Dawson’s Creek was my entire teenage years. I was obsessed in that unique teenage girl obsession way. I can’t believe James Van Der Beek has died. Cancer can absolutely fuck right off.

The NFL: overall, wish it wasn’t a thing. But props to them for green lighting Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Magnificent. Gives me a glimmer of hope

The dog doesn’t let me go to many exhibitions anymore (such a tyrant) but I made it to this one and omg, so glad I did. Just exquisite. To see them next to each other & read about their respective careers. Top notch (I say this as the most basic art person you’ll ever meet).

Today we launched our Digital Collections Portal. A platform to provide access to our born digital collections. postalmuseum.access.preservica.com/portal #digipres #access

I had the loveliest dream about someone I love who died & we sat on a sofa & chatted and caught up about life. It wasn’t like they weren’t here anymore, almost like they’d just been in another room. I truly believe their spirit is still with me & it’s nice to check in from time to time 🩶

On this day in 1912 the British Polar Party headed by Captain Scott reached the South Pole.

My barometer of how light it’s getting is not having to put the dog’s light up collar on for his late afternoon walk 👏🏻

The Life of Chuck & People We Meet on Vacation are two very good, very watchable Netflix film recs

Does anyone know of any large collections of correspondence between women covering the 1910s-1960s? I have surveyed a huge collection covering 30+ years of friendship and I’m wondering how unique it is?

Listening to my dog snoring next to me is so cute. Yet, if it were my husband, all I’d want to do is gently poke him in the ribs to make it stop. The dog is definitely spoilt.

Hey Bluesky, send us your best ducks (Happy #InternationalUnsolicitedDuckPicDay to all who celebrate)

This year we chose to go somewhere smaller for our annual winter lights outing & @gilbertwhites.bsky.social did not disappoint! With the added bonus of the trail starting through the house & a focus on trying to minimise the impact of the lights on the environment with UV torches to use outside.

Seeing the Eras tour at Wembley was genuinely one of the highlights of my life and the docuseries they’ve released on Disney of it is everything I need rn (100% would recommend watching the final night show if you have Disney)

At the point where I’m just defrosting & eating random freezer bingo.

Instagram is my social media of choice but I can’t stand the last two weeks of the year. Too much “look at all I achieved this year” & “look at all my resolutions for the new year”. I just want the yeah, my year was average, no I don’t have resolutions apart from to get through the new year vibes

The trackpad on my work laptop is on its way out. Which would be fine normally, but this time of year is not generally my finest moment, so all I want to do is throw the laptop out of the window (which I think is probably frowned upon)

Gets kicked out of a pub at 2pm for being too rowdy 😂
