I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

Today is the 145th deathday of Rufus the guinea pig, one of Anna Kingsford's animal companions. In my thesis, I argue that her grief over his death contributed to her growing turn towards an esoteric mysticism and her belief in the immortality of animal souls.

Fig. 1 illustrates a novel approach to research supervision focussed on practical space-based methodologies in history, drawing on insights from peripatetic philosophy.
Sadly, @peteryeandle.bsky.social, @danielbreeze.com, and I won’t win awards, as it just looks like some guys on a hike.

Good find this morning in Bakewell at Hawkridge Books. It's funny, the owner said, sometimes you have books for years and sometimes you only have them for a week. He had only had this one for a week. I told him I was writing about Carpenter in my PhD. Best of luck, he said.
