A post on the awful new strategic direction of Clarivate It will erode #Libraries offer, limit services, & fix the already broken ebook market into permanent "R&P" type arrangements Bad for the #Library, bad for students, bad for academics, great for shareholders www.linkedin.com/posts/anthon...

Feeling quite meh this evening. Can't even face a glass of vino. Traitors then bed methinks.

I just don't understand the justification for such a high price.

Marie Lancaster @gingergalwales.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Another conference over £500 with no accomodation included in that price.

I organised a conference last year, and we had sponsors, which meant we were able to make the conference affordable. We also didn't charge speakers as we felt that recognised the work they put in to speak at the conference. We also offered bursaries to those would not normally get the opportunity.

Christmas has arrived at Lancaster Towers!

Marie Lancaster @gingergalwales.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Thank you. The Christmas tree is the one thing I've made that I am super proud of. It was a labor of love, buy is cherished by my Mum so was worth it! The gonks were a Friday night bottle of fizz project with my neighbour a few years ago. We have a set each!

Hypermobility is kicking my arse today. Feel like my knee is popping out of it's socket everytime I take a step. Am hobbling around like an old woman:-(

Not sure why BBC R2 needed to play the national anthem just before 8am to wish the King 'Happy Birthday'? Pretty sure they never did that for Liz.... #odd

I'm not normally a numbers girl, but today I've compiled data, analysed the data and written a report based on the data. Feeling quite pleases with myself, especially as I'm feeling rubbish with a tooth infection. 📚

Thank you! A crochet teacher invented the pattern as her adaptation of the virus shawl. Essentially it's a 4 row repeat. This is the 4th one I've made and is for a mum to be!

That is lovely! I'm doing this at the moment.

Two weeks on from getting the norovirus lurgy, I've had my first cup of tea today!

Yeap. I seem to have had it worse than Justin & Carrie. 24 hours and they were fine, I'm still rough.

Thank you! This week has been grim.

Noravirus, 10 out of 10 do not recommend. Been ill since Monday evening and still not much better. #Dylanthedog has been keeping me company. #poorlysick
