History shouldn’t kill curiosity.
On History Rage, @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social explains how rigid teaching, silos and narrow narratives drain the life from history — and how we might fix it.

I’m so excited to be back in Norwich tomorrow @norwichplayhouse!!

The city is very precious to me. I wrote about Mother Julian & made my favourite documentary searching for her lost manuscript. It will be a joy to be with you. Book here norwichtheatre.org/whats-on/janin…

This year for me is about looking after body, mind & soul. I have always thrived in chaos & am best when busy, but I’ve been burying deeper needs to be kind to myself. I love hard on those around me but not on myself. I’m going to take little steps to change. Bring it on 2026!

My love for Poland runs deep, having 3 out of 4 Polish grandparents. But this filming has turned that love into a fascination & infatuation. I can’t thank @artywaldy enough for the experience. You’ll get to see the fruits of our labours soon in Nina & Waldy’s Adventures in Poland
December 6, 2025 at 4:23 PM
Hysteria kicking in on day 3 of a mad, thrilling, wonderful filming adventure with @artywaldy through Poland!! More photos to come. What a crazy few weeks it’s been!
Unsurprisingly I crawled home at midnight and have woken with the flu 🤧🤒😣
