I would be looking for secondary schools that were queer/trans inclusive so if I'd heard that a school was censoring queer books etc. then that would be worrying. But don't think lack of a librarian would override local school where all their mates are going, as Abby says!

Replace every how-to-publish panel with one on the material realities of publishing. This is where I’m at.

First evening out together without the kids for four years! Had noodles, beer and saw some lesbian ballet (Northern Ballet's 'Gentleman Jack') 10/10 evening 😍

I mean it wasn't the greatest film ever made but it was an enjoyable family cinema trip I thought

Yes, I don't mind an adult review of a kids film but you have to be open to the kids' perspectives a bit more than that!

My partner just said "is it queer to date an AI" and I really miss the heyday of twitter where you would have been able to amuse yourself for hours reading discourse about just this type of thing

Ah yes, I just have an internal resistance to devils advocate provocations ;-) but it is hard to judge tone when you're not there as well - sounds like an interesting panel.

I guess that's the point of a provocation but academic authors aren't a monolithic group...

Looking afresh at these reviewers' comments on our paper on trans disabled people, it's even more obvious that the paper was rejected because of transphobia

It is a shame when old ladies on the tram inform me that 3yo is licking the windows because then I have to make a big show of stopping her licking the windows and once she knows I don't want her to she only wants to lick the windows MORE

The Artistic Journey: 2021: celebrated as I published one of the best books of my career. 2025: watched Anthropic steal it, with millions of others, to train its model, without compensation. 2026: watched Anthropic sell that model, an AI killing machine, to the US government. Human progress!

This is what I think about when people say we need to give people "AI literacy". How do you AI literacy out of this exactly? This shows how absurd the concept is, this is what the goal of AI is for every worker.

As a PhD student studying open access and then an OA librarian I have been v disillusioned with the whole project but the work produced by Copim over the last few years has really provided something to enage with again #CopimConference
