My first-ever post to mark the first-ever day of Harewood House's Austen and Turner exhibition! It was privilege to work alongside Harewood's curators and some superb people from @cecs-york.bsky.social. RUN DO NOT WALK to see the "Sanditon" manuscript in Yorkshire this summer. #c18th #Austen250

Exactly 200 years ago today a sperm whale washed up on the Yorkshire Coast. It ended up at Burton Constable Hall Nr Hull, where it can still be seen. Herman Melville saw the dissection report and that’s how it ended up being mentioned in #MobyDick #MelvilleMonday.

I like how the CIA deputy director's son getting killed fighting for Russia because he loved Lord of the Rings is like the 7th most outlandish story of the week

If you're having a difficult day, have a read through of this article on the urgent question of whether the Bayeux Tapestry has 93 or 94 penises. And people say history is boring. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Another fab view from Hull Maritime Museum. New access to one of the turrets - you can see into the Gents in Victoria Square!

Brilliant tour of the Hull Maritime Museum this afternoon. So many great new spaces, but the Court Room is stunning. The details now revealed in the ceiling alone were worth the long drive!

Popped into @thedeephull.bsky.social to avoid the drizzle three days before my annual pass expires to see the fish! (Though it is great to see so many people of all ages enjoying the marine life!)

Recently realised that the Dennis Stanton character from #MurderSheWrote was in fact dum dum duuuuuuum Captain Beaky. And now I can’t get that sodding tune out of my head.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

“We would be worse than we are without the good books we have read, more conformist, not as restless, more submissive, and the critical spirit, the engine of progress, would not even exist. Like writing, reading is a protest against the insufficiencies of life.” Mario Vargas Llosa 1936-2025
