If you think this giant helicopter seed is unusual, you should see what else we've been digitising recently!👀👉 ow.ly/63CL50U4eoC #DigitalCollections #Digitisation

I really needed to know that an outstanding, hard-working, accomplished, decent woman of colour could beat a terrible, idiotic, lazy white man. Yet again, the world has proven this is not possible. We never even get close. If I ever get off the floor, where do we go from here?
