Remember guys, @pcsunion.bsky.social staff at the BL are on strike for the next two weeks. Please don't cross the picket line to go to reading rooms, attend exhibitions or anything else. They've endured so much on low pay since the cyberattack in 2023 and the least we can do is have their backs now.

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.

There is a proposal to create a new eastern entrance to this historic cemetery, which would be detrimental. I would urge anyone who has an interest in the #Glasgow #Necropolis to read this open letter from the Friends group and take action www.glasgownecropolis.org/wp-content/u... #31DaysOfGraves

#31DaysOfGraves 2024 - the film. Part II. Especially for @orsa-marga.bsky.social for her patience. 😌 #watercolor #coloredpencildrawing #mixedmedia #FineArt #art #kleineKunstklasse 2/2

Just learnt about #31DaysOfGraves from a @churchmonuments.bsky.social lecture and can't resist adding this one on the final day, even if it isn't quite on theme! Photographed in the Forest of Dean, made of metal, and I've never seen any comparable examples - would love to know if anyone else has.

Finally #31DaysOfGraves as an ART project is finished - started last year. @annaandthedead.bsky.social

@annaandthedead.bsky.social Thank you for hosting. Really enjoyed participating and it has been illuminating seeing the variety of resting places. #31DaysofGraves
