How are people so silent on the #genocide in Gaza is beyond my comprehension. Especially if you stand for social justice, equality, human rights and everything in between. #FreePalestine #Famine

The Israeli military has abducted Greta Thunberg. RELEASE HER NOW. RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES FROM ISRAEL. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Famine is so close in Gaza that when it does hit it will be too late for aid to arrive and there will be mass death, UNICEF's Global spokesperson James Elder has warned.

Breakout sessions have kicked off on Day 2 of #CONUL25, where we're learning about a vast array of topics such as archival literacy and engagement, RDM, and bats (yes, bats in the library!)

Omg, 😍. “This is a site for pictures of owls… in towels.” owlsintowels.org

Eye-opening keynote on how the Library of Congress is basically controlling how information is managed & shared using their #SubjectHeadings internationally 🤯🤯 This may be a tough nut to crack... #CALC25 #InformationEquity

A great talk by Alex Enkerli on "Aligning values in justice-orientated librarianship". Not only was the format excellent (discussion galore!), but it really got me thinking about how we use our values to guide our work, our role, and collective change. 👏🏼 #CALC25

Day 3 of #CALC25 and it's been a whirlwind of ideas, reflections & experiences. What's flooding my mind right now? - #CriticalLibrarianship #CriticalIL and how this can be effectively applied to my role. Lots of reading to do! 📖

Delighted to present our poster 'Empowered Learning: How MU Library is using UDL principles to enhance student engagement in our classes" on behalf of @mulibrary.bsky.social with TRD colleagues Áine Carey 👏🏼 #UDL #EDI #StudentEngagement

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

Really interesting to hear about Christina Kamposiori’s research on EDI in job specs (I now need to scour the RL PD Bank). Also interesting to hear that by comparison, there were a number of positions in the US that were created to drive EDI (at least at time of the research). #CALC25

Fabulous to see queers resisting pink washing whilst on my way to run a tour this morning. X 💪🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸

An amazing keynote from @sachacoward.bsky.social, author of Sunday Times bestseller "Queer as Folklore" to kick off the 2025 Critical Approaches to Libraries Conference. Really looking forward to the incredible speakers they have lined up over the next 3 days #CALC25

Someone needs to work with @sachacoward.bsky.social to turn his book into a documentary series, 🎥 because there is SO MUCH queer history to these myths and folklore, and every episode would be an absolute riot and romp through history!

@sachacoward.bsky.social's #CALC25 keynote is definitely the most entertaining keynote I've ever attended - we've had Dragula, we've had the sexuality of robots, we've had Hans Christian Andersen face down weeping on Dickens' lawn, we've had sapphic mermaids, we've had swords as phalluses...

Sacha Coward’s keynote has only just started, but I’m already hooked. Queer history, folklore, and pure hyperfixation-induced passion? I’m in! #CALC25 🧜

Excited to attend # CALC25 over the next three days 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Folks, I don't intend to post about every single horrible thing that's happening at the moment because I'm not a direct news source and also because my mental health has an upper limit. Don't confuse lack of obsessive news updating for lack of concern or lack of personal action. Also, here's a cat.
