Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Picked up my pre-ordered copy this week 🥳 Question is can I keep my mits off it this weekend to read it on my holibobs? 030
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I'll tell you what's especially sad; there's lots of great *real* photos of library-land out there that could have been crowd-sourced and used instead. May I respectfully submit LILAC2016 me doing my past faux-coy and camp "oh hello there" to the photographer. Source: www.flickr.com/photos/lilac... 5201
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The fingers are ok in this one, but I think showing double-handed note taking is setting up an impossible standard 2120
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 16/06/2026This one doesn't have the whole gang, but I just adore this photo 😍 170
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 16/06/202618 years together and we finally went ahead and did it! 💕🤵🤵🌈 Absolute joy to share an amazing weekend with my family and friends. Just about down from the clouds to get back to regular life ☁️ 12300
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 03/06/2026This keynote comes with a beautiful set of sketch notes from SketchnotesUK 💛 020
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 13/05/2026My conference buddy. He's not sat on my knee during 6 years of WFH meetings. But T-Cups is interested in ageism it seems because he is indeed a venerable man 😻 #CALC26 030
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Why do I feel like they've seen me from across the bar and dog my vibe? 🤭 010
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 31/10/2025No! bad journal, look at what you did! 020
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 02/06/2025I effing LOVE university catering. Oohhh sausage roll with "traditional dips". I wonder what the traditional dips will be??? 🤔 050
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Umm...insufficient power for both people and AI...? Seems a pretty obvious solution presents itself to me...🤷 130
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Thank you recent trip to St. Ives 😍 0201
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 17/04/2025First morning home after a brilliant #LILAC25. Had a great time learning, talking and reflecting. Thanks to @lilacconf.bsky.social for a cracking job organizing the conference, @cardiffunilib.bsky.social for hosting and all the facilities and catering staff for looking after all of us 💛 1140
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Excellent session 👏 Also an additional learning moment for me when I find out why folks look the way they look when I sing (photo 2). 172
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Feeling slightly micro-managed today 🙂↕️ 0241

Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Browning on the edges is usually lack of humidity (probably from having central heating on lately). Helps if you stand it in a dish of expanded clay pellets with water. Can't fix the already browning leaves but helps prevent new ones. 120
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 17/12/2024😱 look at these handsome fellas! marthaandhepsie.com/products/wal... 040
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Glad I left my grey cardigan on the spare bed so that my mostly white cat knew where he should lie down 🙄😚🥰 0130
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 19/11/2024We've a light dusting as far south as Warwickshire 🥶 010
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 18/11/2024I refuse to join BlueSky. I don't want to become part of an Ecco chamber. 040
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Can anyone think of a good reason why tables in journal articles are almost always formatted like this 👇 Surely I shouldn't have to use a ruler just to read across the data? Just gimme some gosh darn lines to work with! 1110
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 07/11/2024It's been a long time, but driving through Cheshire this sign never failed to put my mum in hysterics. 090
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 01/11/2024That's gorgeous 🥰 I keep making diversions through town to look at my favourite autumn tree 🍂🍁 150
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 18/10/2024and yet I love my little Potteries dialect being represented, albeit shown about x10 larger than it ought to be 🤗🫖 110
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 08/10/2024Not sure if they're on here but #LILAC2025 is going hard on next year's logo! 🤘🔥🐲🔥🤘 @jinfolit.bsky.social #LibrarySky 2141
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 03/10/2024Loving the to-do list I got in my goodie bag from @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social's book launch last night 😍 130
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 14/09/2024T-Cups says "commit to comfort" 😽 010
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 13/09/2024Haven't gymmed all week, got the day off today and it's lovely out. So I decided to run around this b*stard lake 🏃 010
Darren Flynn (he/him/his) @patchedelbows.bsky.social · 05/09/2024🥺🥺😭 (from Fact's sample chapter) 040
