Big love and solidarity Alex, it's hard to know what to say in the face of such times, other than that we're stronger together ❀️

'Absolute unit' meme to be placed on display in Bradford museum The National Science and Media Museum is set to display its first digitally born object - the 'absolute unit' meme.

A short thread: Memes, the Kodak Gallery and thinking about photographic archives pretty much sums up my work year in review! www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/2480516...

This looks like an AMAZING opportunity. The RGS has such wonderful and somewhat underloved object collections. The person who gets to do this would be in a position to shine the light on some fantastic objects with extraordinary stories.

Doing a 2nd doctorate would be excessive, right?
