One more in the series 'is this the same person many years apart?'

What do we reckon?

Another is this the same person a few years apart. Is he even wearing the same suit? This one is from Swansea, taken in the same photography studio:

Does anyone think these photos could be of the same woman, a few years apart?

I last had time to sew in November. I'm trying to get back into it. I'm bad at faces, so apologies to @arifa.bsky.social for my version of the cover of your amazing book (which I loved so much).

Rules : I reuse materials I already own / I can't spend longer sewing than reading

And what about the word "HOMO" (in which all letters are crossed out except for the "M"), including a small "z" as part of the M, you may ask?

That's easy and tricky, and here I need a bit of your help.

Bit later than some, but happy to have finally finished my marking and have had a little holiday up in Scotland.
If anyone knows of any teaching opportunities next academic year. Or if anyone needs a freelancer to do some archival work, please get in touch.

As one of the UEA eight, I think this is a very important question.

Eight compulsory redundancies. Just how much do you hate your staff that you go through the trouble of destroying the livelihoods of these colleagues, for just *eight* salaries. What's that, in relation to the entire operating budget of the university?

Exactly this. What’s striking across the HE-bonfire-board is the meanness, the triviality, the TINY amounts saved in these cuts. Lives ruined through job loss at worst, fear/burnout/disengagement at best. And for truly trivial savings compared to the cost of one yachted-in management consultant

Most of the news is horrifying and this story from Bourton-on-the-Water is no exception. Brace yourselves: a family of eight arrived for a picnic to find that… other people were also having picnics 😱 www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/whats-on/wha...

The desire to take a fixed address was assumed as a given in modern British society. But what how did ideas of sedentarism affect the lives of Gypsy/Traveller children and families in Scotland?

Hello, random person who left their passport photos inside volume one of Somerset Maugham's Complete Short Stories in the UEA library. Anybody know who it is? I'd like to reunite them with their pictures.
