In case it wasn't clear, academia is crumbling under the enormous flood of AI-generated content. The latest victim is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) flagship EU postdoctoral fellowships. The number of submissions has more than doubled in the past 3 years.

The two years and £6k I spent on a post graduate qualification and the fifteen years of career development were just for shits and giggles

But at the same time if you’ve earned that MSc or MCLIP or whatever you SHOULD be proud of it and celebrate it and include it in your professional identity if it means something to you and shows the hard work and time you’ve put in. What a puzzler.

Urg. I wonder if it’s ever put anyone off talking to me. I guess it’s The Hidden Cuurriculum/a mark of my own privilege that assumed status has never intimidated me. Def something to reflect on

People off engaging with me! Is it intimidating for other people?

That’s really interesting. I do have them on my email signature because I earned them and having my letters after my name than in my name amuses me, but I only use my signature in initiating conversations or when I’m having A Difficult Conversation Over Email. But I’d hate to think they were putting

We’re back! To celebrate our Emmy nomination, THE LIBRARIANS documentary has returned to YouTube until mid-September. Watch it with friends, and then plan to vote for library-friendly candidates at every level of your ballot in November. The film will release to the major streamers later this fall.

It depends very much on the audience. I despise delivering training to a load of boxes with initials in them, I quite enjoy being able to present to a much wider audience I would have access to otherwise.

Best one ever from a certain professor “I think there was an article about vocational edition in the Times of India in the late 80s”, found it in ten minutes, they genuinely thought I had powers

This is not a joke: I have a serious bibliographical question about something I'm writing an article on, and this question can probably only be answered by someone who has worked in plumbing for at least 10 years (ideally someone who has been in the industry even longer). Does anyone have a contact?

Sports physio was excellent for me, happy baby and very gentle cat cows that focus on the bottom spine bits. I also found avoiding sitting on the sofa and instead on the floor with a hard cushion behind me. My last flair was around a year long and was AWFUL you have my sympathy

What’s your favourite this sort of book? This is mine and I would like recommendations

A book you know that type with a picture of a whimsical but fiercely intelligent woman in a flowery hat with a large building in the background titled “A Most Determined Woman” by
Emma Blair with a bit of embossing

The Luddites (in West Yorkshire in the early 1810s at least) were also living through a climate crisis and large scale wars and yet the militia was parked on their doorstep

I gave up, and I know a fair bit about the subject. Better speaker than writer imo

I had this earlier this week, had to explain why they put their hands up when they bump into each other “it’s to show it’s not their fault” “but mum that one kicked that one!”

Jess @bookelf.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

That’s a messy comparison but you get the jist

Jess @bookelf.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Honestly I think bringing back something like a black armband and the socially accepted idea of what that means would be a great thing. Not to compare the impact of the two but look at the sunflower lanyard, people know what it means and give people grace when they see it (or should!)
