Not my mum digging up truffles in our garden and throwing them away because she didn’t know what they were…!

[Dr Madeline White @madmclw]

@SusieMGoss Mum was just digging the earth behind the tree and came across them, reckons she threw away about four at the weekend before I spotted this one today. Right kind of soil and right kind of host tree, no idea how they got there! (I’ve learned a lot about truffles this evening)

[Dr Madeline White @madmclw]

Update: truffle discovery necessitated homemade pasta with truffle shavings for dinner, photographed here with the tree whence the truffles came

[Dr Madeline White @madmclw]

The ‘courage’ of multi millionaires who sit at home in their literal castles punching down at marginalised people on Twitter pales in comparison to the genuine courage of trans children who show up for school every day.

[Dr Madeline White @madmclw]

There are a few weeks left of the tour, if you want to catch it in London, Wolverhampton or Bromley before the end of the month. Would recommend. https://t.co/sxzCCEq2Sy

[Dr Madeline White @madmclw]

Bought tickets to see @animalfarmstage on a bit of a whim a few months ago. An excellent decision, turns out. Cast, crew and production team have created something quite outstanding. Really powerful storytelling and artistry on display @marlowetheatre tonight. Thank you all 👏

Enter the Treasures Gallery on the upper ground floor of the @britishlibrary and on your left you’ll find a pair of headphones. Through it you can listen to the only extant recording of Virginia Woolf’s voice, the writer who died on this day 81 years ago.

Read this utterly delightful blog post from Jim for a story that reinforces the power of music and demonstrates in a single recording the importance of the Unlocking our Sound Heritage project #UOSH @BLSoundHeritage

@tasha_kitcher I watch Parks and Rec in its entirety on like a monthly basis and I now have a (pretty cool) civil service job, what does that say about me?

[Dr Madeline White @madmclw]

‘We appreciate that comedy is subjective but in our view when punchlines are indistinguishable from the genuinely-held views of fascists and Neo-Nazis, a line has very clearly been crossed.’ This. Genocide is not a punchline, not now not ever.

[The Traveller Movement @GypsyTravellerM]

We've launched a petition to Netflix calling for the removal of the segments of His Dark Material which celebrates the Romani genocide.

Join with us to send @NetflixUK a clear message: #StopTravellerHate
