Librarians, book preservationists, historians: what's the best practice for caring responsibly for very old books? I have some and I don't want them to accrue damage on my watch.

Den nächsten Youtuber der mir Anfang Januar mit offenem Mund ein "das müsst ihr unbedingt jetzt schon aussäen" Video in die TL ballert, werde ich melden und blocken.

Just sayin.

Today I worked on a desk that is almost a hundred years old.
It was commissioned in the late 1920s or early ’30s by my grandfather, for his sons. One of them was my father. It’s made of walnut, built in a workshop somewhere in Muntenia, in a time when objects were meant to last.

This desk has travelled through three generations, through houses, wars, relocations, and decades of quiet persistence. My grandfather touched it, then my father, and now it’s the surface where I write.
There’s a small crack on the top — old wood has its own memory. I don’t hide it; it’s part of the story.

When I rest my hand on it, I feel a steady line stretching back through the people who came before me. Not nostalgia, but orientation.
A reminder that I’m not starting from nothing.
That I belong to a thread that continued, even when lives became complicated or broke apart.

This desk is not furniture. It’s a witness. It’s the only family object that still works alongside me, almost a century later.

The photo will come later.
I just wanted to write this down first — a note to myself, at a time when I need to remember that some things do remain steady in this world.

got some #bowls that my grandparents owned, and some of those were ones that might have been new in the 1920s, '30s, or '40s. But I think some of them were ones that they got from their parents or grandparents, that are from the 1800s. They become family #heirlooms.
