Deep Space Nine scene in three pictures. In pic one and two, Jadzia Dax and a old Klingon named Kor are reuniting/hugging it out. Both look absolutely thrilled to see each other. In pic three, the hug ends and they remain close. Kor is an older Klingon, white & grey scraggly flowy hair and goatee, sharpe teeth, and forehead ridge loaf. Dax is in her blue science uniform on DS9 station. She has what looks like tattoos running up her neck on each side of her face through to the hairline. Closed caption as follows; Pic one, focused on Kor, "Oh Curzon, my beloved old friend." Pic two, showing Dax mid-hug, smiling big, "I'm Jadzia now." Pic three showing both & each smiling towards one another. Kor, "Oh well, Jadzea, my beloved old friend." Alt in pic 1, Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️ Alt in pic 1, Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️

popping in & out of #InfoOnline25 today but my glimpses of this morning have been inspiring 🌱 highlights: listen to First Nations people re. climate change; don't disregard the impact of young people; and the reminder that libraries are partners in #ClimateJustice & we're led by our communities ✊🏽

Young people are already taking on leadership roles with climate action. Don't include young people as part of an inclusion measure, empower them to lead! #InfoOnline25

Fantastic to hear young voices speak on the impact of climate change on Indigenous culture and the imperative of the culture sector to contribute to climate justice. #InfoOnline25

#InfoOnline25 end of day one thoughts: all speakers brought the conversation back to prioritising self-determination; bringing Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing into libraries; & non-Indig leaders partnering with Indigenous people 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 however

Attending ALIA's Information Online conference today, learning about the NLA's ICIP Protocol implementation. Really liked this quote by James Baldwin, shared in the presentation. #InfoOnline25

tuned into ALIA #InfoOnline25 & my main takeaways from the morning discussions are:
1) there’s a disconnect between aspirations & reality re. implementing Indigenous protocols;
2) #IndigenousLibrarianship is its own discipline, not an add on;
3) allies must stop centring themselves & listen to us.

Books.
Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're on an away mission somewhere in a room. We see Kirk in uniform and a another not Starfleet fella. The non Starfleet fella is holding a book. In front of them both is a pile of old looking books. Kirk looks weirdly into the old guy. Closed caption reads, "Books."
