This is my Joyce Butler 5 point plan: 1) did you know Joyce Butler or her husband Vic Butler? 2) were you involved in Labour politics (Haringey, London, National) before 1980? 3) do you know any community groups who would have an interest in the project or would like a talk?

Going to see midsummer nights dream tonight, my family have offered me £10 if I stand up and shout ‘my name is, my name is, my name is’; £20 if anyone around me responds ‘Charles the Second’ and £100 if Matthew Baynton then completes the song.

I’m naive enough to be surprised that Lisa Nandy is against the boycott of the match against Afghanistan. Isn’t this like the least, the absolute least, that could be done? www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

So after this article came out I was really cross with myself because there’s an obvious mistake (to me anyway, maybe less so to others) & so I didn’t want to talk about it, but I have stopped hating myself quite so much now, and maybe it will be useful for someone www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

hi I’m a history and I’m looking for a new topic to specialise in, preferably one I don’t type wrong every single time like feminity, borgeois and Britian

Well it seems nice here so far - glad to see the colleagues I like and admire without wading through the racism and shouting.
