YouTube video by ITV Retro Mr Benn | Entire Season 1 | Classic 70s kids series

In tribute to the late Ray Brooks the ITVRetro YouTube channel has today added the entire run of Mr Benn to its output. This includes the 2000 special episode 'Gladiator' which is definitely worth a look if you've never seen it. Maybe as a soothing bedtime story...

A fun time was had & am enjoying sharing the love of zines

Loving @literaturegeek.bsky.social's #dh2025 paper "exploring zines for DH research, methods training & scholarly communication"..."zines are a welcoming, inexpensive, and effective format" - and not just because it has a tiny picture of a zine I helped put together on it! Loving the 🌈 vibe too!

Good day at work helping run a zine making workshop for #southasianheritagemonth , we chatted, crafted & created a few fun zines to add to our collection

Working my way through some excellent #southasianheritagemonth reads

Plenty of laughs in Delhi Boys, sad it’s over

Had fun setting up the book display for #southasianheritagemonth & looking forward to more celebrations next week #SAHM2025 #Rootstoroutes , my TBR keeps on growing

3 mannequins wearing saris designed for active wear including one for rock climbing

With #soutasianheritagemonth just round the corner I visited the ancient India exhibition at the British Museum last week & today went to Offbeat Sari at the Mac, so much to enjoy & appreciate , all good inspiration for zine workshop am running with colleague in a few weeks

I think I am lacking zeal as have not yet made a zine & July is int zine month #IZM2025

Things I particularly enjoyed seeing/hearing about at Uni of Sheffield open day was the maker space Iforge & the research opportunities for UGs, everyone we spoke to was so helpful & enthusiastic

Enjoying the open day atmosphere at Uni of Sheffield good to see the library stall at int information fair looking busy, is the imp bit in choosing a uni

An image of an A4 sized zine called Ugly Mug 7 and a tiny zine called Recycled Wonders with the neon words Big and Little respectively pointing at them.

Image of two zines, one unfolded to show it is a page with image of Furby art work, and another bound called DVLSBLSH and they have the neon words Folded and Bound respectively pointing at them

Two Zines, one rectangular called Your field of Flowers and the other square called In the Gaps, with the neon words Rectangular and Square respectively pointing at them.

July is International Zine Month, and we are very proud of our new zine collection. Zines are such a versatile medium they can be absolutely anything: we have big and little; folded and bound; rectangular and square... #IZM2025 #zinescene

That is rubbish am sorry

Made from 100% endpapers and artworks from @nhmlibraryarchives.bsky.social collections.

Over engineering a potentially empty upcoming zine making workshop by testing out some #zine inspiration dice & fortune teller

A photo of a table and display boards with posters saying "Pride Month: Queer Joy and visibility", "Trans joy and visibility", "Lesbian Pride and visibility/Gay Pride and visibility", and "Bisexual pride and visibility/Asexual pride and visibility" each with rainbows, the appropriate identity pride flags and images of books on. The table is covered in hearts in the pride colours and books with titles such as "Queer as folklore", "Queer Life, Queer Love" and "Gender Euphoria"

We've just put up our Pride display at Harrison Library, where we have pulled out books from our collection which demonstrate Queer Joy and Visibility! #PrideMonth2025

Oh my glad you are ok, take it easy

The lies you tell yourself, this new pencil case is what will help me use my many many art supplies…

In other news want to watch Murderbot but work is going to get in the way

Have lots of info & ideas to processes after attending #calc25 but very much appreciated the thoughtful organisation, the chance to listen to interesting research & ideas all in the presence of such an engaged audience, next week is going to feel dull

Is always fun making #zines with others & as a bonus they will be added to our new #zine collection in the library

Just finished watching The Residence , was great fun
