If you’re in and around Newcastle, please do make the trip down to the Northumbria pickets. When you’re stood on a picket you get people wandering past saying you should die etc, so every friendly face is appreciated by picketing people.

Northumbria University plans to freeze our pay unless we agree to leave TPS and leave national collective bargaining, striking is never easy (thisll be my third in 6 years) but this one was the simplist choice a clear cut in our employment terms and threat to our rights as union members

The 7/8th c. Vita Wilfridi references a place called 'regione Dunutinga' in reference to land beyond Northumbria
Maclaren-Walker (2022) suggests this is a polity centred on Whernside, and Johnson has argued otherwise for Sedbergh or the Howgill Fells, and also Ingleborough

Not to be confused with the Scottish selkies. Many a silky disappeared over time, with the particularly well known silky who haunted Black Heddon supposedly disappearing after the discovery of her hidden treasure, a sack of gold.
![[Top Section] Silky; Region: Northumberland, England
[Middle Section] A black-haired woman in burgundy silken dress. Accompanied by descriptive text.
A fairy or ghost who once haunted parts of Northumbria, named for the sound of her silken dresses.
A night she would spook travelers by suddenly appearing on the road, taking a seat just behind them (her silk rustling all the while), then disappearing just as suddenly some time during the ride.
Could control the behaviour of horses, stopping and starting them with hardly a word.
Would sometimes dwell in a house, performing housework similar to a hob, although when anyone took initiative to tidy up themself she would cause a great mess in response.
[Bottom Section] Some depictions in popular culture: The Ancient Magus' Bride (2013 - Present); Megami Tensei Franchise (2009 - Present)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tsfvgiiehbannefovmdxxk5s/bafkreiaw5ip7ml4lq6m6jq7dq2xweoiwjsqc4qau5xfw5c3wmavguyquxi@jpeg)
