Does anyone know why you wouldn't be able to make rope while the sun was shining in 18th century England? This is not the setup to a punchline, I'm truly curious 😅

1) I'm definitely judging this book by its cover and 2) it's making me want to read it

We just released a two-parter on #retinoids on @tpwky.bsky.social, which gives me a chance to shout out the excellent book Acres of Skin by Allen Hornblum, which exposes the unethical experiments conducted at Holmesburg Prison.

Any similar books you'd recommend?
