I saw a video short yesterday of Ruth Goodman promoting her new series "Tudor Life with Ruth Goodman" It's on History Extra and started on Oct 6, 2025. She also has a series on Victorian Life, she did short videos last year on the subject, but I don't believe I realized at the time that there was a full series on different subjects covering Victorian life... I'd love to see them all.. I will put them in the media|entertainment airtable base.

History Extra is free when you buy a magazine subscription for "BBC History"... It comes out 13 times a year.... It's not a digital magazine... I'll add it to the resources table here and to the media|entertainment airtable base.

While watching an episode (episode 3 season 1) "History of the Home" they were discussing how Virginia Wolf liked to have a room outside of the house where she could write in peace. I did a little reading about her.... She had an open marriage with her husband, had romantic relationships with woman and suffered from bipolar disorder, which ultimately took her life at the age of 59. Her husband, who was only two years older than Virginia, lived another 28 years.

Many of her statements and essays would be offensive today...

I was researching if there were any indians living in the Huntington WV area before it was settled by colonizers.... and there were several..... Some of the main groups connected to the area include: Shawnee, Mingo, Cherokee and the Iroquois Confederacy. I think asked if it could create an image of what the Indian settlements may have looked like on the Ohio River, and this is what it came up with... very interesting.
