My pre-event to mark the coming centenary of Princess Irene Duleep Singh’s tragic death by suicide in 1926.

Portrait of Dr Jane Goodall

We are saddened to hear of the death of Dr Jane Goodall, who was awarded an Honorary Degree from Southampton in 2019.

Dr Goodall was a committed conservationist and a world-leading expert on chimpanzees.

Her dedication to her work was inspiring.

A man with short grey hair, wearing a red jacket, sits in a wheelchair among a circle of large stone blocks outdoors looking out. White text over the image reads: “Drawn the Mystery of Stone Circles – A tribute to Phil Chambers and the circles that include us.” The web address accessheritage.substack.com appears at the bottom.

A short tribute to my dad, Phil Chambers — the inspiration behind Access Heritage. His fascination with stone circles echoes in a folklore study I discovered exploring these “spooky stones of folk horror.”

Thanks for sharing this, @profdavidturner.bsky.social — I found his story really moving. Living in a converted mill up North in Calderdale, and the fact my dad was paraplegic and a disability rights activist, it resonated deeply. I hadn’t heard of Dodd before, but I’ll make sure he’s remembered! 🙂

Max Hastings in The Times today does one of the best jobs so far of properly chronicling the USA's breakneck descent into fascism. I don't think a single person will be aware of *all* the evidence. (I know about paywalls & the mixed records of all pundits so please don't feel the need to remind me!)
