Got to Honda Center early, got to see the dragon dancers!

All right y’all, so here’s the deal.

We’re struggling. Our monthly goal is to sell 1500 books. This month, we’ve sold less than 400.

We need your help. We HAVE to sell 1500 books by the end of Feb to keep our doors open. This was supposed to be a video, but Bluesky can't do 2 mins of video(Thread)

I don't know about you guys, but I sure have some questions about the new NSF policies. Rather a lot of them!

Shall we all ask them some questions? Many of them? Let's get this... cleared up!!

The world has been through anti-science cycles before, to disastrous results

On a detour on my lit review, a mosey through the history of our familiar friend, the standard onion (Allium cepa) brought me right to one of botany's greatest cautionary tales of what happens when ideology overrides data

As far as I got with the alpaca. #art #drawing #alpaca

Tonight was a trash fire. Take 30 seconds to witness the miracle of life.

Joe Biden Frees Leonard Peltier The ailing Native American rights activist has been in prison for nearly 50 years after the U.S. government lied to put him there.

“With literally minutes left in his presidency, Joe Biden on Monday granted clemency to Leonard Peltier, the ailing Native American rights activist whom the U.S. government put in prison nearly 50 years ago after a trial riddled with misconduct and lies.” www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-bi...

A biography of Daphne du Maurier by Margaret Foster. Googly eyes have been added to the cover photograph of Daphne.

'Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter, for my eyes were too googly.'

So as it's a new year let me do a fresh reintroduction for 2025.

I'm Luke Agbaimoni, an author & photographer capturing moments at every station and stop on the London Underground tube map.

I also share of photos of the Glasgow Subway and other metro systems as I visit them.

Nice to meet you all

It's that time of year when I ask the Big Question: what were the best books you read this year? (They don't have to be from this year.)

RTs welcome! I want to cast a wide net. No need to worry about if you think I will like it.

My own best books of the year follow!

Christmas Angels

Fun photography of the London Underground Light Box with the angel Christmas lights on Regent' Street in the background.

As a creator, it's so satisfying to see people gain access to jewelry they love. I've made necklaces ultralight, added extenders, used magnets, clips & fidgety bits and made conversions & while it sometimes takes extra time and creative experimentation, it is 1000% worth it. Accessibility matters!

Train Arrives at Oxford Circus London Underground station

Bullet Train

Looking back at one of my fave photos this year

A train shoots out of the tunnel, down the platform & towards a Hamilton theatre poster. It looks like the man is staring down the barrel of his shotgun at the approaching train at Oxford Circus Underground station

Plush wombat with a Santa hat on sitting in front of a Christmas tree.

Two plush cubed wombat poops - one angry and one happy - with a Santa hat on.

For this #WombatWednesday, we’re walking through a #wombat wonderland. This plush has been so fun to have in my shop and to see people’s reactions at events. He’s very friend sized. Link in my bio if you want a buddy!

London Underground Photography

Escalation

My second version of this simple photo taken from Euston railway station, looking at the escalators through the window to the entrance of Euston London Underground station.

The resulting image looks like a poster for TFL. I love the architectural lines here!
