@pasttensehistories.bsky.socialoh yes, that was good
Show PostIt was very moving to read this story on the train into London this morning. I got off at Charing Cross, walked across Trafalgar Square and down Whitehall to Parliament. Exactly as the suffragettes did 118 years ago. No Cenotaph back then, but otherwise little has changed.

The girl on left is my aunt Zazi aged 18-19, the woman to her right is my grandmother's friend Doña Francisca." Don't buy fascist goods.
