The BBC archive is an immensely important source of 20th UK history. It's not just a bit of entertainment. Losing access to it is erasing history. Perhaps some of the state and flag gang might take a break from harassing other citizens to worry about it.

Big fan of these if you can get them from somewhere other than Amazon.

We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.
NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.
The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

This is the very best news! Please head to your local library or indie bookshop and get tore into it. It's an absolute treat of a read.

A very peaceful scene of a perfectly still body of water at dawn. The scene is a study of pale salmon-pink and grey and the misty sun is reflected in the grey water
Today is Candlemas- which must be the best name in the calendar.

If you are an archivist you should read this. It's so rare to see labor and expertise of archivists acknowledged let alone celebrated that I might have cried a little
