Greetings from Kyiv
Today, on International Women’s Day, I chose to honor them: mothers, wives and girlfriends of missing soldiers.
I visited the exhibition “Status: Missing. My State: Waiting (Love You).”
The exhibits were created by those who wait and love 💔

Just thinking how well they knew you!
The sort of vibes I get from this is for a safe deposit box type thingy where two people unlock it with two separate keys, almost in a sort of ritual.
The #18thC equivalent of those Instagram posts "today I saw my book being printed".
What a lovely thing.

A close-up of a person wearing teal gloves holding a small metal type punch engraved with an ampersand symbol. In the background, part of the person’s face is softly out of focus.
A bearded man wearing teal gloves uses a green rubber air blower to clean a small metal type punch. He sits at a desk with an open wooden case filled with neatly arranged metal punches, while a computer monitor displaying a magnified image is visible in the background.
🔎 Rare 18th-century punches used to create the original Baskerville typeface have been digitised and released online.
Designers, historians and the wider public now have the opportunity to study the physical tools that shaped modern typography.

Fairly sure the "craggy rocks" are brown paper!
Hi all, today marks the end of my time as a postdoc for the Punch's Pocket Book Archive project. I'm not 100% sure what's next, big picture, but in the meantime here's a post I wrote last month about #19thC Crystal Palace dinosaurs, ht @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social for info 🦖🦕

Gemini, divide yourself by zero...
Cat food has to come first. This has been made quite clear to me! 😼
As if generative AI gender bias wasn't bad enough, I was appalled to read that iterative AI has showed gender bias with cancer detection.
I think it was Erasmus who said that if he had any money he bought books, and if there was anything left over he bought food. 😄
Regardless of the White Paper’s merits, today may be a difficult day for SEN parents in your life. Please be nice to them. It is hard to see these conversations carried out mostly by politicians/media with zero idea of the agony, humiliation & expense involved in fighting for your child’s rights.
Excellent! Congratulations!
Ha!
I like the new variation on that:
