Dr Vic Clarke

I'm here for it!!

Morning everyone. We are looking for carers/ parents who are artists or academics in arts, social sciences or humanities to take part in our survey. More info here: lncn.ac/care . Reposts and shares appreciated.

Props to him for getting that USP tho

The crossover we need!!!

Seeking amateur magicians willing to go pro

If only! I will, however, find a gluten-free sausage roll for my dad...

My parents and Auntie will be coming from Australia so I am conscious of having a rare opportunity to explain the entire history of the Chartist movement within Leeds

I love this so much and am also not at all surprised! 💖

Happy birthday eve!

We can't afford the cigar stand you guys had so this is the next best option

The professional magician was much more impressive than our amateur option, which is my partner's brother after 5 beers.

I had no idea what the actual name for 'casino lad' was before this skeet!

Projected uptake of 'radical history walking tours' conducted by the bride and groom on their respective areas of scholarly expertise still being debated

Oh this is good to know!! We had no idea that there was so much to actually think about with wedding planning.

Went to two wedding fayres in one day and discovered that it's possible to hire a wedding magician.

Access Clash: two disabled people attempt to enter. One will leave!

How am I supposed to teach essay-writing skills this afternoon instead of watching the news coverage on this??

Love this, Sam!

Tbh I think what Emerald Fennell actually wanted to do was make a porno with historical costuming. I think she should have just done that instead of a half-baked feature-length movie.

If you want to support your local indie cinema, just donate a tenner to them rather than sit through Wuthering Heights for two hours.

A couple of years ago I did a seminar on the advent of the NHS and the first-year students just... didn't realise the scale of maternal and child mortality beforehand! Just zero comprehension of the scale!

A bit of a long shot, but I’m looking to pay someone to photograph some archival documents for me in Amsterdam in the next 6 months. If you know any PhD students based there etc who might be interested pls do send me a message. #historians #paidresearcher

Grimsaw's painting of Boar Lane, Leeds. Warm yellow light spills from the windows of buildings onto a grey street.

Spent this Valentine's day at the John Atkinson Grimshaw show at @leedsartgallery.bsky.social. I'm a sucker for his moonscapes to begin with but loved this exhibition and the relationship he had to the city. Maybe another research project for the never-ending list...
