Awww thanks dino friends for reading and sharing! I hope to get to see you in person the next time I'm in the UK, because I get the feeling photos don't really do them full justice 🦖🦕🦖🦕

Poster for the talk How do Cats Meme with details below a picture of a #18thc cat castle being besieged by rats

If you are in Basel tomorrow afternoon, I'm talking about cats as memes from the #18thc till now. Plus have some nifty new things to share I made w/ Lewis Walpole Library digital collections.

Thanks for sharing! I was amused to see photos of the dinos painted at one period... May we both get to see them in person someday!

Thanks Patrick! Appreciate the words of encouragement and support 🎉

Crystal Palace Dinosaurs in Punch’s Pocket Books One of the pleasures of archival research is falling into a hole of information that you did not even know existed, then sharing that new-to-you set of facts with… basically everyone you talk with for...

Hi all, today marks the end of my time as a postdoc for the Punch's Pocket Book Archive project. I'm not 100% sure what's next, big picture, but in the meantime here's a post I wrote last month about #19thC Crystal Palace dinosaurs, ht @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social for info 🦖🦕

I mean, whatever, no big deal. It's probably because I'm an old now or something

Surprised that Emo family don't have bangs in their face, black nail polish, and a livejournal link as well, although if you squint at the black bendy...

Re(un)covered podcast The podcast where Bethany, a literary researcher with a passion for the obscure, shares recovered & uncovered stories from archives around the world.

So... The Beggar's Opera redux? Because that's what a musical about #18thCentury Jack Sheppard screams to me. If anyone at the David Bowie Centre wants to get in touch with people who know more about that context, I've got some ideas...

Pufflings now in your feed, you are welcome

That feeling when you scroll just a bit too far in your feed and then end up more depressed than when you got on here seeking something to lift you up—and found some sparkling moments of light and laughter—but then kept going.

Who to blame besides late stage capitalism? #amwriting

Just finished reading The No-Girlfriend Rule and kept thinking of @friede.bsky.social, all the others I know who play RPGs. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick, queer gamer YA novel with plenty of heart as a #summerread. #amreading #onvacation

I think it will just disappear? They said the service was going away in July but I'm not exactly sure when tbh

My kingdom for paying people to do editorial labor across the board... because it's really, really, REALLY important. The scars from negative, mean, unprofessional feedback last for years/decades and are so unnecessary.

Almost up to 30 likes on the #18thcentury 2.0 feed, we love to see it. It seems like everything is behaving correctly too. So whatever you tag with #c18th, #18thC, or #c18 should show up. Appreciation to folks like @sarahmurden.bsky.social, @nguthrie.bsky.social who always keep the images coming!

The deeper this thread goes the more I just had to laugh, thank you for all you do @midnightpals.bsky.social

okay, somehow the 2.0 feed became everything onhere but I think for real now it should just show #18thC content 🤞 My tests aren't fully interacting so please do give a shout if something doesn't show up after you post #c18th things, thx

Awww, thanks @drbibliomane.bsky.social -- I will admit I didn't expect it to take quite so long for the recreation to work, but I *think* I've got the tags right. Here's hoping it's a smooth transition as the old service provider goes away. Thanks again for making sure I saw this news!

I've also made a list of people who followed the OG #18thC feed for archival purposes since the old list will disappear soon. Please pin, like, share the 2.0 version if you are into feeds about cool old stuff. #c18th #18thcentury

Thanks to @drbibliomane.bsky.social we've got a skyfeed driven #c18th feed now since blueskyfeeds host is sadly shutting down. Please go and like the 2.0 version here and let me know if you run into any issues along the way! bsky.app/profile/did:... #18c #c18
