Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

Oh lord, I am so sorry! Thankfully, he's not drawn blood yet, but I think that may be because my nipples are 99% hardened scar tissue by this point. 😭

Whomever characterised breastfeeding as a beautiful, natural, easy thing clearly never fed a biter. Jesus christ!

Currently trying to read some feedback on an article draft whilst at a 5th birthday party inside a soft play, after being up most of the night with a teething baby.

It's not going well.

Describing academic research that people do as part of their career (whether in a paid position or in the hopes of getting one) as 'hobbyist' is so fucking patronising. It's made my blood boil.

Husband and I have a deal that when we watch historical fiction I don't keep pointing out the errors and ruining it for him.

We're three minutes into King and Conqueror and I'm already struggling.

Today I found a jewellery box stashed inside an old wardrobe in our garage. How exciting I thought, perhaps my husband has bought me a fancy and beautiful gift and plans to surprise me!

He had not.

Here’s the truth about Britain’s immigration hysteria: Starmer and co have whipped it up to get cheap votes | Nesrine Malik
He is part of a political establishment that is fuelling a crisis way beyond the point that they can ever be seen to solve it. It’s a cynical, idiotic doom loop, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

You've just reminded me that an absolutely stonking happy hardcore mix of Grieg's in the Hall of the Mountain King exists. Off to track it down on YouTube and pretend I'm young again!

I cannot stop thinking about that photo of the starving Palestinian baby. It is such a gutwrenching snapshot of unimaginable and needless suffering.

The government response to this petition is infuriating.
“Maternity and other types of Parental Pay are intended to provide a measure of financial security to support parents whilst they are away from the workplace; they are not a replacement of earnings” except they literally are??? Please sign:
Petition: Raise statutory maternity/paternity pay to match the National Living Wage
Statutory maternity and paternity pay is £4.99 per hour for a full-time worker on 37.5 hours per week - approximately 59% less than the 2024 National Living Wage of £12.21 per hour for workers aged 21...

Beware, I was very sneezy on Monday and it was neither dust nor hay-fever but instead a god-awful respiratory virus!

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

Nothing incites my postpartum rage more than people who park in parent and child parking spaces who don't have children with them. I have started loudly shouting "oh, you've forgotten your baby" after people whenever I see this. Making a difference one public shaming at a time!

Max Wilkinson challenging James Orr every time he tries to dogwhistle or bullshit on politics live is an absolute joy to behold.

This! Multiple family members were astounded when I explained that the 30 free hours wasn't actually 30 hours or in fact free due to us needing year round as opposed to term-time only care, and our nursery charging a pretty standard top-up fee per free hour.

Absolutely! I'm on maternity leave at the moment, so my response may be slower than usual, but I'd love to talk about this further!

There are some fascinating depositions preserved in Morton's Register from 6 men employed at the Lambeth registry in the 1490s which discuss the nature of their work in making copies of documents available publicly. They're also available via the Lambeth Palace Library catalogue I think.

Aha! Is the same hand on all of the other documents in the case or just the copies of the executors' accounts? The inventories I work on were submitted to the court alongside the accounts and so likely originally held together in the lambeth registry...

Oooh, interesting! Do you know which court dealt with his probate? The hand looks like one I have identified as belonging to a clerk working in the registry of Lambeth Palace who produced copies of inventories proved at the Prereogative Court of Canterbury.
