sorry guys- I'm deleting this account - not only do I have too many followers in 48 hrs to block them- I've also had arseholes ask "why dont you want followers?" Never had this problem on the bad place or any other socials- it's just not a safe space. I'll follow a select few with a new account

Already feel like I need to delete this account? Too many randoms that I dont know trying to follow me.

ok, so I usually dont let anyone follow me that I havent met in real life/on zoom/read their work. Gonna be a massive block party later this week.

I've deliberately kept my Bluesky free of DPOs, carers groups, etc
Still bracing myself for Patronising Purple day.

you have about 24hrs left to watch this fantastic bit of theatre for free on YouTube.

Great to get such lovely response to the free screenings of NYE on YouTube. Glad you enjoyed. X

My local war memorial has a copy of the Dupplin Cross - Why have I never noticed? A. this is Strathclyde so an unexpected choice. B. Always rushing past for a train!

sitting texting a pal last night, banshee wails from outside, "oopsy, forgot to feed the foxes" but no- it was WWF smackdown between a fox & next door's cat. The ragin' fox then spent ages sat glaring at me from "yer tea's oot corner" as if the late dinner was the cause of the conflict.

A drumlin in a lakeland/marshy landscape, pearshaped boundary, mix of Early Medieval cross shafts and Early Modern momento mori- Old Galloon graveyard in Fermanagh is reminding me of somewhere else beginning with "G" 😉

so turns out Northern Ireland Historic Environment Dept have 19th c bricks made in Govan in their stores

@justrena.bsky.social excellent talk- need to do a longer version for Pictish Arts Society? I like the idea of comparing Pict mirror carvings with Iron Age mirror art to aid dating- there's something in that!

The library is a rich resource for anyone researching British and Irish #localhistory. But we also have local history holdings in many other collections, including Germany, Latin America, Italy and US States to name a few. Browse the library pages to find out more www.history.ac.uk/library-digi...

Thoroughly recommend #Nye streaming for free on YouTube just now. Magnificent piece of theatre and so relevant- a reminder some of us just want everyone to be looked after. Why has that always been such a bad thing?

The Lorna formerly known as a Librarian is pure loving the Library Scene in #Nye

includes code for £ off the full streaming service- NT streams got me through lockdown. It's not all Shakespeare (although the midsummer nights dream production was fab)

Summary of September 2024 finds- still haven't found the floor of this structure, but it shows signs of repeated reworking of it's doorways.

smashing article on eastern links with the Island of Britain the-past.com/feature/from...

having started with a positive post- main interests are early medieval history, particularly carved stones, Kingdom of Strathclyde, and textiles. But with forays into many related side-quests! No interest in Post 19th c history or US history at all, finding this place frustrating!

It may have been the wettest summer in years, but my hydrangeas are loving it! So many flowers!
