Today is the 70th Anniversary of D-Day:
the Allied invasion of Normandy, France , that led to the restoration of the French Republic, and contributed to an Allied victory in the war.
Staff in the Conservation Lab recently worked on this D-Day map. The map was distorted and torn and could not be safely accessed by a researcher. A conservator humidified, flattened and mended the map.

Elvis the Siamese Will Not Be Ignored
Georgia’s nine year old Siamese cat, Elvis, does not stand for being ignored. This video is just a small glimpse of what goes on when Georgia tries to work from home.

In before anyone says, “But Bark, a 2000×3700 GIF doesn’t make any sense!”:
It’s literally poster sized.
overly-ambitious art ideas
this picture is 2000×3700 pixels and I have managed to fill every square inch of it with scribbles
i will be so proud of myself if I can actually finish this beast because I usually give up on things like this
At first I thought that picture of Hank Hill was 2000×3700.

I think the ‘remember their sacrifice’ joke was referencing the fact that the reason Doughnut Day is a thing was because doughnuts were delivered to soldiers going through hell to give them some relief. So the doughnuts were ‘sacrificed’ to help miserable soldiers feel a little better, yeah?
yeeeah I still wouldn’t parallel donuts and soldiers when it comes to sacrifices… it was a bad tag and hopefully tumblr took it out of the rotation.
Yeaah, it’s a bit skeezy. I’ve not seen the line myself and I’ve been refreshing for the last ten minutes to find it, so hopefully it has been removed! ;v;
I can actually confirm its a thing:
I’m just assuming that someone didn’t realize today was D-Day (I honestly forgot myself, even after just reading about it last week.)
