🏳️‍🌈 50 years ago today, on Wednesday 7 June 1972, Reading Gay Alliance was formed.

A thread on the organisation’s early movements and geography of LGBTQ+ Reading 🧵

@CrossCountryUK hello folks 👋🏻 the crew on the heavily delayed 18.33 Newcastle to New Street are doing an INCREDIBLE job arranging onward travel for those on board for missed connections. Thorough, patient and after the day they’ve had!

[Adam Lines @AdamCLines]

@CrossCountryUK please reassure me that the 16.09 to Nottingham IS stopping at Water Orton? Platform and on board display say yes, conductor says Wilnecote is the first stop…

@EarloftheShire I hear this!

[Adam Lines @AdamCLines]

Erm.

Very kind to promote me to the role of director. Less kind to advance my age by a couple of decades. Child library prodigy?

‘I know the work you do…’ 👀

@Feltip1982 @YorksCafe @ParadiseBham @ichoosemag Amazing news! Their coffee is always a joy.

The Beatles: Special 60th reissue of A Hard Day’s Night on vinyl set to be released!

Me: Amazing! Does that mean we’ll get to hear the album remixed like all the other editions so far?

The Beatles: Erm, no. But it’ll be on limited edition white vinyl.

Me: No thanks.

Low-key demure start to my first term of teaching @unibirmingham

As teaching spaces go, not sure there many others on campus with views like this.

[Adam Lines @AdamCLines]

@benjcartlidge I hear you!

Try learning how to use it for the first time 🫠

@FrGeorgeReeves @unibirmingham I have no recollection of a number but it was ground floor. Had a squirrel infestation. The new Mason Block had just opened. No wifi, just Ethernet connection. Wow.

🚨 Still very odd to see my old post @UniRdg_SpecColl being advertised. Now with new role title. 🚨

[University of Reading Special Collections @UniRdg_SpecColl]

Could you be our next Collections Officer (Student Engagement)?

If you have a passion for engaging students with archive and rare book collections, take a look at this role:

Oh, what a day to be on the fells ☺️

Blencathra via Sharp Edge (😬) and down via Halsfell Ridge.

@davidabbottbris Gorgeous. Like burning embers.

@bobbert_ It looks like the kind of dinner you could keep on eating. And then grab some bread and mop up.

[Adam Lines @AdamCLines]

@bobbert_ 😍 recipe please!

@WaterOrtonSteve @North_Warks_BC @Warwickshire_CC @WaterOrtonPC @CrossCountryUK Appreciate it! I have to change trains once into New Street-often just one platform across. So that is handy. But well timed, hourly services into Moor St at far more flexible times would trump this. The additional commute services should be considered, though.

[Adam Lines @AdamCLines]

@WaterOrtonSteve @North_Warks_BC @Warwickshire_CC @WaterOrtonPC @CrossCountryUK Honestly, I’d give anything for a more regular, later and earlier service from Moor Street. It would open up possibilities I’ve long shelved as being possible from WO in Brum ⭐️

August fireworks for desk companions.

@DJNSussex Utterly joyous!
