History, mysteries, swamp goth, truth telling, I WILL post pictures of an insect I saw. I work in conservation, heritage, natural history, museums, and libraries. Writing from Wonnarua Country.
We the digitisers, we did this to ourselves. Well, those of us that decided that creating a copy was more valuable than keeping the paper. Look what that idea has wrought.
Dr. Jeroen W.P. WijnendaeleNo longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
I'm trying to remember what thing I used to attend at the baths. Possibly the Socialist Choir? Such a gem of a place.
Katherine MackinnonWhat a treat to hear such a beautiful range of voices expertly woven together by Flora Zajicek to tell the story of Govanhill Baths, inc @lucyjanes.bsky.social & Niall Murphy, the mighty @damedenisemina.bsky.social and loads of local organisers and residents.

🔞Riley: Bigger Than Ever🔞Shit like this should be so easy to beat. How is it political if several opposing parties support pride? Oh there's just the one party that doesn't? Sounds like removing it is the political act.

My one hope for the afterlife is I can come back as a ghost and just look at and hang around all the messed up weirdos in the deep ocean.
Natasha KindredHorrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.
I have pined after travel agents for years now
Rob SheridanSaw a meme of GenZ baffled by how pre-internet travel worked, and realized we’ve crossed an enshittification threshold where IRL services that once seemed outdated, like travel agents, now seem luxurious: “You meet with a human expert who plans out your whole trip with you” sounds incredible now tbh
