@yadananana I did a count - 50,500 on the hīkoi went past the end of lambton quay. Not including people at parliament, cenotaph, etc. Or those linking the streets.

I can’t wait to hear what the actual crowd numbers who turned out for this kaupapa. The tiriti generation is here. All our allies are here. The future is Māori 🖤❤️🤍

@DrBCCurtis @Edda_Nicolson I have a spreadsheet set up to do calculations on pounds shillings and pence if either of you (or anyone else) ever need it.

@Edda_Nicolson It was properly head-spinning stuff! 😖🤯

Hello #twitterstorians. I have been manually adding together pounds and shillings to get cumulative totals, but is there a calculator tool for this somewhere? I don't need to convert the currency, just add together expenditures. Thanks!

@SophieRowland93 @VickerstaffS @BenBaumberg Congrats Sophie!

Am very excited to announce that today I passed my Viva and am now Dr! Thank you to @VickerstaffS and Arthur McIvor for being such wonderful examiners. Also to Tim Strangleman and @BenBaumberg for being such great supervisors! 😁

On the subject of desi pubs here is the stunning window plate at the Red Lion in West Brom. Made to commemorate the visit of Malcolm X to Smethwick. #desi #blackcountry

How have local shops supported strikes? What does that tell us about retail and community? Our latest blogpost is a report on the CHORD conference earlier this year. wlv.ac.uk/about-us/news-…

I hope you have internet access @ProfGildart

Feeling pretty emotional watching MPs vote for the Abortion Bill. It's been such a long fight.

The shipyard protesters and Irish language campaigners are now standing together. Shipyard workers even chanting in Irish now.. #scenes today at Stormont, busiest it’s been in a long, long time...

A lovely question from one of the history students at Papatoetoe High School this morning: "We're all historians here. What tips or advice would you give us younger ones?'

One of deindustrialization’s effects is rendering remaining industrial workers and their struggles invisible or anachronistic. That’s encapsulated in a metropolitan journalist sneering at the campaign to save a 163 year old railway works, a source of secure jobs in Glasgow.

The predecessor unions that make up today’s @FIRST_Union (NDU) stood with Ngāti Whatua at Bastion Point. They do so today with @protectihumatao.

Large Ihumātao hīkoi gathering in Wellington to call on the PM and the Govt to step in.
