300 hektar registrerade nyckelbiotoper huggs ner varje år - motsvarande åtta Gamla stan i Stockholm. Det är som om vi bestämt oss för att en gång för alla förstöra naturen runt oss. Vi lämnar en förödd planet efter oss. Bara för att tjäna pengar.

Behöver tips på en ny serie vi kan se tillsammans hela familjen (barnen är
13-15).
- manus och skådisar - inget reality
- inte mycket naket - GoT går bort
- ska finnas bra kvinnoroller
- vi gillar: Stranger Things, Andor, Mandalorian och annat Star Wars, Sagan om ringen, Wednesday, Studio Ghibli

The Bibliographical Society of America is participating in a social media campaign with ACLS this week, and we invite you to join in! The message is simple and proactive: we need more humanities and social sciences scholars and research.

It's time for some crowdsourced #earlymodern #palaeography. Please tell me what you think this says, bearing in mind that it's almost certainly the name of someone French, c. mid-17th century. Apologies for not amazing image quality.

Congrats Morgan!

Front cover of a book - the image in the top half appears to be an embroidery of 6 human figures in an outdoor scene at night, with trees.

I am happy that this book is now published (in the series Connected Histories in the Early Modern World)!

I'm writing about Frost Fairs and keep seeing claims that Elizabeth I played archery on the frozen Thames, but can't find source besides Holinshed who says in 1587 'diuerse of the court being then at Westminster, shot dailie at pricks set vpon the Thames'. Is there another source?

A printed image from 1697: a garden, with angels doing the gardening, a saint overlooking the activities. In the front are small plants with images of Popes, and on the left and right are two trees with lots of Popes' images.

And here is an impression of two grown Pope trees in a setting with smaller Pope plants, in a garden watered by angels, and supervised by a few Saints. The Pope plants and trees are easy to grow, do not fall for Protestant propaganda claiming otherwise!
