This is brilliant. And the effort required to display a twenty year old webpage kind of mind blowing. www.vam.ac.uk/articles/acq...

Happy Lunar New Year 🐎

You will have spotted blooms of crocuses appearing across the parks 💛 They actually close their petals at night and during cloudy weather to protect their pollen—a phenomenon known as nyctinasty 💜 Despite the recent wet weather the appearance of crocuses does give you that spring feeling 🙌

Reminder that if you were born between 1970 and 1990, you can get MMR boosters free on the NHS. Just call your GP surgery and ask, they'll get you a nurse's appointment pretty quick www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

Update on the Lewisham Library refurb, funded by the council's successful bid for government funding a few years ago. This will finally be complete later this year #LewishamCentral

Seeing this post being shared a lot, so I feel the need to point out that it is misinformation! The actual article doesn't name who the 8 complaints came from (I doubt an FOI would include that info), or state that they all came from cis people. Read the article: www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "What were you trying to access?"

Weirdly anonymous campaign site, domain registered via GoDaddy yesterday, and FAQs include this gem 🤔

Mr Nipples is here to curse your timeline

"I don't know what will happen to UK culture if we close the doors on making it accessible." I couldn't agree more. Kate Nash talking total sense when responding to my question on class & its relevance in the music industry, specifically touring in the EU as a British artist.

I guess "white wealthy British and American grooming gangs" doesn't have the same ring to it

A love letter to the British Library in the FT (free to read). Surely folk working there are guessing who some of the more creative descriptions are ("Stone Age maiden librarian" and the "twirly-bearded librarian") www.ft.com/content/6c05...

Beware! A PUBLIC LIBRARY! Vote against this fresh imposition!

Here's another deep field image from JWST. There's something pretty amazing hidden within it, which I'll talk about next. But open up this image and lose yourself in this almost impossibly vast view of our Universe. The six-pointed features are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy.

Today’s moment of calm

An exquisitely painful example of how fixing the basics with IT has much more value than running after the shiny new tech

Help Nikki out if you can. I'm in Canary Wharf tomorrow which doesn't feel like the best location for kindness, beauty or wonder, but you never know!

play Hello Kitty Island Adventure if you want to read all my stupid and highly-specific jokes thank youuuu~

we hear so much about trans people from the British press yet so rarely hear from them - I'm really pleased this piece was commissioned, and will also be in the physical paper: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

Thing is, I think Rachel's right that if you *never* talk about someone it will eventually be noticed. Fear that her trying to be open with Stephen will backfire though #TheTraitors

Ooooof Rachel's mask is just starting to slip a little #TheTraitors

"So, Jade..." *the weariest eyeroll you've ever seen* #TheTraitors #Traitors #TraitorsUK

So interesting that everyone's first choices seem to be faithful but second or third picks mostly traitors... might bode badly for traitors' endgame #TheTraitors

I hadn't quite realised how rubbish a faithful Jade was because I've always felt sorry for all the heat on her for just being a woman who isn't people-pleasing #TheTraitors

Jack, was your funny feeling about Rachel when both Fiona and Harriet said she was a Traitor? #TheTraitors

Claudia's dazzling smile just makes it #TheTraitors

This is sick and I love it #TheTraitors

the dagger is essentially a massive dunce hat, they just give it to the person who has not a clue what’s going on #thetraitors

I need at least 3 more folk to sign up for my Edinburgh Adult Education Programme archaeology classes at Craigentinny, or the course will be cancelled. If you know anyone who might be interested, please let them know. Thank you! adulteducationedinburgh.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spyd...

Now THIS is what bluesky needed: a proper, original viral thread. Joining such Twitter greats as Took Ketamine and Served Drinks to the Irish President, and Accidentally Ordered a Truck of Rice.

I wrote this poem the day after Renee Good was murdered - it’s about how the media and politicians immediately dehumanised her. I have had a few people ask “who wrote it?” So I am putting it up again - written in anger

I never noticed this wonderful bit of London transport history captured in Mission Impossible. ‘DLR now open at weekends’ on the side of the bus.

'Alright pal, got plans for the #BigGardenBirdwatch?' 'Nah, just the usual... hang out of sight whilst she's doing the count, then touch down once the hour's over. You?' 'Classic. Planning some fly-bys with a few of the boys, but we'll only land one at a time.' 'Niiice.'

People shouldn't have to enter a high profile reality show just to get on the housing ladder!!!

Incredible #TheTraitors

To be fair, the behaviour of both was so erratic, it's not a total surprise. Though Rachel also managed the pressure magnificently #TheTraitors

Sam was a rubbish faithful to the end then #TheTraitors

'Is that person OK?' Oh Stephen you're the sweetest traitor #TheTraitors

"Mum I've got a job in #TheTraitors!" "Wow I'll look out for it!" The job:

I love this camp horror cabin #TheTraitors

Amazed the traitors got away with that tactic #TheTraitors

So long Adam, even though you were a ghost hunter I could never remember you #TheTraitors

I'm very impressed by both of them tbf, though tonight's gambit seems very high risk. I'm team Jessie but hard to see how she doesn't get murdered #TheTraitors

Oh no she's lost the plot #TheTraitors

It's starting to look a bit like getting to talk to the Traitors could be a poisoned chalice #TheTraitors

Oooof I think Rachel might pull this off #TheTraitors
