Hi @garius.bsky.social can you help me find a forever home for some books. My late father must have got these from a charity shop. It looks to be a set of nine bound editions of a part work, largely published 1939-1946.

Where are my fellow editors in the humanities? I am writing about journal submission volume, AI, and the humanities. If you are an editor, I'd love to know if you are seeing a lot of AI-generated submissions-- or a lot of submissions in general. Or if you have the problem of low submission volume.

I'd thought it would be nice to go to the Hay Festival one of these years. Maybe not, if this is the attitude of the organisers.

EU friends!

This is indeed very good, but there are a few nuances that I would take issue with. Eight points follow…

💥 97,500!💥 This Rejoin petition is so close to completion. Let’s tip it over the 100,000 mark to force the government to respond. Given the party in power now realises they need the pro-EU base - are they really going to refuse a debate in parliament on this? Let’s find out! Sign and share!

A shout out for @prudenceandthecrow.bsky.social . I've just read their website, offering to send a vintage book by post every month. A superb idea, and one that I would have loved to offer as a present. Sadly, they no longer send books to the EU (wonder why...?). But if you can, please support.

Yet another reason to visit Darfield Museum - the only place in South Yorkshire where you can see a section of the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt. On display from Saturday 30 May
