Today I wrote a bit of an article - and watched Barefoot in the Park (1967). Fonda and Redford so incredibly cute in this.

On my way back from Germany - from a #earlymodern mobility history workshop on a very delayed DB train to Amsterdam. Looking forward to crashing on my friend’s couch (at least this hasn’t been a coach or a carriage, rattling on the roads).

An excellent first day of Transient Communities and Spaces of Mobility: Theories, Methods,
and Themes in #EarlyModern Mobilities History (at Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Delmenhorst, July 7-9, 2025). Tbh travelling by trains for 14hrs yesterday was a bit tough but definitely already worth it. 🗃️

Introductions are the trickiest to write…and because of this the most useful. Change my mind.

Btw, has anyone who is local to Boston done a list of restaurants like the legendary Leeds one by @earlymodernjohn.bsky.social over on the other site? #earlymodern

My friend and partner in RSA crime has made a list of 💯 restaurants in Boston and Cambridge. I guess I will be doing a lot of eating. 🥣

Apparently Trump administration does not allow the study of ‘women in society’…. Hufvudstadsbladet reports about them trying to meddle with Fulbright Finland grants….

What an incredible and productive week we have had at the @gladlib.bsky.social ! Loads of annotations achieved, a huge chunk of Introduction drafted. Still loads to do mind, but very happy already about the achievements of the ’eldest daughters editing club’.

Oh British Library I love thee so (especially when things run a bit more smoothly with all the ordering and accessing items, hopefully in the near future I will see more of you).
