@bibliolater@histodon@histodons@science Was excited about this until I saw it was the same article I’d seen from 2021, an absolute age in the incredibly fast-moving world of population genetic. Looking forward to new findings!
Thanks to all of you who said me modeling the jewellery is a good way to go. Many of you made me smile a lot :) so this is me taking your advice!

Interesting #news values on the #BBC site just now- a performance at #pop#festival is apparently more important to us than how the #UK government responds to the #crisis in nuclear armed #Russia. And a bit further down, another performance at the same festival is more newsworthy than policy developments in the #SNP, a party seeking the breakup of the UK. I don't know who pockets the profits at #Glastonbury, but they must pay their #PR bods plenty to get this stuff reported as "news"
"This article outlines a chronology for understanding the cultural importance in Britain of this voyage, from the New England chroniclers to the postcolonial critiques of historians today. In between, it offers a thematic analysis of the different groups which could use the story in their construction of morality and identity, from Romanticists and abolitionists to Anglo-American diplomats and civic boosters."
"The Uncomfortable Oxford, the tour that tells the dark side of the University" by María Ramírez (eldiario.es; Spanish)
"The tours have been so successful that the group started with one, but now offers several in Oxford, Cambridge and York as well as lectures and other courses. In pandemic, the tours continued virtually, and now the not-for-profit enterprise is sustainable.
Durand comments that the success of his tours reveals "a clear appetite for complex and nuanced discussions of the past and cultural heritage." He believes that history education, heritage and tourism are three sectors that can be brought together in the public space in a fruitful way".
The #UK government are still trying to get people onto the #BibbyStockholm barge. It is a depraved policy. It should also fail. Here is why:
Anyone with really poor mental or physical health can't be housed on the boat. It is unlawful and can be challenged in court, if activists and lawyers work together.
Anyone who could lawfully be transferred to the floating hell hole would be capable of living in some decent human being's spare room. We already have the infrastructure to make that happen, particularly https://www.roomforrefugees.com/ .
If we think practically the government's cruelty can be made unworkable
Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain
A study of the conditions of being a citizen, belonging and democracy in suburban Britain, this book focuses on understanding how a community takes on the social responsibility and pressures of being a good citizen through what they call ‘stupid’ events, festivals and parades.
