The interior of Burntisland Old Parish Church with wooden galleries painted with naval scenes.

Quand vous entendrez que le portrait de ce prince ghanéen peint par Klimt a été retrouvé, vous n'entendrez sûrement pas le nom du dit prince : William Nii Nortey Dowuona, prinxe du peuple Ga, ni ce qu'on sait de son histoire qui s'inscrit dans l'histoire coloniale européenne.

Cover of a book entitled "Gendered Reputations and Aristocratic Partnership: Re-Presenting the Breton Civil War from the Fourteenth to Sixteenth Centuries" by Erika Graham-Goering, published by Arc Humanities Press in the series Gender and Power in the Premodern World. The cover image has a medieval manuscript illustration with a nobleman and noblewoman side-by-side on the left, receiving the salutes of a crowd of fancily-dressed people, all in fifteenth-century fashion.

A present: the scholarly work by the brilliant Erika D. Edwards and yes, I deliberately choose the work done by a Black woman!

"The story is taken from the apocryphal book of Judith. The action takes place in the tent of the Assyrian general Holofernes, which is lit by two candles. The Jewish widow, Judith, and her maidservant, Abra, saved the besieged city of Bethulia by crossing enemy lines and killing the Assyrian leader. Above the entrance to the tent is a hanging in the form of a frieze, with putti and a leopard, symbolising the helplessness of the powerful who give in to love, whilst the precious vessels with wine and fruit pay tribute to Holofernes’s hedonistic lifestyle. The object above the meticulously painted still life on the right is difficult to identify in its present state; it is presumably a piece of armour or a shield. This is the artist’s first depiction of an interior scene using artificial light, in which the violence and drama of the event is enhanced by the strongly localised flickering candlelight and is contrasted with the domesticity of the interior." https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/judith-slaying-holofernes-144155

When I first started working on Mancini, I often read that none of her letters survived. After a lot of archive rummaging (in five different countries!), I managed to find about seventy. The magic of the archives is quite something ✨

Geordi LaForge meme with "not so good" option on top and "brilliant option" on bottom. The options: Top: "Do Not Comply In Advance" X bossy X already a cliche X implies permission to comply later Bottom: "Fuck You, Make Me" ✓leads by example ✓directs yelling at opposition instead of allies ✓easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Threatening clouds above a pewter sea

A tiny Victorian town girdled with frothy and possibly angry surf

The sun setting over fields with the sea in the distance; clouds are gathering, some grey, some brightly gilded

Sun going down on a dark grey sea lapping a black shingle beach

Dear Eilish, may I write to you regarding this? I have someone that needs an archival researcher to do some work in London (1950s era) and would like to put them in touch with you if I may

A white book with a black and white image featuring a coterie of women seated around a table in conversation. The book title reads 'Women and Transnational Cultural Exchange'.

It's wonderful to see advance copies of 'Women and Transnational Cultural Exchange' out in the world. I had a wonderful time editing this book with @breerob-kirk.bsky.social. More news soon on our wonderful contributors! Publication date: 19 February. @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social

If you think this might apply to you but don't know how to find the paper trail, get in touch. I am a skilled archival researcher and I can be hired to find all the details you need.

Another day another press release for an AI grifter posing as news. Thanks to my friend (redacted here) for texting me this new one.
