it was exceptional. always great to hear from someone who is passionate about their role and is also conscious of the broader social impact of their work (must be the Irish mammy!). really enjoyed it.

still in the process of submitting, but I imagine there will (in due course) be a *really* interesting talk about the nuances of applying for such an award in a library which has a large majority of female staff - puts an interesting nuance on things #LibPMC2025

Takeaway from keynote #LibPMC2025 is that citizen science is a lot broader than I imagined

the continuing fragmentation of social media is making it harder to follow #uksg2025 in full, from a distance. Thanks to all who are posting here!

I often think we are always a bit in a tension between genuine vocation led pride but also a strange insecurity. That (to my mind) often manifests notably at conferences

The MAGA movement will not be shamed by pointing out the basic features of a liberal pluralist democracy. They don't believe in any of it. They see it as a weakness, something that merely holds them back or slows their efforts to reshape their world.

I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact- checking chuds on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany. That was a Nazi salute.

The worst day in a library (in my experience) beats a day sweeping floors, lugging plasterboard, waiting tables etc. but the key thing (as noted) is people need to understand what’s involved. And hopefully can have agency in where their career takes them. That’s the hard part perhaps.
