Vote with your $$$ ! #resistance!

Happy #InternationalSlothDay!

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the sloths, for today is their special day!

This woodcut of a sloth* was printed in 1635 in 'Historia Naturae, Maxime Peregrinae' by Juan Eusebio Nieremberg.

* may it not haunt your nightmares

#InternationalSlothDay

Woodcut illustration of a sloth. It has shaggy fur, long front legs, short back legs, and long claws. The expression on its face is a mixture of startled and weary.

A digital dark age? The people rescuing forgotten knowledge trapped on old floppy disks

From lectures by Stephen Hawking to the letters of British politician Neil Kinnock – it's a race against time to save the historical treasures locked away on old floppy disks.

Having spent summer in and out of docs' offices, I won't leave home without one! 🤣

Current read - #RayBradbury Something Wicked This Way Comes = performative #Halloween! 🎃

Are you an actual #book nerd or are you just 'performative #reading'? www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

Are you an actual book nerd, or are you just 'performative reading'?

Reading in public has become meme fodder online. Some longtime book lovers say the scrutiny has made their hobby come off as a performance.

Excellent riff on #vampires (& Mina doesn't wimp all through it!)
for more #Pratchett #Halloween adjacent:
Wyrd Sisters = Macbeth
Witches Abroad = the Brothers Grimm
Maskerade = Phantom of the Opera
Lords and Ladies = a picture of elves that would give #Tolkein nightmares! 🤣

Discworld Calendar - October 2003
Carpe Jugulum by David Frankland
A good picture for spooky season, as vampires fly past the moon and most of the picture has details in stark black and white.

Monochrome and silhouettes against a dark blue sky with a massive, full moon. To the right a dark, clifftop castle, surrounded by bats. The road slopes downwards from there and a black, funereal coach pulled by two black horses is being driven furiously by a hunchbacked driver. Flying above, mostly silhouetted across the moon, are four humanoid figures with bat-like wings or capes. In the distance downhill, bathed in moonlight, are fields and a raised citadel.
