Siobhán

A bowl of boiled potatoes in mint and butter sauce

Forgot to make lunch to take to work so lunch was this yellow stickered M&S new potato w/mint and butter ‘side dish’ ha ha

Two weeks until three weeks off of work and I keep looking at the calendar

This morning: wake up with beginnings of migraine, but manage to ward it off. Will the artificial lighting at work set it off again? Only one way to find out…

Try to add a document, click on the paperclip that suggests it’s for attachments- NO U STUPID FOOL YOU NEED TO BE IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SECTION NOW I WILL LOG YOU OUT THERE IS NO BACK BUTTON

Exactly! Fine for the basic stuff but totally shit for this.

INDEED IT IS

Having a real day of Siobhán vs shit interfaces. Our x3 year ‘review conversations’ have moved onto the same platform we use to log leave/sickness etc and it’s like some 90s website full of frames and illogical places to click and save hell. It’s 2026! Websites do not have to function like this!

*tries to download ebook at work, gets message I have to download proprietary reader app.* not thrilled about this, but try to do it anyway. Oh wait I can’t because our IT department don’t ‘recognise’ the app. 🙃🤡 god I hate this shit, I will never give up print

RIP

Very cute illustrated cover of a zine titled "Fiery Recipes to Abolish ICE". Cover is Risograph printed in blue and yellow and features illustrations of peppers and fires with fun facial expressions.

Three scenes describing the zine. Text reads: "Fiery Recipes to Abolish ICE is a cooking zine that features 10 spicy recipes from 10 different food writers. We are raising funds to donate to anti-ICE groups because everyone should have the right to safety, food, and the freedom to live in the U.S., a country built by immigrants. Besides zine production and mailing costs, ALL of the proceeds will be donated to Minnesota-based organizations fighting against the injustices of ICE."

Check out "Fiery Recipes to Abolish ICE," a riso-printed cook zine raising money for Minnesota organizations fighting ICE! $30 includes shipping & support for MN immigrants. 🌶🔥

With sorrow, we announce the passing of FOBAZI M. ETTARH 1989 - 2026. Fobazi changed so many lives with her friendship, love, and brilliance. She was so loved, and leaves behind a powerful legacy. We thank Fobazi's community for their support over the last several months of her illness. A private burial will be held for family. We will be in touch with further information about a future Celebration of Life event, as well as ways to support Fobazi's family and legacy.

I'm pleased to have co-authored a new article out today in the Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship. Kevin Sanders, @sluginkpress.bsky.social, and I reflect on the Radical Librarians Collective and how we situate radical librarianship alongside critical librarianship. doi.org/10.33137/cja...

Called into work at short notice, left my headphones in my other bag 😒 have avoided watching the traitors but am now being forced to listen to it by some guys sodcasting it into the fucking train carriage. Sounds shit.

Of course!

The person behind me has called three different people in succession & relayed her working day in exactly the same way to each one VERY LOUDLY. Why not just log into fucking Teams and make it a meeting ffs

A canvas print of Ned Ludd, infamous leader of the nineteenth century frame-breakers, is leaning against the wall, surrounded by its picture frame broken into four pieces, having come off the wall during the night.

Not a word of a lie. This morning we discovered a large print of Ned Ludd in our Chapel Gallery had mysteriously came off the wall during the night. Clearly, the frame-breaking continues.

Paddington Bear becoming the UK's go-to psychopomp is one of the very weirdest things to happen in this very weird decade.
