Thank you.

Hello, is your wood private land or is it open to the public please? Thank you.

This was such a great read, really recommend - congratulations @charmianmansell.bsky.social

This looks wonderful - so looking forward to seeing it and hope you are really proud of it @gillianmurphy.bsky.social

Never on social media any more sorry, always feel rude when I pop back in.

Looking forward to this event on Thursday - we are lucky to have both @nataliethomlinson.bsky.social and three women who set up and ran the project talking about their experiences. Doors open 6.30 and event begins 7.30.

Just spotted the headline calls her ‘young’ which might be comforting for those of us over 40, but does speak to a preconception about suffragettes…

History's Heroes - History's Toughest Heroes - Constance Bulwer-Lytton: Suffragette Rebel - BBC Sounds A young suffragette, hiding a secret, goes on hunger strike.

We're planning an exhibition to mark the centenary of The Women's Library next year. We'd like to feature collections and research that people are working on currently. Please get in touch and let us know.

Writing feverish fan fiction about Lena Jeger is 100% how I spend my time

What do people do with open access article licensing in the era of AI? I usually pick CC BY NC ND but this now allows for ‘text and data mining or your works’ which I don’t want. Is this… too bad for me? Or are there alternatives I should choose?

Closing this week - but if you are worried about books not arriving on time, just email me!

Chris Woakes sees Lucy Bronze and raises her….

Not wholly sure this is healthy.

Unexpected consequence of euros is that Lucy Bronze is now my internal comparator. If I think ‘I can’t be bothered to go for a run’ she pops up in my brain to say ‘I played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia’. ‘I can’t be bothered to do that bit of work’.’WHOLE TOURNAMENT. FRACTURED TIBIA.’
