it was exceptional. always great to hear from someone who is passionate about their role and is also conscious of the broader social impact of their work (must be the Irish mammy!). really enjoyed it.

still in the process of submitting, but I imagine there will (in due course) be a *really* interesting talk about the nuances of applying for such an award in a library which has a large majority of female staff - puts an interesting nuance on things #LibPMC2025

Really interesting findings from @qualitydog.bsky.social about use of digital book use. Rigour of research gave great credibility to their findings #LibPMC2025

Takeaway from keynote #LibPMC2025 is that citizen science is a lot broader than I imagined

God knows I complain about the weather (a lot) but the last 4 weeks have been pretty good. (This is high calibre content right here!)

the continuing fragmentation of social media is making it harder to follow #uksg2025 in full, from a distance. Thanks to all who are posting here!

I often think we are always a bit in a tension between genuine vocation led pride but also a strange insecurity. That (to my mind) often manifests notably at conferences

The MAGA movement will not be shamed by pointing out the basic features of a liberal pluralist democracy. They don't believe in any of it. They see it as a weakness, something that merely holds them back or slows their efforts to reshape their world.
