Martin Durham, in a rediscovered talk given to History Workshop in 1983, and Daniel Jones (@narson.bsky.social) on the continued resonance of these insights in today's world.

Why are women drawn to fascist ideologies and movements? The timely rediscovery of Martin Durham's talk - given to History Workshop in 1983, looking back to the 1930s - speaks to pressing questions today.

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯
Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke...
