An excellent reminder that pesky health and safety regulations evolved from a long history of suffering and death.
This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948. An air inversion trapped the pollution spewed out by U.S. Steel-owned factories in Donora, Pennsylvania. The Donora Fog killed 20 people and sickened 6000 others. Let's talk about this deadly legacy of industrial pollution. That photo was taken at noon!

Imagine the system that creates a man of such astounding racism, ignorance and dishonesty, and allows him to rise to such a position of power. He is bullshit in human form.

100% this - had a bit of this years ago when my dad died. I remember Lloyds bank saying we had to convert his bank account into a “club or society” account for some reason. I’m sure this is only going to get worse as AI replaces humans at the interface.
“I'm sure nobody's doing this intentionally...but these companies could just get their bereavement services at a level that is not going to cause undue distress” “There should be a standardised practice” Quite! I’d add an efficient probate service too! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Prince Maurice's grave is interesting, because it was a good example of the conflicting thoughts families had. Princess Beatrice refused repatriation of the body. She felt he belonged with his men. But she fought for years for the right to spend her own money on a custom headstone. This was blocked
Remembering Prince Maurice of Battenberg, the youngest grandchild of Queen Victoria, who was killed in action on this day in 1914, aged just 23. In December 1918, his cousin, King George V, visited his grave to pay his respects. 📍 Ypres Town Cemetery 🇧🇪

Shout if you're a historian potentially interested in coming on for this one. i want to cover the discussions on repatriation, changes to headstones and Anglican ritual, and post-war grave tourism and grave photography services. @caitlindeangelis.bsky.social your wheelhouse maybe?
i really want to do a pod episode on the emotional mechanics of post-war rememberance. the logistics and architecture are both fascinating, but we don't talk enough about its impact on both national and personal approaches to grief.

It's that special time of year when they give the danger-kitties pumpkins to play with at The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, Minnesota. A much-needed timeline cleanse. 🐯🎃 (📷: wildcatsanctuary.org)

Those wonderful people from @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social have done it again, with this wonderful book from Simon Crump. Compassionate without being sentimental, funny af (I genuinely laughed out loud several times) and compelling. Simple story telling done ever so well. Chapeau.

Planting a tree means nothing if it dies a week later. Local authority tree planting is down 45%, and the trees we do plant are heavily imported, bringing biosecurity risks with them. @nationaltrust.org.uk #EcoSky #TreePlanting #GrownInBritain
