My sister doesn't know a lot about history, I have two history degrees and love talking about it. So occasionally I get completely out of the blue texts like this gem
ALT A text conversation. On the left my sister asks "define medieval. Like from when to when" I reply "900-1450 approx" She asks "then what" I reply "early modern, say 1500-1800" She asks "why. What changed" I reply "okay"

What an interesting day to have a master's degree in the history of the 20th century

I hope @pridecanterbury considers this for next year. The party of Wes Streeting, and the people who campaigned for Rosie Duffield, shouldn't be allowed to march next us.

For clarity, this is old parade footage. Until Labour commits to standing up for our entire community, they will not be welcome to march. Our ban on political parties marches remains in place this year.

Every week, women are murdered in their own homes by a partner or ex-partner. It’s never random, it never comes out of the blue, it’s a systemic public health problem that the media plays a key role in preventing.

Here’s a reminder to all journalists on how NOT to report fatal domestic abuse. Please share.
1. Avoid cliches like “jilted lover” that reinforce a romantic narrative.
2. Avoid speculative reasons or “triggers” for a murder that are based on a woman’s behaviour.

To our trans and non binary siblings, especially those who share this city & town, these villages we love, please remember there are more of us than there are terfs, and that more people voted for trans inclusive candidates here than for Duffield.

Despite the complicated feelings I have about the election outcome, I am THRILLED to hear that Adam Holloway, conservative MP for my hometown of Gravesham has not been reelected

My mum was beside herself with no way of managing this as police said he had every right because he was within a range of his own property. She contacted our MP, who came round and listened to the situation and said he'd help

Then, Adam Holloway went next door for a cuppa with our neighbour, because they played bowls together. The harassment carried on for years until the neighbour passed away.

"Giving voice to the voiceless" needs to be rephrased as "listening to those who have historically been silenced."

A week ago Nigel Farage said one of his volunteers, George Jones, would play no further part in Reform's campaign after he was filmed calling the pride flag “degenerate” and comparing LGBT people to paedophiles.
Here he is tonight at Reform UK's election party in Clacton.

Kent has been named as a hotspot for homophobic and transphobic hate crime.
We need an MP that represents the LGBTQ community and will tackle this insidiousness, not help to fuel it with their gender critical rhetoric.
