Great experience attending the Beyond Black History Month Symposium at @ljmuofficial.bsky.social. Insightful listening to @davidolusoga.bsky.social speak on Black British History from the Tudors to Trafalgar. #history

Managed to pick up some historical literature all for less than £10!
Particularly looking forward to reading Stowe while researching Victorian anti-slavery.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Using the summer break to catch up on some reading. Extending my reading into some long eighteenth century stuff.
Both interesting reads, but I think I’m still in the long nineteenth century camp.

Quite concerning that Waterstones now has an “alternative history” section, with books on 9/11 conspiracies and ancient aliens.
Pseudoscience/history can be dangerous and should not be promoted nor legitimised.

Map dated 1858 showing the extent of the Asante Empire and British possessions in West Africa. Interestingly many British forts are simply underlined red, showing the lack of British influence and jurisdiction outside of its 'Bridgeheads' (John Darwin, 2013, p.8-9). #History

A successful initial escapade into gardening. Nicotiana Alata (I think) grown over the course of a year.

Following the Battle of Waterloo, towards the end of June, Captain Jonathan Leach of the 1st Battalion 95th Rifles, while stationed at St. Denis noted in his journal a ‘curious dialogue’ between soldiers of his division. It provides an interesting window into the variety of Wellingtons force.

That petition for a new general election is absurd. The same democratic mandate which led to Brexit must now be observed by those throwing their toys out the pram at a Labour Government
