It’s fair to say this was an eye-opener last year, all indexing the same pages of text. I look forward to doing similar on National Indexing Day 2025, alongside much more from my fellow indexers. #IndexDay

A couple of changes for our next gig: we’ve added Jo Owen to the middle bit, and the magnificent Kate McCabe steps in as guest MC, as Danny Sutcliffe has to go to a press screening of the film what he stars in, Mr Doom. 😲🎬⭐️ wegottickets.com/event/646615 #Stockport #ComedyClub

From Barbara Pym’s No Fond Return of Love: ‘but a book can be made or marred by its index. And love and devotion are not necessarily the best qualifications, she thought, remembering the wives and others who undertook what was often acknowledged to be a thankless task.’ Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥️

Excellent news about Barbara Pym's English Heritage blue plaque at her London home. Best known as a novelist but also worked as an indexer; included an indexer in No Fond Return of Love. More about Pym's indexing career via @indexer.bsky.social (https://buff.ly/40ZospS)

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

I planted a few clumps of garden snowdrops in the green a few years ago. They’re now my most welcome returning sight every January. Highly recommended. 💚
