🏺👑 @nataliehaynes.bsky.social tops our 2025 chart by raging that Greek myth is far less male-centric than pop culture claims. The women were always there.

If you have ANY interest in the London poor of the late 19thC or even if you don’t, I highly recommend any courses by @misssarahwise.bsky.social
‘It was not in his nature to do anything by halves:’ Mary Booth on her husband’s work. No lie detected. I run a course that demystifies Charles Booth’s massive Life & Labour survey and the accompanying Poverty Map.
