Cannabis is safer than the Catholic Church.
This'll surely get me blocked... but the more I looked & thought about it before posting... I think so. Sinéad was right.

#BIFHSGO conference begins tomorrow. The topic is research into ancestors affected by poor laws, #workhouses and pauperism. Most people have this in their background somewhere, so it's a great thing to learn about. #genealogy #geneadons

8 August 1834: The Poor Law Amendment Act was passed by Parliament. #History #PoorLaw

The 1834 Poor Law was designed to reduce the cost of looking after the poor by ensuring that paupers were housed in #workhouses.

Illustration of a workhouse casual ward. A blue banner with white writing cuts across it saying 'Labour Stories - The St Marylebone Workhouse'. Below this it says 'Heritage' and 'St Marylebone Festival'. 2 July 2025, 18:30 - 19:30 Lecture Series: Labour Stories - The St Marylebone Workhouse £5.00
Got invited to speak about #workhouses for the St Marylebone Festival. I'm supplying the archival research and Marylebone are supplying the gruel, made from a recipe in @thelondonarchives.bsky.social collections - at least you won't need a dinner reservation.

Thank you @tlrhub.bsky.social and NearFMfor inviting me to speak on medical relief and death in the post-Famine Dublin #workhouses. It was a great conversation & I enjoyed hearing about the audience’s family history. The recording will be released on 29 May #irishhistory #histmed

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1889 #CharlesChaplin was born into poverty in south London. Remembering his childhood in Victorian #workhouses, he stood against #capitalism, #militarism, and #racism throughout his life and in his films, some of which remain among the greatest ever made.

At school I studied the Victorian solution to "too many poor people" - the Poor Laws, which ushered in the #Workhouses & fostered views of Deserving Poor & Undeserving Poor.

When I was a kid, our family were itinerant farm workers. The camps we stayed in would distribute food, but we had to go to the local church for Sunday school and the weekly sermon. The denial of food as a mechanism for Christian adherence is just plain blackmail. #poorhouses #workhouses

To prepare for writing a #phd chapter, I do a lot of data entry and analysis. This is just a small sample of what I am currently building for my chapter on old age in #asylums and #workhouses.
