I just finished Small Game by @blairbraverman.bsky.social and I loved it. It's perfect if you like survival shows, a smidge of Yellowjackets and a very human-centred kind of horror, the kind that creeps up on you and takes root in your brain, whispering 'what if?'

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Back in 2023, RAMM adopted an #openaccess strategy for #publicdomain artworks. In Dec we launched an Open GLAM Toolkit with the #GLAM-E Lab, for use by any cultural orgs looking to develop their own access program and release collections for public reuse. rammuseum.org.uk/news/glam-e-...

This week my employer of 17 years English Heritage announced 200 jobs lost, and my Alma mater Cardiff Uni announced 400 jobs lost. The planning system that protects our heritage and provides thousands of archaeology jobs is at risk, and Higher Education is in free fall more generally #ThisIsFine

The internet is not a neutral space—it reflects the structures, biases, and inequalities of our world. But what if it didn’t? What would a truly feminist internet look like? 🌐 It's more important than ever that we question the status quo! #art+feminism Read more: wikimedia.ie/2025/01/24/i...

Instead of just reading summaries on news sites, I highly recommend going through these executive orders and really absorbing the intent and language. It's fucked. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

The world's richest man has joined a growing chorus of right-wing voices attacking Wikipedia as part of an intensifying campaign against free and open access information. Why do they hate it so much?

20% of English Wikipedia's biographies are about women! This is a huge milestone, but there's so much more work to be done on notable women who are more than qualified for their own Wikipedia biography. Thank you to all of the editors who are taking part in this work 🫶 #gendergap #wikipedia

You do not need to be an academic to visit an archive. You do not need a degree to visit an archive. There is no terrifying Don at the door grilling potential visitors. If it's your first time, a nice archivist will help you. It's our shared history, our preserved records. Go explore it.

Five shifts left at my festive bookseller job and I'm looking forward to a break, and a fresh start at Leeds in January, but I will be sad to leave the shop behind. Being around books just for the joy of it has been really healing, and getting out of the house in the darker months is revelatory.

My partner made this for our first friend group meet up after two friends welcomed their first kiddo, right at the end of lockdowns. Lots of lovely memories in this lasagne.
