Welcome Jana Kaucky to the Mill Circle!
Yesterday, my mother, Jana Kaucky joined the admin team for the Mill Circle group so let's give her a big welcome! 🥳🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉👏👏👏👏🤗 She has prior school office admin experience. Jana Kaucky has an MA in Educational Management so has already been the Educational Consultant for this Circle from the beginning and will continue in that role. We will be sharing the posting. Her first of many contributions to the group is coming soon so do look out for it. ✍️

Who Does What
Unlike J. S. Mill and Harriet Taylor Mill, we (Liba and Jana) will make it very clear which one of us is writing any particular post or section of a post. It will be obvious by looking at the account name and profile picture which one of us is writing the content. My content and posts are my copyright, © Liba Kaucky, all rights reserved and all of Jana's content and posts are © Jana Kaucky, all rights reserved. Sometimes our logo will also be included as a picture. We will also credit the person who has a particular idea should we wish to use it in our own individual post. Joint posts and content will make it clear who has contributed what and in which section.
All IT, however, is managed by myself, Liba Kaucky.

New Group for Harriet Taylor Mill within this Mill Circle
Happy posthumous birthday to Harriet Taylor Mill! 🎊🎂🎁🎊
In honour of her, I have set up a new public group you can join to learn all about Harriet, her work and her life before and after meeting and marrying the love of her life, J.S. Mill, her second husband. Her writings span philosophy and feminism from an humanistic approach and poetry. Check out my first Harriet Taylor Mill group post, where I've begun a poetry topic section and shared a poem she published in 1832 titled 'Nature'.

New James Mill group and blog piece
Following James Mill's posthumous birthday, 6th April 1773, I've created a new sub-group (dedicated to the thought and writings of the father of J.S. Mill, James Mill) within in Mill Circle. Head over to the Groups section of this Circle website via the Spaces by Wix app to check it out and join (free membership to join/subscribe to the Mill circle and join all sub-groups). I have also written a piece on James Mill on my Mill Circle blog, available at: https://millphilosophycircle.blogspot.com/2023/04/james-mill-and-mill-circle-update.html or via the social media link icons for this blog provided at the top and bottom of this website.
(Sole) Founder: Liba Kaucky

J.S. Mill's Posthumous Birthday today (20th May)
Head over to the Forum and J.S. Mill subgroup on the Spaces Wix app to see photos of his plaque and house in Kensington! In the group, I've also written an extra few words alongside his botanical themed posthumous birthday card gif. 🌺🌸💮🏵️🌼
