As chair of European Movement Sussex, I’m so pleased we’ve pulled this event together.

There’s still time to register for tomorrow’s lunchtime webinar. It’s free and all are welcome.

It's nearly March...
Time to start planning the travel projects for the summer, together with an old travelling companion of mine...

Surely it isn’t Britain’s oldest door? 1050 is very recent…

Join us as we gauge the state of the UK-EU Reset with an expert panel from Sussex and beyond.

Free webinar, Thursday 5 March, 12:00uk/13:00cet.

I work in an academic library where patrons can chat with a human librarian 24/7. We use a co-op so librarians across the world help each other when your specific staff are off duty. This is a pretty common service, and it generally provides better info than AI for reference questions. Jusy FYI 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love the way he’s just jogging along for the company, not trying to outdo them!

These are fantastic paintings. Great to see a reimagined Ravilious in there too. I know it’s the Westbury White Horse in that particular instance, but it reminded me that I always thought the Uffington White Horse was actually a cat, not a horse. Perhaps your dad could prove it in a new work 😎

Library!! Any library anywhere, always a ‘happy place’ for the people it’s designed for (and anyone else who wants to use it). Everybody welcome in a library!!

The UK is going to hell in handcart right now, but I’m relieved to say that it’s still inconceivable that our head of state/government would single out individual athletes at the #Olympics for abuse. The USA is in a dark place. A remarkable article.

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

The Internet Archive has some marvellous gems. Great for research that they have managed to keep going.

Is it available on the Internet Archive’s Way Back Machine?

That was the set the library in my school had. Making me feel quite nostalgic.

Ah this is tricky, as I want to be cremated, and as a librarian I can’t bear the thought of burning a book alongside my remains! 😬 But if I were to be buried then ‘Guards! Guards!’ By Terry Pratchett

Thank you! It reminded me of when I saw the Viking boat in the Oslo museum back in 1985-ish. A very uncluttered display area allowing the ‘perfect for the job’ design to speak for itself.

Thank you for a highly interesting talk and discussion. Superbly chaired by @helengibbons.bsky.social

Which institution is that in?

😂

A Kir Royale would have hit the spot, but with no cava to hand it will have to be a fizzless one. Let’s call it a Kir Starmer.

If I tried that tummy stroking with my cat I’d be a hand short of a pair! Yikes!!

Reminds me of the Alan Garner books and ancient trackways on Alderley Edge (what lies beneath are sleeping Arthurian knights awaiting their call to come to the rescue of the country)

If Gibraltar is interested in exporting any of that sunlight, there will be many willing purchasers in west Wales...

The sun is 93 million miles (150 million kilometres) from the earth, yet it can be captured in a single window on the tiny Rock of Gibraltar! Thanks to Helen Gibbons for this amazing shot. #meteogib

There’s this one too! Vesalius ‘de humani corporis fabrica’ (1542) frontispiece. Notice the naked man on the far left clinging to a pillar! He’s not even dead yet, so he’s definitely horrified!! #earlymodern anatomical theatre
