We are launching a new Winter Coat Swap at Orkney Library & Archive. If you have any winter coats you no longer need we'd be delighted to have them.
We're looking for coats to fit any age and size, adult or child, as long as they are in good, clean condition ready for wearing. 🧥 #GreenLibraries

Completely agree - @zackpolanski.bsky.social is spot on (again!!) - it’s our BBC and it’s important.
Whatever faults it has are fixable but only if it still exists.
Also can’t overstate the value of BBC radio, a lifeline for some and just great entertainment -love Radio3 @tommckinney.bsky.social

There's lots you can and should criticise the BBC for.
But it's our BBC - and it's important.
Great to speak to CNN - Donald Trump shouldn't have his hands anywhere near our public services.

Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"
"This is sociopathic behaviour"
"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"
"I'm not a fan of Trump"
Christiane Amanpour, "It's pretty clear"

Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the last two years.
According to the UN, October was the deadliest month for settler violence since it started keeping track in 2006.
End the occupation.

It's October and next week the clocks go back as we slowly slide towards the days of shorter light.
So we're delighted that next week we'll be launching our Wintering Well Boxes, which are FREE loanable kits containing SAD therapy lamps, activity guides and other resources.

Happy to know my latest blood donation went to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary - #NHS #GiveBlood such a great service and so important to keep it free to use. Also if you haven’t tried donating blood, I can recommend it - even for someone scared of needles the staff make it so easy plus there’s snacks!

Just finished reading #readinglessons - found it on kindle - just brilliant, a great reminder of why we love to read and, as someone who taught for a few years, captures so well the essence of teaching.
How better to spend Saturday morning than with my amazingly talented friend Carol Atherton and having her sign the wonderful paperback edition of #ReadingLessons coming in paperback from @penguinbooks.bsky.social @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social on 6th March?
One of my books of the year in 2024!

No idea what any of this means but I’m super impressed - and knowing that scientists are pushing boundaries of knowledge is exciting and hopeful. Thank you for sharing x
Inclusive B-meson flavour-tagging algorithm at LHCb arxiv.org/abs/2508.20180 - This new algorithm improves the tagging power by 35% for B0 mesons and 20% for B0s mesons when compared to the combined performance of the existing LHCb flavour-tagging algorithms.
