Thanks to @drannaloismckay.bsky.social & @ecwliv.bsky.social for inviting me and giving me a chance to test out this work-in-progress methodology on you all!
Enjoyed a fascinating talk @ecwliv.bsky.social today by @catsbeck.bsky.social on disability and seafarers in the eighteenth-century: an important and thought-provoking topic. I learnt a lot!
