Can’t wait to swing by the new community bookshop down in Leith. Just a stones throw from me 😻 hope it might be a great alternative to stressful book shopping in Stockbridge 😅 Argonaut Books Isn’t On This Platform Anymore

Bist du ein Berliner? If I were to stage a fashion exhibition in Berlin, which museum should it go to? So many amazing museums but who does fashion best?

As has now been reported in several news outlets, my archival research with the Bank of England has informed the development of a new museum exhibition Bank of England Museum, titled 'Slavery & the Bank'. (1/4) theguardian.com/world/2022/apr…

Artist Christian Friedrich Mayr painted this scene in 1838. It depicts partygoers who were enslaved to families who vacationed in White Sulphur, a fashionable summer resort in West Virginia... instagram.com/p/CcfejyALuVg/

I think it’s easier to make a FOH person a GREAT curator, than it is to make a #curator a PASSABLE FOH person. So why are VS still continually under appreciated and under paid? #museums are broken, and a scale copy of wider societal issues, where the middle class thrive unfairly

This article on bog restoration is surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) related to the fashion industry and histories of enslavement. Ever wondered why the Scottish peatlands are devoid of people? nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Dissertation update ✨when your tired old body starts creaking and you physically can’t sit down at your desk for a second longer, clear out a shelf in your bookcase!

Let’s not forget the massive contributions the textile industry had to the Labor movement. Last year, I did a #threadtalk on just that. Not for the faint of heart.
