Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

I wonder @folklorepod.bsky.social if you know of any books specifically about the folklore of birds in the British Isles? Of course we know the magpie rhyme but there must be other stuff (wrens in Ireland, robin redbreast aside).

PROTESTANTS HATE ABBA, pass it on x
Rewatching Derry Girls and I still marvel at how well it captures the mid-90s. I was a teenager at the same time, albeit in Yorkshire, and so much is just spot on.

I asked my Lithuanian colleague about this and she said it's nothing to do with the doll- apparently it's from the 19thC and was coined because of it rhyming as a phrase
The Lithuanian for ‘Jack of All Trades’ is 'Barbie Nine Jobs’.

I think Smiths/early solo era Morrissey is one of the most clever and interesting lyricists. I also thank the stars that Johnny Marr is applying an excellent person
