I have yet to experience a "quiet" coach, despite me always booking a seat in it to work in peace. There's always someone having a phone call ("it won't take long"), whose kid's playing a videogame on speaker ("it's a child"), or people chatting loudly ("if it bothers you, go sit elsewhere").

Home ❤️ I grew up with this #Medievalsky church & have seen its use change over time: I've celebrated Carnival here, marvelled at a snake exhibit, and stored my bike there. But its present use is hands down my favorite—celebrating both books & he historical structure within which they are housed 🗃️ 📚

Can I set up camp here while writing my dissertation dealing with craft history? ❤️
5 Classes I took as an undergrad:
1. History of Ideas, Philosophy & Ethics
2. Knowledge and Criticism (History of Science)
3. History of Technology
4. Philosophy of Mind
5. Sociology of Science (independent study)
These were coupled w/ (required) research & writing skills-training classes.

All hail liberal-arts studies, and I'll do the five-classes thing too:
1. Writing for the Theatre
2. Principles of Paleontology
3. Contemporary Africa
4. Literature of Confinement (gulags, camps, cheerful stuff)
5. Organic Chemistry (great teachers, *loved* it)

Oh no! Is there no way of finding out if it is?

Where does the author claim that?

Oh, that sounds like just the thing. I just got this one, which probably isn't light reading (I haven't started yet; still finishing another book), but the New York Times Book Review listed it on their top 5 fiction books of 2025.

Yes, I'd like to read more novels, but when I've been reading all day for my dissertation, I prefer doing something else.

Where do you find the time to read all of this—tell me your secret! I'm lucky if I can ever read all of the literature related to my dissertation 😭

Attends @astrolabe-science.fr vous avez dit "calibre de vis." Je ne sais pas exactement quand ces outils ont été développés pour la 1ère fois. Je n’ai jamais vu un exemple historique (j’en ai un modèle moderne à la maison). @aliceernoult.bsky.social savez-vous de quelle période viennent ces outils ?

Merci David. Voir mes deux réponses :)

Je crois que les deux au milieu sont les calibres de fil, les outils de mesure pour vérifier le diamètre des fils.
Si les autres n’ont pas des filetages femelles, ce sont très probablement des plaques de tirage de fils (ou peut-être pour faire des clous).

Les outils pour faire des vis faudrait des filetages femelles (comme sur la photo ci-jointe); des empreintes; et une poignée pour manier l’outil—qui semblent manquer (bien qu'est difficile à dire d'après votre photo).

Central Park is known for its birds. Especially during migration season when many of them (birds and birders) descend upon the park. They are certainly less timid than I've seen elsewhere, probably because they are used to ppl. But the cardinals don't usually do this. I suspect they were hungry.

Dear history fans, what objects would you like to see in an exhibition on privateering & life at sea in the 18th century? Everyday objects, letters, navigational instruments, or something unexpected? It will also explore forced migration. I’d love to hear your thoughts #earlymodern #maritimehistory
