Many early films created at the beginning of the 20thc were made in colour and one of the first careers in film production for artistic women was hand painting in film-colouring workshops #WomensArt

I did think that it was unusual to have two babies in a drama go to term, so I was expecting one of them not to - but then I got to thinking about the last Ambridge baby… was it Martha?! We definitely need some new babies!

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

#medlibs - this was a generated response to a query I have often used as one test to see how the commercially available LLMs are dealing with less straightforward MeSH terms, and the Claude (Sonnet 5) output got it in one. Need to find new test terms 🙂

From my own experience of grief, be kind to yourself and take it all slowly. One step at a time. Some mornings you won’t feel like doing very much at all, and that’s OK.

Thinking about it, this might be my most favourite Cary dramatic performance (not including the Hitchcocks because they are comedic, like all the best Carys). His performance as a new dad who doesn’t know what the hell is going in is perfect really.
