The joy of juxtaposition in footnotes: The Smiths and Poly Styrene on the same page! Makes 4 years of PhD research all worthwhile.
a photo of a footnote from my phd dissertation which includes poly styrene and also the smiths.

Fascinating insights into health and sex education as interpreted by a year 4 pupil in 1989. #sexeducation #HIV #AIDS #teachers #dont_eat_crisps_with_gin
If you live in a place where there are millions of people and you keep on having discos and you always get drunk and eat a lot of fat and crisps, then you drink gin and orange juice and all that type of stuff and you - um - and they have drugs and they get drugs off people and smuggle them like in aeroplanes and you can disguise them quite easily and - um - if you get and they stole the needles, they shared them, and when they put them away, they wouldn't put them in holders with boiling water to sterilise them, they just put them in say a dirty old cupboard, something like that, and also if you don't sterilise, if you share needles and something's happened (giggle) and you can if you share a needle you'll get AIDS from them, and then it carries on spreading and spreading and spreading.

Here's a fun game to play of Spot the Difference with the April vs September 1986 versions of the ILEA Positive Images guide from 1986. Before and after public outrage. The covers alone tells a story. #PositiveImages #Section28 #ILEA
Two images of the cover of the ILEA Positive Images resource guide side by side. The April 1986 version mentions 'for use in the library and classroom' whereas the September 1986 version states 'for use by teachers and librarians'.
