Reading about the chaos in LA felt overwhelming and it was difficult to keep my fear and frustration in check. It reminded me to take my own advice and I followed the steps set out in my article on how to handle a bad day and I feel tons better. Someone might need this today. bit.ly/3WyFbzG

#BeverleyMinster #Beverley #Yorkshire One of the 68 misericord or mercy seats. For the user to rest on during long church services. Carved in 1520, probably the work of the Ripon School of Carvers. They included comments on #medieval or religious life. #WoodcarvingWednesday #Woodensday

Mega historical bust ups. A thread. 1. King John and Philip of France The powerful foreigner cynically helped put the incompetent, odious sex offender on the throne only to launch an all out war against him. John bankrupted his kingdom, fell out with everyone and shat himself to death
