Recently we had a history event at the church, and lots of visitors came by, and I was explaining to one of them that the guys helping out with refreshments were from Iran and so might hold out their phones for her to speak into to get it translated and help them understand what she was saying.

Al fresco
#TeaUp
after a walk long the coast. The joy of staying overnight is time and space to explore in peace before the day trippers arrive (I know they are important for the local econom, but they can be overwhelming!)

Currently asking myself why I thought it would be a good idea to give three

Question for
#archivists
. Are white gloves still routinely used in America? I'm reading a book by an author I usually love, and there's a scene where characters are given gloves to handle a document. Wondering if it's different practices in other countries?

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH
