Off to present at my first conference. There’s no better birthday present than forcing a lecture hall of people listen to my voice for 30 mins

Importantly, in removing the mannequins from the museum we’ve learned that I’d make an absolutely spectacular mother superior 🙏🏻
A white woman stands in an office space, she is wearing a black robe, black cloak, and a white balaclava-like garment, all previously worn by a nun mannequin in a museum. She looks thrilled (not sarcastic).

I first saw The Wombats at the Biv in Lincoln when I was about 14. Seeing them last night, eighteen years later, still gave me the same joy

I’ve started setting aside one day a month to wrap/repackage collections. These anatomical atlases have each been cleaned and given bespoke wraps and are ready to be re-shelved!

Lunchtime trip to the Barbican Music Library to see the emo retrospective - I'm Not Okay. Quite jarring seeing the phone I had as a teenager in a museum display but I am just radiating nostalgia right now 🤘🎸
A glass museum display case filled with CD cases, posters, old digital cameras, 2000's era mobile phones, a pink Nintendo DS, and a selection of iPods. A close up of a museum display case showing magazine articles and front covers of the band My Chemical Romance. A wall mounted museum display case filled with paper concert tickets. Poster for the exhibition in the window of the library.
