Book incoming...📚

And this one again with Amelia (it was nice to have a bit of a rant about #infolit again). informationmatters.org/2026/05/neur...

After years of struggling to write anything, it's quite pleasing the brain fog is lifting enough to produce some written words again! Especially thanks to Amelia as a co-author. We've got this piece with @jofitz.bsky.social and @ahaire.bsky.social journals.ucc.ie/index.php/hs...

Ever since seeing Kirsten MacQuarrie’s talk at #CALC26, I knew I HAD to read this book. Inspiring, important and indispensable (oh the joys of alliteration)

What a day! My #CALC26 present came today after I won the raffle-esque wheel the first day.. I am so excited to read this 📚📚📚

Oh, a PDF of an article @ahaire.bsky.social @jofitz.bsky.social and I wrote about @nlisn.bsky.social has just dropped into my email for final checks! Hopefully that means not long until publication:)

@playbrarian.uk and I are writing a book! Andy has been so kind throughout the process, and I have already learnt so much. (Primarily how jealous I am that he works from the beach). We're up to 14,000 words now- shows the power of writing about your special interest! #NeurodivergentLibrarians

📣Shout out for submissions is closing tomorrow⚠️

Today, on #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, I’m wearing my sunflower lanyard (usually reserved for airports). I’m using my privileges to help make hidden disabilities more visible. I’m celebrating the way my brain is wired. 💛🌻 #ActuallyAutistic #HiddenDisabilities #NeurodiversityAtWork

I’m on the committee for the first NLISN Conference📚 🗓 16–17 July 2026 We’re looking for submissions on neurodivergence in library, information, or archive work; talks, workshops, or wildcard ideas very welcome. Deadline: 2 April 2026 Details + submissions form on the NLISN website.

I got to go to the London Book Fair yesterday, what fun! Really interesting talks about AI, responsibility and of course, we were surrounded by books! I also felt very lucky to see the wonderful @alisonhicks0.bsky.social chair an important panel on Book Banning (w/Juno Dawson!!)

New episode alert! I had the absolute joy of joining Chatting Info Lit and to talk about my dissertation: what I researched, what surprised me, and how it still shapes the way I think about information literacy today. 🎧 Episode link: open.spotify.com/episode/79bD...

I still can't believe how many people attended this talk! It was an incredible experience.

Got to be repping the ‘tism, even when working from home. #Unmasked #UnmaskingAutism

@nlisn.bsky.social is collecting case studies, to showcase stories from our network and show others like us that they are not alone. Share your story with us, big or small, about what you’ve learned, the support you’ve found, or how the network has made a difference. nlisn.org/case-studies/

It's quite hard to be autistic in a neurotypical world. I've been experiencing autistic burnout like never before at the moment, but something that's helped is seeing other Autistics, AuDHDer's, and ADHDer's talk about their experiences on here. (Having a brilliant supervisor helps too).

This is the first time I've been cited, what an honour to have it be about a topic as important as this one! An excellent read.

We will be closing our representation statistics survey at some point in the next month, and we have already heard from more than 1000 neurodivergent librarians! #librarians #neurodiversity lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Huge thankyou to CILIP Disability Network for awarding NLISN this Accessibility Award, which has now safely arrived in the post! We won as an organisation so although Jo and Andy are named, this award is for all of us. The committee, the network and all our allies. #cilip #libraries #accessibility

And that sums up the first NLISN AGM! I may be biased, but @jofitz.bsky.social and @playbrarian.uk are brilliant humans. Thank you to all the members of the committee, and the network, who are helping us neurodivergent folks know we're not alone in this big old library world! @nlisn.bsky.social

I've been really excited for the latest @nlisn.bsky.social event, Christine Moeller's talk about the workplace experiences of neurodivergent librarians! #NLISNTakeCareOfYourself

Free Masterclasses on various topics to do with Neurodiversity www.eventbrite.ie/e/neurodiver...

