Brosnan spoke to The Journal about feeling compelled to set out on the risky voyage, experiencing attacks en route, and why she’s sounding the alarm about the threat Israeli impunity poses to the international legal order.

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
Famine is so close in Gaza that when it does hit it will be too late for aid to arrive and there will be mass death, UNICEF's Global spokesperson James Elder has warned.

Eye-opening keynote on how the Library of Congress is basically controlling how information is managed & shared using their #SubjectHeadings internationally 🤯🤯 This may be a tough nut to crack... #CALC25 #InformationEquity

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. 👏🏼 #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! 📖

Louise Savage’s presentation, “Unsafe in Safe Spaces: an exploration of the workplace experiences of female library workers” is literally taking my breath away. Incredibly powerful, uncomfortable and scary. Thank you, Louise. #CALC25

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

An amazing keynote from @sachacoward.bsky.social, author of Sunday Times bestseller "Queer as Folklore" to kick off the 2025 Critical Approaches to Libraries Conference. Really looking forward to the incredible speakers they have lined up over the next 3 days #CALC25

Someone needs to work with @sachacoward.bsky.social to turn his book into a documentary series, 🎥 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...
