I perform small acts of kindness for my family and friends, but they feel like things I couldn’t not do. But yesterday I had a chance to perform a small act of kindness for somebody I don’t know. richardswsmith.wordpress.com/2023/01/24/goo…

Interested in #Edinburgh women's history? A statue is being proposed to the memory of Elsie Inglis on the High St. This lacks artistic merit, excludes female artists, misrepresents Dr Inglis' legacy & disregards the context of the site. We need your help so pls read this 🧵 👇

Science and Technology 1989 …I changed publishers when told that adding non-UK authors would increase the sale. Science is about truth not sale. Worldwide, our work has been well received.

Janet McCallum was a mill worker & suffragette jailed for storming Westminster. Like most working class suffragettes, her sacrifice has gone unrecognised. Now some Fife schoolgirls are campaigning to change that. My news feature for The Herald heraldscotland.com/news/25028933.…

At around 1630 today on 26 April 1937, the Nazi Condor Legion with never admitted support of General Franco began its murderous destruction of the Basque town of Gernika. This is a cutting from The Times of the famous article by George Steer denouncing the atrocity the next day

When a WW2 bunker was discovered in Germany recently, they found bottles of the original Fanta down there. The drink was not only widely available in Nazi Germany, it was invented there. A peculiar bit of economic history in ZEITGEIST 👇 katjahoyer.uk/p/fanta-and-na…

American nurse Salaria Kea was rejected as a flood relief volunteer in the US MidWest in 1936 because she was black. Not an issue in Republican Spain. Here she is working at Villa Paz. IB Hospital, Saelices SE of Madrid, where she was head nurse over 5 white American nurs
