The Servandus curse tablet was found the Vine Street townhouse in Leicester. It records the theft of the loak of the slave called Servundus from the slave quarters. He curses in the name of a Celtic god Maglus. Now in the Jewry Wall Roman Experience. #EpigraphyTuesday

So Roland Weissmann, the ORF director who was all besties with the heads of KAN and the Israeli president back in November is resigning due to the allegations by an employee. He basically got MeToo-d.

The Blackfriars Pavement in the Jewry Wall Roman Experience. It was originally found in 1832. The Great Central Railway built a tiled chamber beneath the station where it was found. Interested observers could view the mosaic from above through a prismatic glass floor. Moved in 1970s. #MosaicMonday

The people who told us austerity was crucial, Brexit would be brilliant, Boris Johnsonโ€™s amazing and Liz Truss is an economic genius, are now insisting the country should join an illegal war

Unforgettable In spring 2026, the MSK offers the chance to discover the fascinating works created by women artists in the Low Countries.

These are two of around 150 paintings by 40 female artists who may have been forgotten or overlooked which are to be displayed at this exhibition at the Ghent Museum of Fine Arts. It looks worth the trip!

Vast scale of overseas human remains held in UK museums decried by MPs and experts Exclusive: Guardian study finds UK museums hold more than 260,000 items of remains, often in sacrilegious ways

'...exposed UK museums and universities as โ€œimperial charnel houses where the bones of Indigenous peoples torn from Britainโ€™s empire in the past, with little or no regard to the spiritual sensibilities of its people, continue to be retained to this day in circumstances that beggar beliefโ€.'

We are looking at a black and white photo of a woman in a long skirt, waist length jacket with a big hat and fur stole around her neck. She is standing on a set of stairs to the Hall.

We are looking at a woman with white bobbed hair wearing a red robe with faux fur lining. She is wearing a jewel of office around her neck. She is sitting in an old oak chair in the Great Hall.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

It won't come as a surprise to you, that the Merchant Adventurers were mostly male, however women did play an active role in the Company. In other words; they kicked ass.

Here below is a shorter than it should be thread of these very cool women:

This cruel change, which deliberately keeps peopleโ€™s lives in limbo, will not deter men, women, children & families fleeing war, conflict & persecution from seeking protection in the UK.

What it WILL do is trap people in a constant state of instability & profoundly harm their mental health.

The true success of the song should be measured on the relative sales of Pepperoni Pizza over the next 2 months. ๐Ÿ˜
