Oh my god. I know I talk about it every 10 seconds, but Donut Squad. Those pages at the end made my hands itch for a pencil. @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social has sooooooo many drawing resources on her website tied to all her and her and @philipreeve.bsky.social's books, it's immense fun.

📜Our digitised #MedievalManuscripts have moved from LUP’s Manifold to the UoL’s Digital Heritage Lab: digitalheritagelab.liverpool.ac.uk/medieval-man... Explore a Book of Hours, antiphoner, seafaring chart, and our copy of Piers Plowman - all comparable with manuscripts internationally using #IIIF.

"Summarise ten new novels" might produce something quite different from "summarise ten novels released this year"? "New" is a rather (AI) loaded term... Which makes me think of "Cakes in Space" (@philipreeve.bsky.social and @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social) and the dangers of using "ultimate"!

Islay! Tomorrow! 🐭⤵️
