It's husky weather time!

Hokusai: Thirty-six views of Mt. Fuji from the Iuchi Collection See the complete series of one of the most celebrated image cycles in art history, inviting visitors to experience Mount Fuji as Hokusai saw it nearly two centuries ago.

And if you really can't get enough Hokusai, the rumour is that @dulwichgallery.bsky.social will _also_ have a show of his prints opening on 20th October 😍 www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/hok... #artrecs #japaneseart #hokusai

And there's further floating world action at the Whitworth, Manchester, in their show focusing more on prints - and they also have a copy of "Under the great wave of Kanagawa"! 🌊 Until 15th of November. www.whitworth.manchester.ac.uk/whats-on/exh... #artrecs #japaneseart #hiroshigae #hokusai

Reflect on this floating world at #York Art Gallery's beautiful show , 'Making Waves' until 30 Aug. Classic prints, books, kimono and weapons, and even a Japanese garden - sugoi! www.yorkartgallery.org.uk/exhibition/m... #artrecs #hokusai #hiroshigae #japaneseart

How are we approaching identification, selection, #appraisal in #digitalpreservation right now? Which reference documents are we using? And what does 'long-term' mean anyway? 🤔 @eosc-eden.bsky.social did a survey - I've blogged about our findings: codata.org/blog/2026/03... @codata-isc.bsky.social

Passionate about digital curation and preservation?
@ubuit.bsky.social has two open positions for staff members to contribute to their work on the EOSC EDEN and FIDELIS projects! The positions are temporary until December 2027. EOI deadline 16 March. More info: nettskjema.no/a/603699#/pa...

It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored.

People's work is not the government's to give away.

If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP!

Getting off US tech: a guide I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

That right calf / shin problem seems to be holding him back 😟
