Prof Dorothy Bishop resigns from RS because it has continued to allow musk fellowship.

Dorothy Bishop's blog post on the whole thing:

'Any pleasure I may take in the distinction of the honour of an FRS is diminished by the fact it is shared with someone who appears to be modeling himself on a Bond villain, a man who has immeasurable wealth and power which he will use to threaten scientists who disagree with him.'

I love how they call it a “mystery”.

This (iconic) moment during the Sochi 2014 opening ceremony where Anne whipped out an absolute bible of a book is enough to tell you why she won’t be there.

But also, that same year, she said this about opening ceremonies (and she’s right):

Princess Anne lamented to her fellow IOC members Wednesday that athletes have become an “add on” to a bigger celebration.

“I am old enough that I remember when the opening ceremony was only with the athletes,” said the British princess, who competed in equestrian at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. “To me, the balance has gone too far the other way.”

Plus, the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony is going to be four hours long and take place outdoors on the Seine for the most part. As someone who is not 73 and recovering from a head injury, I couldn’t be arsed with that, so I can’t imagine she could be either.

Liber Regalis

Among the remarkable treasures in our collection is the Liber Regalis - or 'royal book.'

The beautifully illustrated 14th-century English medieval illuminated manuscript gives ceremonial instructions and the order of service for the coronation.

The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066.

The manuscript is thought to have been made for the crowning of Richard II's queen, Anne of Bohemia, here in 1382.

Despite various changes over the centuries, the instructions it gives still form the basis of the coronation service today.

You can see the Liber Regalis on display in our museum, the Abbey Galleries.

Okay. So. I was on tiktok and I remembered that live wedding painters exist.

And that made me obviously think of other live things that could be painted. And I have a one track mind so I obviously landed on Jedi ceremonies.

Which made me straight up tear up if Quinlan had a live painting done of knighting Aayla in a somewhat longer than usual ceremony so they had enough time for the artist to do the background (maybe Room of a Thousand Fountains because I don’t think they should all happen in the council chambers) and Quinlan and their lineage all there and Obi and Ani (Ani is here for big sister Aayla, Quinlan just Happens To Be There ugh) and all that stuff.

And I think that Quinlan would be able to touch that painting years down the line and still feel like he’s in that moment even tho his baby girl is all grown up and flown the nest, she’s right there looking up at him as he knights her.

-tag this as post O66 and I’ll kick ur ass it’s not about that I’m here for fix it fics not that stain-
