Lovely surprise this morning to receive an email from an activist who read my recent article on Capenhurst peace camp (doi.org/10.1093/tcbh...) and sent me lots of her personal papers!

Sharing this wonderful letter from the UN Namibia Council, praising the women’s occupation of BNFL in 1985 😍😮

My wonderful partner @alfiesteer.bsky.social has bought me the best and nerdiest Xmas present ever - an original screenprinted Merseyside Women’s Centre poster from the 1970s! Nothing can ever beat this! 🥹

Teaching on nuclear heritage, legacies and material culture tomorrow - got to take the opportunity to include my mum’s iconic ‘Stop Sellafield’ concert t-shirt! 💚

Thinking about clothing + music cultures as resistance; generational activism; sources as living objects; curating nuclear histories etc
