Hi friends. My phone was stolen. I have access to very few social media apps and communication apps. Reach me here or janholmquist at gmail.com While it is time consuming and annoying it gives me a possibility to rethink my digital life. Miss you all though.

Bowie forever #bowieforever

It is officially 2026 in Denmark. Wishing you all the best for the new year. 🍾🎉🎊🎶

May your days be merry and bright ✨

Two nights in a row with world class jazz live. Tonight in company with my son. Christian sands 🎹(My favourite pianist), Thomas Fonnesbæk on bass and Rasmus Kihlberg on drums. Magnificent ♥️

Winter jazz in Copenhagen is usually just as high level as Copenhagen jazz festival. Today: Christian McBride Trio live in concert playing tunes in honor of Ray Brown. Christian McBride (bass), Benny Green (piano), Gregory Hutchinson (drums). Tight, clever, funny and wonderful sound. #jazz

🎶 One of my favorite duet albums of all time is Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill “In the game”. I heard them perform it live twice in Denmark a few years ago. This weekend I heard them twice again in the opera house in Cork, Ireland. Amazing. Highly recommended🎶

Rather wild story. The Pushkin job: unmasking the thieves behind an international rare books heist | Books | The Guardian #books #libraries

We came across this - and thought we'd provide an alternate link since this one is broken. Same content! clalliance.org/blog/teachin...

This is one of the most disgusting things I have seen in a very long time. A fascist wanna be dictator and an experienced dictator meet to discuss what should happen with a democratic country one of them invaded. Shame on both of them. Slava Ukraini. #slavaukraini

Yesterday’s concert with Norah Jones was nothing less than perfect. It was never boring though. Just an amazing artist at the top of her career 🎶 with a tight amazing band 🥁🎹♥️

Frewheelin’ 2015 … if you know you know

Out of respect for young people's wiser approach to social media, I've chosen not to share a picture of my daughter from her high school graduation today. But rest assured, I am an extremely proud dad and deeply admire her efforts. The picture shows the traditional Danish graduation hat.

Meeting at Roskilde University today. A fine place for a good meeting - coffee in the sun and in the surroundings of nature and knowledge. #rewilding #knowledge

The Boss for President.

Dr. Carla Hayden has been a huge inspiration to me for years. She upholds and fights for the right library values: Fact based learning, and opportunities for all. Facts matter, and her firing by the orange one is yet another sign that facts are under siege in what was once an inspirational democracy

I attempted to test the European search engine Swisscows, which, according to the European Alternatives website, should offer a free plan. However, it seems this is not the case. When you do a search a pop-up appears and no search result is shown.

Yesterday a president disrespected USA in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelinskyj. #slavaUkraini

Tonight’s concert: Christian Sands quartet. Absolutely my favorite pianist 🎹🎹🎹

Tonight in #jazzlife Joe Levano and his amazing band. A very fine evening in jazz with this band. Guitarist Julian Lage made the guitar the star of the evening #jazzsky

Earlier this week in #jazzsky Jazz and poetry with Jakob Bro and his large ensemble featuring danish poet Peter Laugesen. Rare to hear alto 🎷soprano 🎷 and baritone 🎷 in the same band. It was a very fine evening.

Great to see this piece from Buffy J Hamilton about book banning and how the truth is challenged theunquietlibrarian.wordpress.com/2025/01/27/s...

Libraries are subject to climate disaster and drivers of environmental sustainability. Read more at @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social www.ala.org/news/2024/07...

Different kinds of public buildings focus on the same features as community spaces … Like libraries and new Scandinavian churches.

I used @blueark.app to move “all my tweets” to Bluesky. Almost half of them could be moved. Hope it was the right ones😀 Now ready to only look forward and towards the bluest sky 💙

@noethematt.bsky.social is right. The article does a good job of outlining the “government speech” argument (which is crap). If this goes towards government speech, all libraries are functioning in a VERY different (horrible) world.

I have (inevitably) produced: The Library Guide to Bluesky 📚 www.ned-potter.com/blog/bluesky...

Moving all my tweets to Bluesky via Blueark. I hope it is not destroying your feeds with old stuff that seems new. It felt like a good idea in the beginning 😀 Ongoing process.

Libraries make their communities smarter: Text on the backside of my businesses cards for quite some years. Because #facts. #skybrarians #libraries #librarians #learning

@rebekkahsa.bsky.social Hi Rebekkah 🟢 I added you to the Librarians Driving Sustainable Futures starter pack. I am open for suggestions to other people to add 🔰https://go.bsky.app/HMujFBE #skybrarians #librarians #sustainability #sdgs

We can learn a lot from history on the consequenses of underfunding libraries time.com/7024056/libr...

“The professor’s comments are very clearly protected by the First Amendment and academic freedom,” said Katie Schwartzmann, director of the Tulane First Amendment Law Clinic. “It is absolutely terrifying for our governor to call upon LSU to discipline a professor for his speech.”

Is there a starter pack for librarians and libraries passionate about sustainability and the SDGs? If not, I’m creating one! 🌱 Let’s connect—tag yourself or someone who should be on this list. Together, we can inspire action. 🌍📚 #Sustainability #Libraries #SDGs #GreenLibraries #Skybrarians

Yesterday, I filed two federal lawsuits against a man in New Jersey. He writes patently false things about me and other librarians. These falsehoods are very dangerous. They make me feel unsafe. They make a lot of librarians feel unsafe. For the librarians. #Invictus Doc and update in comments.

One of my current projects is establishing an Impact Hub in southeast Denmark. It’s a democratic space that welcomes everyone, emphasizing sustainability, community connection, and driving social innovation—closely aligned with library values. #Skybrarian #impacthub #sustainability impacthub.net

Scandinavia in full effect ❄️❄️❄️ #denmark #scandinavia

Feeling (almost) the same buzz for this new platform than I did for Twitter in the early days. Great to connect with you all. There’s a sky blue sky 🎶
