A child at Alder Hey hospital has died of measles. The tragic death came less than a week after medical officials at the children’s hospital warned that cases of the virus were on the rise, severely endangering the health of some of those affected. 🧵 www.alderhey.nhs.uk/... 1/10

Alice Clark, a doctor and volunteer for the medical charity Doctors Without Borders, waits to be arrested as a terrorist for holding up a sign opposing the genocide in Gaza and the proscription of Palestine Action. It is strange with how little note a country may drift into authoritarianism.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. We scoured the archives to find our best medieval bats in the rocker’s honour. #MedievalMonday. 1. Bodleian Library MS. Canon. Misc. 554 2: Bodleian Library MS. Ashmole 304. 3: Bodleian Library MS. Bodl. 764. 4: Bodleian Library MS. Ashmole 1511.
Illuminated bat from the Ashmole bestiary showing a bat on a gold background inside a red and green frame. The bat is brown with black wings and cartoonish, with incongrously detailed human-looking facial features.Three outlines of three bats as marginalia in a yellowed page from a Bodleian manuscript. The bat marginalia are hastily drawn (likely added by a different hand than the scribe who wrote and illustrated the rest of the text). The bats have simplistic facial expresisons; one has two eyes and a straight line for a mouth, the second has a soft smile, and the third has something between the two.A page from a bestiary showing Latin text and a black bat illustration in an embossed gold square. The bats wings look feathered and the shape is bird like, suggesting whoever drew it may not have seen a bat up close before.An immediately strange looking illustration from a medieval Paduan text. A bat flies above an illustration of a man, and both are roughly the same size. The bat has cat like legs and a long tail, and is shaped like a winged rat.

In 1923, David Bomberg travelled to Palestine. Overcome by the light and colour found in the old city, compared to London and the aftermath of WW1, he wrote: ‘I was a poor boy from the East End and I’d never seen sunlight before.' 'Rock Façade, Petra, Afternoon,' is from 1924.
