How are people so silent on the #genocide in Gaza is beyond my comprehension. Especially if you stand for social justice, equality, human rights and everything in between. #FreePalestine #Famine

A great talk by Alex Enkerli on "Aligning values in justice-orientated librarianship". Not only was the format excellent (discussion galore!), but it really got me thinking about how we use our values to guide our work, our role, and collective change. πŸ‘πŸΌ #CALC25

Day 3 of #CALC25 and it's been a whirlwind of ideas, reflections & experiences. What's flooding my mind right now? - #CriticalLibrarianship #CriticalIL and how this can be effectively applied to my role. Lots of reading to do! πŸ“–

Really interesting to hear about Christina Kamposiori’s research on EDI in job specs (I now need to scour the RL PD Bank). Also interesting to hear that by comparison, there were a number of positions in the US that were created to drive EDI (at least at time of the research). #CALC25

Someone needs to work with @sachacoward.bsky.social to turn his book into a documentary series, πŸŽ₯ because there is SO MUCH queer history to these myths and folklore, and every episode would be an absolute riot and romp through history!

@sachacoward.bsky.social's #CALC25 keynote is definitely the most entertaining keynote I've ever attended - we've had Dragula, we've had the sexuality of robots, we've had Hans Christian Andersen face down weeping on Dickens' lawn, we've had sapphic mermaids, we've had swords as phalluses...

Sacha Coward’s keynote has only just started, but I’m already hooked. Queer history, folklore, and pure hyperfixation-induced passion? I’m in! #CALC25 🧜
