@HSBC_UK I was just asked to create a new pin on the banking app. Just checking this is a genuine request.

@marksandspencer I got to try one packet in November, and now I wish I didn’t know what I was missing because they were SO good! Please bring them back next year with more stock! 😋

@willaurason Hello Laura. Our chocolate tortillas have been hugely popular this year and we've sold out now in almost all stores. We still have lots of Christmas snacks and treats in store to choose from. I hope you can find something else you'll enjoy 😀 Emma

@marksandspencer why can’t I find the chocolate covered tortillas anywhere? Must have tried about six stores in different counties now!

@Ellie_AA87 I can ask some friends at Emory and Fisk. DM me what you need there and I can reach out.

Hello #twitterstorians I'm looking 4 someone to do a bit of archival research for me (paid, I don't have much but can pay what would be standard) in the following places if anyone's interested/ knows someone who might please share with them - UMASS - Emory - Fisk Many thanks!

@currys ordered an in stock fridge 29th Sep w/delivery confirmation of 18th Oct. Yesterday get text to say it’s awaiting supplier stock. Called Customer Service for an update who say there is no estimated date for stock and I should have been emailed. I wasn’t. Awful supply chain

@AmyClukey They needed to provide the adversity for you to face first 🤦🏼‍♀️

@HelsinHashtags Next week the dog will be a swan.

George Washington Carver, widely known for his groundbreaking agricultural research, was also an accomplished artist. Before his scientific career at Tuskegee Institute, Carver studied art and piano at Simpson College, where his talent for painting plants earned him recognition. His art teacher, Etta Budd, encouraged him to explore botany, leading to his eventual focus on agricultural science. Carver's innovative work with peanuts and sweet potatoes led to the creation of over 400 products, including plant-based paints, which he used in his artwork, blending his passions for science and art.

@eon_next My app isn’t letting me in - been getting this error message for hours.

This #LaborDay, we honor the heroic efforts of American workers participating in labor movements. In response to African American exclusion from labor organizations, Black workers created all-Black unions that championed their members’ class & racial interests. #ANationsStory

Artist Sonya Clark ingeniously crafted this portrait of Madam C. J. Walker from three thousand plastic combs. Walker, born to formerly enslaved parents in Louisiana in 1867, built an empire of black hair-care products and is often credited as the U.S.'s first female self-made millionaire. This artwork is featured in Clark's retrospective 'We Are Each Other' at the Museum of Arts and Design, on view until September 22.

@AldiUK I didn’t realise the inside of a pineapple was supposed to look like this…

@AldiUK Again that’s a bit vague as to whether it’s still made or out of stock nationwide... I may have to switch back to the non-Aldi version.

@willaurason We will do our very best to see it back on sale! - Diarmiad

@AldiUK Have you discontinued the Biscuit Tea? 😭😭

@AldiUK That doesn’t sound too certain! Hope to see it back on shelves soon.

@willaurason Might just be supply. We've let the team know! Thanks - Cameron

@AldiUK Just been into a different store and no biscuit tea there either - is there a supply issue at the moment, or is it actually discontinued?

@willaurason I will pass this back to our team and see if we can get more in ASAP! - Diarmiad

@AldiUK Oh thats great to hear! An assistant in my store said it was discontinued and I’ve not seen it in there for a couple of weeks.

@willaurason Certainly not! Keep an eye out and it should pop back on the shelves shortly! - Diarmiad

@AmyClukey I definitely will! And will also mention that there’s a US market who can no longer get it on Amazon but want to. Maybe it’ll return for you to assign the next time the course runs. 🤞🏻

@AmyClukey I can still get it on the BL store website and I have seen it in the Library shop recently. I can definitely ask someone in Publishing why it’s out of print in the US though if that would help? Where did you find it listed as out of print? The anthologies are so good!

@AmyClukey I own this book *and* work for the BL who publishes it - let me know how I can help!
