I’m a MASSIVE #HistoryNerd, so while I’m #crocheting, #knitting, or even building #Lego, I like to listen to #podcasts. Here’s one of my favourites, #YoureDeadToMe, hosted by #GregJenner (he was the head writer for #HorribleHistories). This episode is about #BlackGeorgianEngland. Give it a listen!

@adrew I think teaching Roman Numerals still has value. The history of how and why they were replaced by Arabic numerals is really interesting in terms of History/Anthropology and in terms of Math. The Roman System has no zero; the modern binary system only uses ones and zeros: what are the implications? And how does science and knowledge shift when people migrate? #HistoryNerd #historyofscience

Getting cross on Twitter because some people are saying that Alfred the Great was the first king of England.

(He was the king of Wessex. His grandson Aethelstan was the 1st king of England.)

Sigh.
