Always enjoy the reactions of children when they encounter this list of rules for teachers from a 1915 magazine.

On our last full day in Boston, I knew I wanted to check at least one more item off of my Atlas Obscura list- the Houdini plaque on Harvard bridge. On a blustery and sunny morning surrounded by joggers, families, and tourists, I nearly missed it!

Still thinking about yesterday morning’s panel, ‘What’s Next for Witchcraft Studies?’ at #renSA2025

Been enjoying perusing W1711.org- quite inspired by @drandrewsneddon.bsky.social !

Enjoyed a peaceful afternoon wandering around Boston’s Central Burying Ground. Some really incredible iconography on the stones- particularly fascinated by the death’s head/ winged skull.

Plenty to ponder on this #worldpoetryday after a fascinating #RSA2025 panel on Female Anatomists in Renaissance Italy this morning!
