This reminds me of one of my favourite flow charts:

A flowchart asking how to tell if a toy is for a boy or a girl. A turquoise circle asking 'Do you operate the toy with your genitalia?' Arrow to 'Yes'; arrow to pink circle saying 'This toy is not for children'. Arrow to 'No'; arrow to pink circle saying 'This toy is for any child'. Copyright @sonshinemagazine

You have to wait for the final verse for the payoff, but I’ll go with Dar Williams’ Southern California Wants To Be Western New York.

A truely great historian of popular culture and the cultural history of war. What a loss!

Taking some time while on holiday to write a long-overdue review of a couple of enjoyable books.

Heads of department rather than deans, to extend the analogy.

Deeply unfair to RSMs! That sort of petty behaviour was the hallmark of colonels. 😂

Wishing you all strength.

Today's random bit of research has involved looking up the Dentists' Act of 1921, although I am still not clear why ex-service Clause (3(5)) should have been viewed as particularly detrimental by ex-servicemen. #ww1 #fww #histmed #TheReturnoftheSoldier

The article from hell has won. I have emailed the editor to say I cannot write it, despite my best efforts. The relief (and the energy it has given me for writing the next chapter of #TheReturnoftheSoldier) is enormous. #aclife #acwri #amnotwriting (at least not that article).

@thehistorygirl1.bsky.socialJul 28, 2026, 4:08 PM

Thank you!

@thehistorygirl1.bsky.socialJul 28, 2026, 4:06 PM

New approach to the article from hell has failed. On to attempt number 5... #acwri #amwriting #badly

The man involved served as a non com, so it wasn’t his, but given to him by an officer he knew in France then brought back when he was demobbed in 1920.
