This was by far my favourite talk at @hayfestival.bsky.social, even with the speaker joining remotely. A heart-stopping story presented with an authentic and engaging voice. Now I have to read all of his #books. #Care #Writers #Disability

Marked decline in semicolons in English books, study suggests Usage of punctuation down almost half in two decades as further research finds 67% of British students rarely use it

As an expat from the U.S., I miss #semicolons; I notice they are not used as much in the UK. Test your knowledge here on how to properly use them - if you dare!! #grammar #punctuation #Librarians www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I'll never be a zeitgeisty, politically-minded social media poster- but firing Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress, is egregious, outrageous and SO WRONG.

If you were fired up after hearing @elinorcarmi.bsky.social’s keynote about the nefarious #TechBros at #LILAC25, you will want to read this piece in @theguardian.com / Observer by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social about the β€˜broligarchy’. #CriticalThinking #Librarians #Technology #DataLiteracy

@lilacconf.bsky.social Keynote 1: Academics have feelings too. Keynote 2: Dr Feelgood AKA @jsecker.bsky.social heroically flies the #InformationLiteracy flag. Keynote 3: At the end of the world, it’s #Librarians who will help you feel fine, from @elinorcarmi.bsky.social #LILAC25 #DataLiteracy

A certain company now offers a #GenAI for older adults tutorial. Reminds me of when I worked in a #BayArea #PublicLibrary and old folks would come in with brand-new iPads that their grown Silicon Valley kids had bought for them, with no clue how to even turn them on... #Librarians #DigitalLiteracy

When did life become so overly scheduled? It seems everything is pushed back by weeks because everyone is so busy, both professionally and personally speaking. There's hardly any room for spontaneity anymore... #RandomMusings #Librarians

Weekends I catch up with friends and family 8 time zones away. I struggle generally talking about politics which inevitably comes up. Am struck by the news/information sources people actually read, even my loved ones, which span from benignly middle-of-the-road to nefarious. #CriticalThinking
