Amazing time at the Leap Scarecrow festival. Loved some of the really 'local humour' like the one of the parish priest meeting the Pope 😂 #Cork #Halloween

Holy shit twitter just rolled out audio and video calling and made it the default setting that ANYONE you follow can call you. Go into your settings and turn it off for your own safety: Settings—>Privacy/safety—> Direct messages —> disable audio and video calling

Attn elderly millennials of Ireland: Covid boosters are now available for us! Booked in for Friday, let's see if that's soon enough...

It was great to hear Irish Tanaiste Micheal Martin speak so elegantly and knowledgeably about the power and importance of primary sources at the Launch of the Japanese Diet Library (the Library of the Japanese Parliament) today at UCC Library

Today was the first meeting of the Stanford LitLab, and I thought I'd get into the spooky spirit in a dress of dead DH projects. Can't guarantee it's totally free of editorializing... #DHsewing

It was a privilege this morning to welcome Dr. Evelien Hauwaerts (manuscripts curator, at Bruges Public Library) to give an online workshop for UCC on 'Working with IIIF in Research and Public Outreach'. I learned so much and the workshop materials are available www.mmmonk.be/en/about-iii...
