One of the things I love about Bluesky is the amount of artists now posting on here. This stuff nourishes me :P
I finally got around to making a starter pack!!! Sorry it took me so long!!

Badass Artists Vol. 1~! Full of lovely artists whose work I freaking adore 🖤

I'll def make more at some point but here's a great place to start. Let's keep the art party going over here on Bluesky!

Every year my father-in-law migrates downunder to avoid the Scottish winter. This is awesome as we get free child care and I don't have to do the dishes for 2 months (I do all the cooking).

Today, as a treat for attending 4 hours of meetings at the National Library, I’m going to visit one of my favourite places in the world: the Heroes 4 Sale comic shop in Auckland

One thing I love about libraries is that we are often the last bastion of things capitalist society has decided are no longer selling and therefore no longer available. You currently cannot buy new copies of Redwall in NZ. But our libraries have copies, and my 9-year-old son gets to enjoy it 😀

A bit about me, since I seem to be getting back into social media. I am a digital manager at a large public library in Aotearoa New Zealand. I am a passionate advocate for libraries and the difference we can make in people's lives.

One of the strangest stories of a ruined site I’ve ever come across is the one behind the Roman Temple of Augustus in Windsor, England.

That’s because if you came here at the beginning of the 1800's, it wouldn't be there at all.
