We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.

This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
Another record year for the Green Party 👏
859 Councillors on 170 Councils in England & Wales

Now join us to keep Greens growing and to take the fight to Reform join.greenparty.org.uk

@jsecker.bsky.social claims Librarians are the most innovative teachers! I agree, we are always trying to prove we are worthy in the ‘teaching space,’ owning our teaching status and being as creative and innovative as we can. #LILAC25

I've spent the last few hours doing a bit of a revamp on the Library Conferences on BlueSky page. This included finding details of upcoming (& previous) conferences that I wasn't already aware of, updating the description at the top of the page and reorganising it so that 2025 events are at the top.

I am enjoying bluesky scrolling and seeing faces I recognise but after 3+ years away from social media I'm really struggling to remember to post. Either nothing of use to say or out of practice. Or both.

Finally got round to re-emerging on social media after deleting my twitter 3 years ago. So off on a following spree after an incredible #LILAC24
