- Reposted by Becca PalmerToday people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them. This is getting very dark, very quick.
- What an amazing conference! Really enjoyed my first BrANCH/BGEAH conference and meeting so many wonderful researchers. Watch this space for more stuff on conspiracy!!
- Will be at the BGEAH/BrANCH annual conference this weekend in Cardiff if anyone else is there and wants to get coffee! Will be presenting on conspiracy and local politics on Sunday 🥳

- Had a great time @mhs1791.bsky.social yesterday examining the MA Baptist Church’s origins. Such an amazing archive that I’ve had to book another appointment! James Winchell’s 1820 history includes a familiar echo of the ongoing complex relationship with the founders at the top of the page…

- What a fantastic conference! It was an honour to present among such distinguished speakers.
- Last chance to apply!
- Reading a newspaper from Boston in 1773, where a man is advertising his goods. He argues that people might be averse to him because he is a “Stranger” to the continent, but “if this be a Crime, the Blood of every American is yet tainted with Guilt.” Seems very fitting in these current times!
- Consider applying to this great conference. MA, PhD & Early Career scholars - we’d love to hear from you!
- What a fantastic conference! Really appreciated the chance to share my research with such a welcoming and informed group of people. Plus, I loved spending a few days visiting Edinburgh and seeing the sights! (Cue serious photo…)
