Me - fending off all meeting requests and emails until 2025
A Little Owl perches on a branch, one talon raised defensively mid-air as if swiping at something unseen. Its wings are spread wide in a flurry of spotted feathers, and its sharp yellow eyes glare with fierce determination—ready to bat away any incoming intrusions. The pose perfectly embodies the fight to keep work at bay... a small but mighty force holding its ground.

One of my favourite events in @arnosvalecemetery.bsky.social a beautiful and fascinating carol concert by the fantastic Bristol Chamber Concert in the Anglican Chapel. Perfect venue and the best way to really start Christmas off

Many many thanks to @arnosvalecemetery.bsky.social and @thejanine.bsky.social for a wonderful session yesterday on Victorian mourning terms and traditions.
An inspiration to write more about transatlantic differences in death/mourning/funeral practices. #TheVictorianBookoftheDead

There's lots of buzz about scientists on #bluesky! Don't forget to make room for the medical and science historians, too! Here's my #starterpack of some awesome people (and institutes). From medieval astrolabes to Victorian corsets, radium soap, and beyond! I got you covered.
