Looks like it's back now - my search for exactly the right vintage donkey is much easier! Thanks for your help @textfiles.com @flickrfdn.bsky.social

Yep - I assume because of the large text extracts in the description giving a lot of false positives? It would be good to know if it's going to be preserved anywhere else, it's a unique resource.

Hi @textfiles.com - would love to know what's going on with that flickr account. Know it's not the first time it's been turned off. (And already asked @ukglo.bsky.social if she knows anything!)

Hey @archive.org - is your book illustration scans account permanently gone from Flickr? (makes the sad face of an artist in the middle of a project using the images)

It looks like the Internet Archive Book Images have all been removed from public view on Flickr. So sad - it was an extraordinary resource of free imagery. www.flickr.com/photos/inter...

...on Bluesky in theory. Hiya! You're too kind, thank you.

Also, how do those folk get up from those incredibly low armchairs?

I tried all the support info with no joy, too. LMK if yours is working?

(Are you still using it? It's been failing for a couple of weeks for me, looks like the database is gone)

Bagpuum

Is the plural of Bagpuss Bagpodes?

Kate Bush in a white coat, sitting at a vintage wooden desk. To her left is an old computer with a distinctive town of red function keys.

Watching a rerun of Kate Bush at the BBC, and noticed that in the Wogan ‘Experiment IV’ performance, there’s a BBC B and Cub monitor on the desk. Satisfying.

With my ‘I spend a lot of time looking at representing bodies’ life drawing hat on: This is fascinating. It’s visually correct - it feels like watching gymnastics on TV, but it’s conceptually and structurally very wrong. You need both observation (seeing) and construction (knowing) working together.

Oh, Cripes.

I’m just converting mine to markdown using these instructions matthiasott.com/notes/conver... - you could perhaps then use a markdown to indesign or pdf script? It’s all a bit command line though.

go.bsky.app/H6CKvTy maybe?

Oh, such sad news.

I admire your fortitude. (I find hue adjustment perplexing)

(I am still photoshoppin’ like it’s 1999)

Hello. Don't get too excited, I'm mostly burnt out on the socials.

(checking my studs and running on)

Back in the 1940s, my Dad’s girlfriend’s parents went away for a fortnight, leaving the girlfriend at home to take care of the budgie. Dad stayed over. The parents returned to a budgie who talked in a strong local accent, yet never worked out who taught it.

Yes.

Oh this is a whole… thing. Andrew Loomis’ ‘fashion man has a pipe’ is a particular fave. And The ideal female proportions include heels.
