The work of multitalented English embroidery designer May Morris (1862-1938). She was crucial to the Arts and Crafts Movement, elevating embroidery to a fine art, challenging its perception as low value 'women's work', while also supporting fellow female artists #WomensArt

Recommendation: THE BLACKEST STREETS: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A VICTORIAN SLUM, by Sarah Wise (2008). It's full of astonishing details about the lives of the poor and the attempts made to help and/or control them. Wise's sense of humor and her sense of justice are both admirable.

A tomb with a view; Maen y Bardd or The Poet Stone on Tal-y-Fan near Conwy. Part of an amazing historical landscape which at one point, I’m told, was intended to be the route of the A55 expressway. Thank goodness that never happened! #TombTuesday

I highly recommend @jeanguerre.bsky.social's HATEMONGER (pub. 2020), about Miller's ideology and actions during Trump's first term. The experienced civil servants that served to restrain him then are now gone. Guerrero explains without excusing; the story is frightening and infuriating.

Stephen Miller isn’t just closing borders. He is trying to overturn decades of American history and progress.
Let’s stop pretending this is normal.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Dark Plot to Build a MAGA Terror State
He is descended from Russian Jews—you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and unassimilable. How far will Miller’s sadistic designs go?
