Alright folks, let's do an #introduction. I'm a big old #nerd who loves #gaming in many forms. I love #reading #books and watching #movies #tv and #anime. I work in #healthcare and basically shoot lasers at people. I'm living that #momlife and liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Part of the #twitterexodus and a refugee from the #hellsite #tumblr. Feel free to follow but don't expect coherence

I'm popular on #tumblr! So many young women of the form FirstnameLastnameDigits have been following me!
Odd none of them post anything. Must be a tumblr thing...
A swift #introduction for anyone who is new here - I’m Dr Dan O’Brien, historian of undertakers, funerals and death in eighteenth century England. I can often be found talking about early undertakers or researching their ephemera. I also enjoy sharing mourning jewellery, cemetery trips and other death-related items from history such as this striking rosary bead. Hopefully you will join me for more adventures in death history! #MementoMori #history #histodons #cemetery #twittermigration

Note that this does include an extended plug by Bart Ehrman for one of his (many) courses. Which is fine, really, but fair warning.
Are you having trouble parsing through your Gmail for purchase receipts and order shipments because advertisements conveniently include those keywords?
Did you already build a massive filter for known subject lines like me but need a hand in keeping up with new ones around the holiday season?
TIL category:purchases exists, and it gets you a long way.
Linda reviews "Librarian" by Brian fence, Lenna's Arc book 1: "Twenty-two-year-old Lenna Faircloth lives with her dad, a clockworks craftsman... I enjoyed the story. Betrayal, lies, secrets, magic and political intrigue all rear their ugly heads while Lenna tries to survive it all. This is just the beginning of Lenna’s journey. I look forward to the second book in the series! Four stars."
