Leaving excel filters on to isolate your bits on a shared departmental spreadsheet is the equivalent of leaving the toilet seat up at a friend's house.

If someone’s just been made redundant, messaging “solidarity” at them is about the least useful thing you can do.

I can’t recommend the British Food History Podcast enough. If you love food then Neil’s the host for you

Donald McRaild, a great historian of migration has passed away. I’ve written that name so many times in my footnotes. 🕊️ www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Despite appearances here, I’m actually fairly tall…

I love Neil’s podcast. If you like both food and history it’s fantastic and warm listening

Remember The British Food History Podcast is now available on YouTube! Including the most recent episode, Feeding the Georgian Kings with @adamcrymble.bsky.social & Rachel Rich. youtu.be/c19r72VTJds?...

My review of 'Tudor Networks of Power' by @ruthahnert.bsky.social and @sebastianahnert.bsky.social is now out in the Journal of British Studies. A really interesting work for those interested in the 'how' of historical research. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

So pleased to see this @neilbuttery.bsky.social interview with my amazing co-authors Rachel Rich & @adamcrymble.bsky.social talking about our new book The King's Dinner! cc @uclpress.bsky.social @sarahfoxhistory.bsky.social

It was such a pleasure speaking with Neil. What a wonderful host of a great podcast. I hope you'll have a listen and if you're able, that you'll support the podcast.

what I'm learning from social media, is that people addicted to social media are posting on social media that they don't like a proposed ban on social media for young people. As a parent, I think this is fantastic news. Even if it doesn't work for everyone's circumstances, these spaces are toxic.

It’s invisible to most people in the UK, but any TikTok post that’s remotely political is flooded in the comments with bots saying variations of “vote reform”. And that’s just got to be swaying young people who haven’t got party loyalties or who don’t consume mainstream media.

Very much looking forward to Dan Gosling (TNA) speaking on 'A Question of Sex? Assessing Lord Mansfield’s “judgment” on the sex of the Chevalier d’Eon' this Wed. @long18thsem.bsky.social @ihrlibrary.bsky.social All welcome online or in person, but please register: www.history.ac.uk/news-events/...

Box for Broadcasts is supposed to have everything that was on TV isn't it? Year upon year I end up having to drop clips because they disappear from what I thought was an archive.

I am very honoured to be working with Jin to lead such a brilliant DH centre. We're already busy behind the scenes making plans for a great year for #DH!
