For #RomanFortThursday this lovely little cigarette card of Hadrian’s Wall from 1932, modelled by a Playmobil auxiliary wall soldier. Did you know…if you recreated the Wall in Playmobil scale, it would be over 3 miles long?!???!?? #GoingToNeedABiggerGarden #PlaymobilInfestation

The library of Congress is so so so fundamental, founded in 1800, it’s the only library of its kind, it belongs to every American, it has every copyrighted book, it is non-partisan. It is for research, anyone can use it. It is our library and we cannot let them trash it.

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

It is disturbing that this is happening. It's even more disturbing that books are being removed in response to the threats and intimidation. Librarians need to be given more protection and support when this happens.
