It's so great you're posting these. There are like five pictures of ML on the internet. You're making things change!

Editor's note: I was on Twitter for over 10 years engaging in this sort of thing. It was a strong community of Firminists, but it started to unravel once Twitter began to be called something else. I'm starting from scratch now on Bluesky. It's a slow build but people are interested.

Well, you would be the first genius to toss gems into the abyss ;)

Glad to hear it's building, though. It's way better here.

I've been communicating with UBC on a regular basis after visiting them last summer, so it's been a wonderful way to get some of the lesser known photos out in the public.. I love the picture with Lowry and his cat, where he is smiling in the sunlight. It's what I currently use for profile pic.

You're doing the world a kindness.
