I can’t get the presale for Manchester. Anyone else?

Fancy it?

@paulwrightythen.bsky.social

Congratulations to you both 💛

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed reading the posts and slides 😊. Part 3 particularly resonated as I definitely felt a void when Twitter turned bad combined with the pandemic limiting in person opportunities. Bluesky seems much better but think I need to look at a starter pack as I feel rusty!

EKLIPs Summer Social EKLIPs (Edinburgh Knowledge, Library and Information Professionals) warmly welcomes you to its summer social event. This first evening event is intended to be slightly different...

If you're in the Edinburgh-ish area, and are/want to be a librarian, knowledge manager, info pro etc come along for an evening social event on the 11th June. A good excuse to get together and gossip outside of work time! scotcourts.libcal.com/calendar/Pub...

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

"If you're providing an online system with very personal data about you, like your face or your job or your favourite colour, you ought to do so with the understanding that those data aren't just useful to get the immediate outcome — like a doll." I have to explain this to students almost daily!

Snap! Me and my partner said the same thing. If only that was it for the week 😎

Fingers crossed, hopefully similar weather next year 😬

That sounds like a lovely scenic trip! I’m home and the sun is still shining so I’m pleased 😊

Haha no, definitely stamina!

My pleasure 💃🏻

I’ll ask our lovely rep if she has any spares 🤞🏻thanks, and you!

Wow, I’m still on the train. Was lovely to meet you and I’m still in awe at your stamina!

I forgot to go back for one 😢 lovely to see you again and safe travels back 😊

Thanks to all @uksg.bsky.social for a wonderful conference. It’s always a great place to hear about what others are doing, share best practice and catch up with colleagues (other HE, suppliers etc.). Added bonus this year of the beach and the brilliant band and disco #UKSG2025

See you there 😊 I’ve just completed the Manchester to London leg, now waiting for the Brighton train 🥳

I met so many lovely people through attending the conference via the award/bursary. Such a shame for the organisation and that the opportunity won’t be available for others.

Aww bless her! This is a nice happy loop as her happiness has made me happy 🤗

Love this 👏🏻

Oh no, my friend who lives in Bristol uses megabus to come back home as it’s way cheaper than the train 😔

Rudebox?

Great work. I encourage everyone in #Libraries sector to read this @lseblogs.bsky.social article by @tweeterbarr.bsky.social

"Big Deals" "Transformative Agreements" "Transitional Agreements" are NOT the future. They are Marley-esque chains of greed & avarice that bind education & prevent growth

Same! That’s good. I’m not sure what I told it when I signed up but my feed is full of moon pictures and mountains. Much nicer than the hellfire that is Twitter 😬
