Dear Keir. A lot of people fought long and hard to rid this country of those disingenuous, despicable Tories which enabled you to get a landslide victory and show what proper leadership was all about. You’ve not exactly come up trumps (👀) so far… but now’s your big moment. Stand the fuck up!

Attention #Egyptologists, this books looks fascinating. I had no idea the Egyptians reused ancient coffins to 'enhance their chances of posthumous deification.' the-past.com/review/books...

Every day's a school day! Interesting article below about Fisk coffins: form fitting, airtight and made from cast iron (you may need a paywall remover). @chriswoodyard.bsky.social explores these more in her excellent book, A Is For Arsenic, An ABC of Victorian Death. cdispatch.com/news/caskets...
