Like many of us, I'm ditching this dystopian hellscape in favour of Bluesky. Find me at: bsky.app/profile/bekkhilde.b…
It'll mostly be photos of fun books, broadsides etc from the library.
For anything band-related, we're on Insta:

Desperately sad news.
Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context.
Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them.
Having spent many hours behind the scenes in this one, poring over skeletal collections at National Museum Wales, working with archaeologists there, my heart is riven by this sad news.

Blown away by such a wonderful review for our debut @CruelMotherBand EP 🥹
Review | @CruelMotherBand – Cut Down For The Earth by @dominichemy. "The marriage of old traditional English murder ballads with the funereal despair of doom metal brings such joy in its fresh perspective." echoesanddust.com/2024/04/cr…
I thought this was a parody (cf. Mariella Dudley-Terfington). It is not a parody.

Today I'm cataloguing this 1685 book w/ embossed covers and found out about "Dutch gilt" #bindings c.1700 (the book is Dutch but the binding is a misnomer!)
Thanks to our neighbours @LinneanSociety I should add! Always great to be learning new things 😊 linnean.org/news/2022/07/01/…
We (@CruelMotherBand) bring our murder ballads to The Ship in Croydon tomorrow, supporting two amazing bands! There are a few tickets remaining at a mere £5, which can be bought in advance by DMing The Ship on the Other Place: facebook.com/theshipcroydon
Trio of matching #GreenLung-ers up in Jorvik for some Viking festival frivolity! @greenlungband – at York, England
