Join #primeproduce for our First Annual #newyearseve Shell Drop on W54th St! (And #publicdomainday midnight film festival to follow!)

Doors at 9pm, and a special viewing of last year's marquee public domain film, Metropolis, starting at 10pm.

The descent of our ceremonial illuminated Cosmic Turtle over W54th St will come as the clock strikes twelve, to be followed by a midnight festival of films from 1928 legally entering the public domain on Jan 1! #nyc @internetarchive #wikimedia

This sounds good!

take a minute to say how much I love and appreciate how @wikipedia has joined us on the Fediverse and is doing everything right.

The Museum of Northern #California Art is running an exhibit "Northern California on #Wikipedia", with photos taken by Frank Schulenburg aka @wikiphotographer (you should follow him!)

It's "believed to be the first-ever solo art museum exhibit of a Wikipedia photographer."

There's a good chance you've already seen Frank's work in major media outlets or even Air France's in-flight entertainment system!

It runs through May 14 in #Chico, CA.
