Like many of us, I'm ditching this dystopian hellscape in favour of Bluesky. Find me at: https://t.co/yS9jVtKhUF
It'll mostly be photos of fun books, broadsides etc from the library.
For anything band-related, we're on Insta:

See you on the other side!

@PaulxCrompton @MetroUK Bought out by Sky Vegas and replaced with advertising... Ugghh... The cryptic is the only reason I pick up @MetroUK 🙃

[Becky L @Bekkhilde]

Hey @MetroUK where's the cryptic crossword?! Conspicuously absent from the puzzles section in today's paper! Bring it back! 😩 #crypticcrossword #metrouk #metropuzzles #metronews #wordgames

[Becky L @Bekkhilde]

Also, move to #bluesky like the rest of us...

At a restaurant in Camden and the group next to us are celebrating a birthday. The waiter just brought out a Colin the Caterpillar cake with a tombstone in it. We were absolutely howling. Happy 65th 💀😅

I just beat Britain First.

@alexandra_makin Robert Hardy's books maybe? He was an expert on the longbow throughout history (c.f. his 'Longbow: a social and military history'). Ants has the 3rd ed but there may be a more recent one available.

It's #EarthDay2024 so here's some appropriate listening... https://t.co/1Kidu7hO3M

@BellWitchdoom @profoundlore Phenomenal album, and a pleasure to witness it live twice in London at the Oslo and the Dome. Looking forward to the next installments!

Desperately sad news.
Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context.
Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them.
Having spent many hours behind the scenes in this one, poring over skeletal collections at National Museum Wales, working with archaeologists there, my heart is riven by this sad news.

Blown away by such a wonderful review for our debut @CruelMotherBand EP 🥹

[Echoes And Dust @echoesanddust]

Review | @CruelMotherBand – Cut Down For The Earth by @dominichemy. "The marriage of old traditional English murder ballads with the funereal despair of doom metal brings such joy in its fresh perspective." https://t.co/rBuKX0hGdx

[Becky L @Bekkhilde]

I thought this was a parody (cf. Mariella Dudley-Terfington). It is not a parody.

[Becky L @Bekkhilde]

Thanks to @toxic1metal for this feature on @CruelMotherBand! Our debut EP is out in less than a month 🎻🍻 #folkdoom #doommetal #tradfolk #Englishfolk #broadsides #ballads #folkmetal #londonmetalcoalition

[toxic metal @toxic1metal]

BEST NEWS EVER! @SocAntiquaries future (and the whole of the @BurlingtonHub learned socs) is secured! 🎉📚 A long time coming but now we can be certain our amazing #library and #collections will be preserved and continue to be made available for research 🙌

[Becky L @Bekkhilde]

Today I'm cataloguing this 1685 book w/ embossed covers and found out about "Dutch gilt" #bindings c.1700 (the book is Dutch but the binding is a misnomer!)
Thanks to our neighbours @LinneanSociety I should add! Always great to be learning new things 😊 https://t.co/dLY011W6f2

[Becky L @Bekkhilde]

So thrilled when I remembered I had seen this IRL in our own library! And, of course, now I also need this shirt...
