Explore the extraordinary life of Anne Lister (1791–1840), a 19th-century Yorkshire woman who openly loved women and documented her experiences in detailed journals, often written in code.
This talk delves into her romantic relationships; how she met, seduced, and connected with her lovers and how these same-sex partnerships contrasted with the heteronormative norms of the Georgian era.
Discover how Lister navigated the social and emotional challenges of her time to live authentically, and how her coded writing created a private space for her truths.
/**
* TIME FIELD TWEAK — hide seconds + force "00"
*
* What it does:
* - Finds every `.form-item.time` block.
* - Sets the seconds input `.field-element[data-title="Second"]` to "00".
* - Hides the seconds UI `.field.second.two-digits` via `style.display = "none"`.
*
* When it runs:
* - On `DOMContentLoaded`.
* - On `mercury:load` (Squarespace’s AJAX/PJAX page-change event).
*
* Why:
* - We don’t need seconds; this keeps the UI cleaner and standardises submitted values.
*
* Notes:
* - Safe to remove if you later want users to pick seconds.
* - If Squarespace changes markup, update the selectors above.
* - Logs a credit message to the console (“Soundfocus Digital”).
