Alrighty, I’m off 👋 Aside from boosting a few accounts (@LinneanSociety, @SHNHSocNatHist and the like) I’ll be over at the other place 🦋 Come join! Handle is in my bio 😊

@talloaksfrom @LinneanSociety Really must get that clock working again 🤣

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@TomatoJamSalad We have it, and the other editions as well.
You can borrow it if you want.

@TomatoJamSalad *cough* library *cough*

This is the nicest thing I saw today. “Priamus polycletes” [sic] in Carl Clerck’s Icones insectorum rariorum (1759). This copy at the @LinneanSociety is from the private library of Carl Linnaeus, and annotated by him.

@NewburyPride 😢

@LGDemetriou This is a really charming idea, Leah! Is your original article online somewhere?

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@GRSturge You’re welcome! My success rate with this sort of thing is usually very low—embarrassing for a librarian 🤣

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

My talk about Elizabeth Blackwell and her “Curious Herbal” is now on the @LinneanSociety’s YouTube channel. It’s an imperfect presentation in lots of ways—and I make a few embarrassing mistakes—but I hope it’s a useful introduction to an amazing book 😊 https://t.co/m0DaPGhUuU

@CamLibResearch Thank you Mark ☺️ The list grows ever longer! It’s for a conference—so inevitably I’ll have a hot minute to myself—but hoping to squeeze in some proper sightseeing before and after.

Going to Paris next May. It’s only taken 36 years. What should I see?

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@bookllyfr Unusually, it seems like a fine city for the standard touristy things. I may do just this.

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@HaylesD I need to start making a list!

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@liamlawecon Do I need to buy a new map?

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@donalldubh Is Versailles troublesome to get to from the centre?

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@fernnesf Thank you! ☺️

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

It will—tragically—be 37 years by the time I actually get there. So genteel attractions suitable for the decrepit please x

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@ITattum That sounds rough, but your library’s loss was another’s gain! Well done for rehoming them.

[Will Beharrell @WillBeharrell]

@ITattum Librarians have a philosophical attitude to books I think. You never really own them 😉
