Museum folks! I'm running a small, anonymous & unscientific survey about how much museums and other heritage organisations pay writers. If you have a moment, please respond, and share if you can. Thank you!

Just been told about a conference where in the lunch break they offered free winter flu vaccines to any attendees who hadn’t had one - brilliant conference freebie!

You might not have put up your decorations yet… but if you know you have some to clear out, do it now!!!!
and take them to the charity shop because there’s a good chance someone will buy them& lessen the need for the charity shop to store them for a year

Hey Ottawa folks: I gave some kids' books to Twice Upon a Time and they said they've receved fewer donations than usual for this time of year. So if you have any kids' books in good condition, or time or money to spare, here's the info:

It is the book birthday of children's book 'Where the Wild Things Are'
This was published #OTD in 1963.
It’s also world kindness day.. I’m sure there’s a moral here somewhere…
