I want to send holiday/Christmas cards again this year I think!!

If we're mutuals please leave a comment here and I'll get back to you in a few weeks for your address. Any country, no need to reciprocate, not strictly Xmas-themed unless I know you're into it x

To be fair though, having worked for a handful of nationals, this checks out

So the place was busy and everything looked BAU when we went on a whim yesterday with our MA passes - but British Library PCS staff are actually on strike until next week. I've just donated to the PCS strike fund: www.pcs.org.uk/donate

I'm hearing reports that it's advent calendar purchasing szn

Also this late 15th-century guy in the Treasures gallery had no reason to be this caked up?

An illustration in a veterinary book of a man tending to two horses in front of a tower in which there are three women by the window. He's in old-timey tights and his ass is something to behold

Secret Maps at the BL has loads of interesting things but my god it's a long one - I hit museum fatigue at the textbook 45-minute mark and we were only like 2/3 in. Try going at the beginning of your day imo

A folded printed document; here's what the text panel read:

WAR STAFF INDIA OFFICE

British India. 1946

The partition of British India in 1947 into the
new nations of India and Pakistan resulted
in massive displacement and loss of life.

The report cast doubt on the future feasibility of Pakistan from a military and economic point of view.

In 1946, this map was produced showing
different potential boundary lines between the new countries, drawn by hand in black ink.

The map accompanied this top-secret report commissioned by Earl Wavell, the Viceroy and Governor General of India, which investigated the potential impacts of partition on a newly created Pakistan.

A very old aerial-view map with trees and forest and maybe a river or road? Text panel read:

Central Mexico, around 1555

This map deliberately balances disclosure
and concealment. It was created by Indigenous peoples for a lawsuit against colonial abuses and blends European cartographic conventions with ancestral visual languages, strategically
revealing just enough to support legal claims while protecting knowledge of valuable local resources.

It comes from the Codex Tepetlaoztoc,
created around 1555 and depicts the region
around Tepetlaoztoc, in the eastern Valley
of Mexico.

Codex Tepetlaoztoc (Codex Kingsborough)
British Museum

I'm a fan of thinking of something they like and then sending different kinds of it - chocolate, sweets, tea, tiny jams or honey, perfume samples, pens, bougie travel soaps, nail polishes and decals, whatever. Something for them to try over the coming days and weeks and update me on their faves

Not me going to a very early American Thanksgiving dinner (host, American, will be out of town later) and expecting things I've seen in movies but know don't actually exist, such as marshmallow on sweet potato

Thread of exhibitions I saw in October which are still on - a short one this month due to holiday and then injury, but like I've said before, these are just to give art shows a modicum of visibility on this app

A thread of exhibitions I've seen which are still on - reposting some August ones as I crammed 5-6 now-closed shows in September and the new season has barely started

I'm going to be the change I want to see, so: London museum and gallery exhibitions I saw in August which I believe are still on, a thread

If that hasn't put you off niche perfumery yet there's another sample in here that's labelled "gummy bear barf", which I will be trying on Sunday probably

Marie-Claire @marieclaire.bsky.social · 6d

ok aside from the first whiff which to be fair is on me - the standfirst or whatever on that label was a true "dead dove do not eat" - the real horror is that the dirty patchouli mid/base note is just not washing off

My monthly perfume sample packs arrived a little late this month and it's horror-themed and oh my god lmao I'm gonna try it on now
