The Womble and The Clanger in the style of The Omen and The Exorcist

🧵I've posted them before, but here's my thread of horror/kids' TV double-bill cinema posters. Happy Halloween...

Dressing up as a catalogue ghost, that product of a 19th c typo that drains the time of researchers and librarians and which—after initial banishment—reappears unexpectedly elsewhere. For extra horror: the ghost entry seems to describe a source which will solve all your research problems, but alas.

Label on a box file: 'MURDER. 1958 all seen by Miss Todd'.

Busy woman, Miss Todd.

A black and white image of two children dressed for Halloween, standing on a flat patch of scrubby ground with a rocky hillside rising behind them. The children are wearing multiple layers of outsized clothes, bundled and knotted around them. Their hands are hidden within their sleeves, and they have huge adult work-boots on their feet. The figure on the left is wearing a crude mask with tiny eyeholes and a mouth hole; tufts of dried grass have been added to create a beard and moustache. The figure on the right doesn't seem to have a mask – just a large clump of heather for a head, protruding from a jacket collar swathed in scarves.

I think Vinted is trolling me:

Excellent marshmallow ratio 👌#hotChocolate

Did you know that if you chant “add alt text” three times in the mirror, a social media manager appears behind you with a cat meme!

Run & fly have some great prints and bonus, you could get a matching dress or dungarees….

Misread a post about “National Medical Librarians Month” as “National Mediocre Librarians Month,” was so excited to finally be celebrated

Come, take this hand in yours   Come, take this hand in yours –   bury it beneath the trees,   while I go and get the rest of him   out of the deep freeze. Brian Bilsto

Today’s Halloween poem is called ‘Come, take this hand in yours’.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

If you're looking at witches it's Broomscrolling

Remember, the clocks go back one hour tonight, except for reform voters as you’re already living in late 1930s Germany.

Thank you

Thank you!!

My journey from station takes me through the centre… but I’ll be aiming for near the stonebow, so not far from there would be ideal ☕️

Photo of a train platform showing the sign for a booking office and keyboard saying the café is open. There is a train on the platform.

On my way to #York for a work thing. Times amended since I bought my train ticket & I have over an hour to kill. Would like #coffee & somewhere to sit with a table before 9am. Does bluesky/ #skybrarian have any independent suggestions?

Cc by for the win! 🎉

Strange thing to say, but I have the same bedding 😂

R.I.P. bodycare and it’s cheap prices

Picture of a mug and saucer on the table the mug contains a milky drink topped with milk foam and chocolate powder. In the background, there is a glass of a purple smoothie and a cake on a plate.

#hotChocolate in Manchester. Doesn’t look fancy, but made with coconut milk, so it was yum!

Photo of a mismatched vinyl tile stairwell with the outline of an arroyo in it. The arrow is upside down…. And appears similar in shape to a dinosaur footprint.

These are arrows of direction on a stairwell I rarely use in the office…. but without spex, i had thought for a moment a raptor had entered the building. 🦖

I want this on a tshirt!
