinced that those raised hood trucks were marketed to men with fantasies about running down protestors with their assault vehicles.


Britain loves its beach huts. I must have seen thousands on my recent trip to Kent. They are a direct descendant of the bathing machines of Georgian and Victoriam times, and the changing tents of the Edwardian era. Their heyday was probably the post-war holiday boom of the 1950s, but they remain improbably popular and, in the right location, can change hands for eye-watering sums.

sounds like lots of priviledges if you are part of the club. If own a passport from a Balkan country, which is in an European area btw, you get bullied at borders and airports based on stereotypes.


The Ancrene Wisse gives a pretty strict set of rules for anchoresses, religious women who live confined to a small cell for maximum prayer and contemplation, but you do get to have a cat. blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscrip…


"Next time a council announces a crackdown on cycling due to the activity of delivery riders, perhaps have a think about why and how we have allowed companies to operate with a business model that is more or less predicated on mass illegality."
