Historic England outsourced their digital image provision to a third-party company. Then the company went bust and now all their images are inaccessible. Tell me again how outsourcing to the private sector is sustainable?

When at the end of 1939 Walter Benjamin was advised to get out of Paris, he instead renewed his library card. He died #OnThisDay in 1940, fleeing from the Nazis. He was one of the great cultural critics of the 20th century

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

We've decided to start a discussion series. Lunchtimes once a month, to remember why we 'do heritage' all welcome, please share with students and networks.
Poster for a discussion series. Text reads:

ButCH/*

Bureau for the Contemporary & Historic

Bureau Bites!

JOIN US AT THE BUREAU FOR A MONTHLY LUNCHTIME BITE

13.15-14.00

Join: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/353204848682706?p=kTQLxkqUay7odEGmUi

Meeting ID: 353 204 848 682 706

Passcode: 72My9df2

Start your week with us in the Bureau for our new series, Bureau Bites. These informal, 45min online gatherings are open to all, whether you're a postgraduate student, a heritage manager or a senior consultant. Keep an eye on our LinkedIn account where we'll post a link to a short text (30 min read) the week before we meet. We understand how dynamic, energetic and enterprising (ie busy) we all are so please join the conversation even you haven't been able to make time to read and reflect in advance. Readings will be a mix of websites, blogs, reports, excerpts from academic papers.

The aim is to reconnect us with our communities of practice and to create space for the kind of thinking we might not be able to do on the daily grind. We invite participants to start a light-touch reflective journal to help document these conversations, which you may find useful in your work.

These gatherings also mark the start of ButCH's journey towards being a business partnership and launch of our redesigned website https://37looestreet.org/home/butch/

Monday, 12 October: Does heritage really matter?

Monday, 9 November: When loss is more!

Monday, 7 December: Beyond engagement? Art, heritage and placemaking

Monday, 11 January: Strategies, frameworks and plans why have them?

Monday, 8 February: Nothing ages faster than the future

Monday, 8 March: Place, land and more-than-human interve

Monday, 5 April: 'No, I don't want to do workshops with NEETs! Beyond instrumentalising heritage 

Monday, 10 May: Not another toolkit! Working with creative approaches to unblock cross-sector heritage research, management and policy

Pausing doomscrolling to read Gerard Manley Hopkins has been found to decrease heart rate and increase life expectancy by 15-20 years
As Kingfishers Catch Fire
By Gerard Manley Hopkins

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying Whát I dó is me: for that I came.

I say móre: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: thát keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is —
Chríst — for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.

If you've been focused on the (cough) 'restraint' of the policing of far-right vigilances over the weekend, you may have missed Staffordshire Police arresting two women, one in her 70s, outside an Elbit subsidiary. They've also fined 5 car drivers for tooting their horn in support of recent protests

I know what happened in Dover and Portsmouth has a lot of people saying UK counterterrorism is unfit for purpose. But I think this actually shows it is working exactly as it intended, and the government's non- answers just confirm this. UK Counterterrorism is a tool for racialised social control.

A number of authors have received emails claiming to be from Stig Abell of Times Radio, inviting them to discuss their book in a radio interview. These messages are sent from a Gmail address rather than an official Times Radio email account and request a fee to participate in the interview and an associated 'Author Spotlight' feature.
