Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Ever wonder what those funky stone faces around Oxford are up to when nobody's looking?

Hello @mhclg - reports on English Indices of Multiple Deprivation were published in 2010, 2015, and 2019. A new one is due. Please update on plans to release the latest data. Thanks.
Reading material for the train journey HOME. 📚 🏠
Great day musing on the Future of Museums and getting under the skin of the fantastic new vision at @MuseumoftheHome hosted by @WW_Architects.
This week I remembered just how beautiful @ExploreWellcome’s Reading Room is. So, HEI folk, I want your recommendations please. Best places to perch & work in #London with:
🛜 @eduroamUK
⛔️ card-free access
🖼️ inspiring interiors
☕️ coffee nearby
🔌 sockets
🛋️ comfy chairs
ALT Open laptop on a wooden table in a library space with bookshelves, artworks on the walls and dangly ceiling lights behind. There’s a warm, mellow tone and no people.
Many historic homes introduce upstairs/downstairs interpretation which can stereotype the have & have nots. The interventions at Ballantine House @NewarkMuseumArt instead celebrate SUCCESS STORIES of local black women living down the street to evoke a real moment in time. 👏 ❤️
Museums are often emotionally ready to change, but operationally they are not.
Dina Jezdic @feminactive highlights the paradoxes in museums that make decoloniality work even harder but even more important. @museumnext #museumnext.
Same as board chalk and basically yet another type of quartz.... 😁

Very positive to see investment in this area, exploring innovative multisensory approaches to museum provision. Particularly excited that one pilot org is @ParaHeritage, whose commitment to access and inclusion is unswerving. 👏

🏛️ Therapeutic landscapes - nice places
💭 A sense of flow - distraction
🤝 Gaining social capital - trust
