After the 220th anniversary of Trafalgar, I'm thinking of the little girl taken to see HMS Victory & bought a book on Nelson.

27ish years later I've lectured internationally, including Antarctica & the Falkland Islands. I've delivered talks for the Royal Navy & taught at the US Naval Academy 🧵

The sighs emitted by this dog. Surrounded by toys, 3-4 walks a day, all the snacks, has claimed most of the household furniture as his own, and contributes nothing to the mortgage or bills...

What ails you, my little freeloader?

Cruelly dragged from Greece as a stray to live a life of hardship 🙄

I genuinely never understood why people like any of these films, and I was always deeply concerned about the person who came up with the challenges for the films? I feel like they must be secret serial killers

Bodleian Art, Archaeology, and Ancient World Library @bodartlib.bsky.social · Sep 23

Watery environments don't usually mix well with libraries, but we've found a way to make it work!

"Decks and Wrecks: a Voyage through Maritime Art and Archaeology" is now available for you to peruse on the ground floor.

A collection of books arranged on a table, all on the subject of maritime art and archaeology

Every time you use stupid ChatGPT, a thing that I once saw get a long multiplication sum wrong, it uses ten times as much electricity as searching the same thing on Google and the server cooling systems mean each use consumes half a litre of water.

Well see this is what I mean I got loads of really good advice from a senior partner I know at HFW yesterday. So I know the options, I'm just trying to find somebody who might have already done it

Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ @kejamieson.bsky.social · 20d

Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ @kejamieson.bsky.social · 20d
