I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital.

Requesting help from librarians: Boss wants info on college libraries going digital-only. Who is digital-only? How's it going? Have libraries gone digital to later reintroduce print?

ISABELLA STEWAHT GAHDNAH MUSEUM HEIST OF 1990 WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. LOUVRUH AIN'T SHIT COMPARED TO THAT.

On World Bread Day I'm celebrating this tweet cos every time I make toast i think "cook it again"

Happy Columbo's Day! Celebrate by doing one more thing on your personal to-do list, even if that thing is just watching your favorite episode.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: IMMORTALITY is one of the most unique and compelling games of all time. Play it if you haven’t.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

HAPPY JUNETEENTH MY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ❤️🖤💚
