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!
The Society of Antiquaries is seeking to appoint an Assistant Librarian to contribute to the provision of a high-quality library service for Fellows, Affiliate members, SCONUL users, and external researchers #LISJobs#libraries@ciliplndn@CILIPRareBooks https://t.co/XSGfn6i88H
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 ๐๐
๐ขWe're recruiting a full-time, permanent member of the @SocAntiquaries library team! A great opportunity for an early-career librarian to work with a fabulous collection. Please help spread the word! ๐ #libraryjobs#lisjobs#rarebooks#specialcollections https://t.co/GaFOWj5SMP
@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.
@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.

Review | @CruelMotherBand โ 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
BEST NEWS EVER! @SocAntiquaries future (and the whole of the @BurlingtonHub learned socs) is secured! ๐๐ 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 ๐
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 ๐ https://t.co/dLY011W6f2
