You want to know how we fight back? Like the anonymous legend at HUD. One act of trolling at a time.

I have made every effort to avoid bs news but I can’t change my Home Screen at work. @dailyexpressnews.bsky.social want to explain the rationale behind this fear mongering?

@gmb.org.uk no mention of the unions pay increase rejection for Peterborough city employees in your feed?

Today’s Find: A number of doctors & nurses are buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia tinyurl.com/yz6dufcs This stone is for Jane Delano, founder of the American Red Cross Nursing Service tinyurl.com/3dt539pz #histmed #histnursing

This should be an interesting history talk. Please share. We’re hoping to fill the space. #history #medicalhistory #archives #peterborough #thefens

tRump attending the #superbowl2025 is just him pretending that the crowd is there for him. #boohim

Anyone else laugh hysterically at the news of a possible deadly asteroid? Just me? If we’re going to be in this movie I prefer Deep Impact

Hey fellow Americans read this book. The resistance started Monday and you’re already falling behind. There won’t be a sign at the point of no return, but you’ll know when it’s been crossed. Don’t go that far! Please!

It’s a great read. I learned so much about Mary Stanley. Check it out.

Fun cheat code. Americans should live in a country other than the USA because I legit didnt even remember that Payless Putin was sworn in today. And then I find out he did it inside like a coward. These next four years are all going to happen behind closed doors

My husband and I were re-organising my ‘doctorate dungeon’ (windowless room in our finished basement as seen in this Lego version my daughter made) and he asked why there were so many toilet paper rolls. I said ‘for all the crying’ last 6 months of writing up was 100 words then tears and repeat

I am cataloging the neatest collection of journals and diaries from 1940-2000. She wrote pages each day, sometimes on the backs on of other papers (book drafts and things). It’s like a 2 for 1 deal. #archives #history #socialhistory

Call for papers. Academics, nurses, and historians in all phases of education are welcome #histnursing

Many of the articles in our latest journal started out as presentations at our annual research colloquium. The call for abstracts is right around the corner for our 2025 colloquium. In the mean time get inspired with these #histnursing articles. bulletin.ukahn.org/vol-11-1-2023/

So I just learned that AI consumes massive amounts of energy. If you do a ChatGPT search vs a general google search it consumes 5-10 x more energy. Poilievre’s plan is to decimate Canada’s natural resources for the tech billionaires.

Why are people still addressing emails to unknown recipients ‘Dear Sirs’? I wanted to reply ‘Dear Llamas’ because that’s just a ridiculous. A simple ‘hello’ works, or, if you’re feeling fancy, ‘to whom it may concern’

Please spread the word #WW1 #milwelfhist @learnshaw.bsky.social @nursinghistory.bsky.social @defenceresnet.bsky.social @ww1nursehistorian.bsky.social @rebeccawynter.bsky.social @julesmrobertsf1.bsky.social @drmichaelreeve.bsky.social @evanpsullivan.bsky.social @mhptpodcast.bsky.social

Will the customer booked into the #archives for today appear? I’ll keep you posted? #localhistory

@andrewpakes.bsky.social Keep the pressure on because the last time they did this it was a mess

Peterborough City Council plans to ‘mothball’ the Lido…I guess they forgot what happened to the last one. It turned into an eyesore and wasteland

Peterborough council wants to close 7 in their suggested budget. They’re still on the other platform…

I’m always happy to be a web guru a few times a year. Check out these great articles! #histnursing

My first research board for work. I put together some facts on the district of Boongate the oldest domestic area of the city, situated next to the original monastic site which is where the cathedral is now. I’ve provided info on the original documents we have in the #archives all about Boongate.

‘The History of the Church of Peterborough’ by Simon Gunton 1686. Just some light reading from our #localstudies #library in the #archives Hoping to learn when it’s stopped being a minster and became a cathedral

The weirder the monster, the better. And Kallikantzaros are pretty high up there. Take a look (and help me make my Greek mother-in-law proud). youtu.be/kYCjxLK_gkg?...

For the sake of everyone cataloging in an archive please invest in paper clips. Thank you #archives #preservation
