"but what can I do I don't have the skills to undermine a fascist regime" — if you are a bluesky user YES YOU CAN
General Interference with Organizations and Production (a) Organizations and Conferences (1) Insist on doing everything though "channels." Never permit shortcuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions. (2) Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length.. Illustrate your. "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments. (3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideratlon." Attempt to make the committees as large as possible — never less than five. [highlighted] (4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

The first episode of @kickasswomenof.bsky.social has dropped. This one is for you if you like medieval history, religious history, women's history... heck if you like history in general.
I've to pay a visit to the @britishlibrary.bsky.social to check out their Medieval Women when I'm in London next

#AHFadvent 10: Looks like Christmas has come early at the Broadway Cinema, Prestwick! 🎄 This community-owned, Art Deco building is being brought back into meaningful use as a cinema, a multi-purpose entertainment venue, and an inclusive dementia-friendly space.

During times of high winds, we all jump on YouTube and watch planes trying to land at Heathrow, with excited commentary from the UK's premier plane nerd channel.

In July 2024, the government announced its plans to deliver “the next generation of new towns”. But this will require far more than just housebuilding. In a new report, Rosa Marks explores what lesson...

Rajeshwari Chatterjee was the first female engineer from the state of Karnataka. She set up India's first microwave engineering lab, and her work on satellite communications and spacecraft & aircraft antennae is still influential today.

Hi Bluesky. Kudos to all of you who are trying to make this site a viable alternative to X. I’ve rejoined and will do my best to contribute things that make the world seem sunnier, rather than doomed. Sending you love, art, history and all things gloriously nerdy.

Am listening back to old episodes, some I’ve missed, of @nataliehaynes.bsky.social Stand Up For The Classics series. They are all soooo good! I thought about learning some Ancient Greek, but I think I’ll just do more advanced Latin, and run the Minimus children’s Latin classes I planned years ago!

Still only on the first set of colours, and got bored of doing the original waves (upper section in the photo) but enjoying the way the colours go together and letting myself vary stitches as I please.
