Hi folks,
Here's another update for you.

I'm particularly chuffed to see others start to pick up the
#FundFreeCulture hashtag on Twitter. Not many others, to be honest, but
some!

Pornography

Created a new genre for this:

And I suppose this is as good a time as any to reiterate that while the
FOSsil Bank exercises some mild curatorial discretion with regards to the
quality of entries (the rule is basically: 'If you can be bothered adding
it to the wiki, it's probably noteworthy enough/complete enough/good enough
to stay there'), it does not examine or endorse the pages that it links to.
Some may contain graphic, adult or offensive content.