I’ve been on a streak of brilliant reads lately (Her Majesty’s Royal Coven, Butter, and Yellowface). Just finished Chris Whitaker’s All the Colours of the Dark and I’m obsessed. As in, I read it in 5 hours and nearly cried, obsessed. Anyone else? #Allthecoloursofthedark

On 2/9/25 we have the @christinemmoe.bsky.social giving a #free online talk: “You deserve to take care of yourself” This is based on findings from a #research project on the #workplace experiences of #neurodivergent #librarians More info here ➡️ nlisn.org/events/ #Employment #Dyslexia #Autism #ADHD

Lovely @playbrarian.uk is running a brilliant webinar on the 8th of Sep! Would definitely recommend going. To quote myself: "Find out more of what it's like to be in my brain! (Phantom of the Opera/Stormzy constant backing track not included)" www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/working-wi...

Nothing more humbling than being asked if you’re “really” over 18 by charity people and then the Face Verification not working for BlueSky. (I also get ID’d for Red bull a lot). I JUST HAVE A BABY FACE OK (I’m 26).

We've (@nlisn.bsky.social) just launched a new way to join in with us! You can officially become a member, for free, or with a voluntary contribution. Or pay a minimum amount for a printed membership pack in the post. membermojo.co.uk/nlisn

There are many, many things I miss about living in York. The people, the city, Explore Libraries, my little cottage... And Betty the library cat. #LibraryCat #ExploreYork #PublicLibraries

I'm really excited to announce that I have had my first article published in the @jinfolit.bsky.social! I hope this article sparks conversations about how workplace information literacy is experienced by autistic librarians.📑📑 journals.cilip.org.uk/jil/article/...

"Can you provide an example of action you have taken in the workplace to support a sense of belonging for all?" This was a recent interview Q I had. I’ve spent years hiding my neurodiversity. But celebrating it fosters belonging. (1/5)

I graduated last week! What a year it has been. A massive thank you to @alisonhicks0.bsky.social for your amazing support. #graduate @ucl.ac.uk

Ani and I have loved attending #CALC25 today! Some really hard discussions and calls to action amongst tough topics. Thank you to the wonderful @patchedelbows.bsky.social and @michelleab.bsky.social!

Excited for @heroicendeavour.bsky.social’s presentation “Navigating the third space: Professional identity and knowledge equity in academic libraries”!

Extremely honest and difficult session with Nancy Bruseker. Asking the big and uncomfortable questions that makes us all think. #CALC25

Louise Savage’s presentation, “Unsafe in Safe Spaces: an exploration of the workplace experiences of female library workers” is literally taking my breath away. Incredibly powerful, uncomfortable and scary. Thank you, Louise. #CALC25

Seconded! So brilliant and fascinating- my brain is going everywhere now!

Really excited for #CALC25! Some important topics are going to be explored.

The phrase “everyone needs an Alison in their life” (educational, supervisional, or just in their general sphere), said during the #LILAC25 conference, comes to mind when reading this article. Proud supervisee over here! @alisonhicks0.bsky.social

@ahaire.bsky.social was brilliant! Really insightful presentation and lots of questions at the end which highlighted her breadth of knowledge. I could listen to her all day!

Join @ahaire.bsky.social in CSL 2.25/26 for a discussion on what it means to be information literate for an autistic person in the academic library workplace. This session will help managers & colleagues understand how an autistic librarian will learn in their job. #LILAC25

A gorgeous end to @jsecker.bsky.social’s Keynote #LILAC25 -beautiful! @lilacconf.bsky.social

Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads

A very deserved win! Rebecca’s work sounds incredible, and inspiring!

#LILAC25 Day 2 (Day 1 for me!) has officially started. It has been so lovely to see so many familiar faces, and the networking event in the museum featured a brilliant skeleton! 📚🦣

Honoured to have my research into school library bookbanning in the UK reported in the Guardian! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...
