So today I discovered the existence of this - and I'm pretty bloody disgusted quite frankly.

afaf.org.uk/heroes-and-zer… Zeros of course including things like trigger warnings, decolonisation initiatives, educating about concepts like white privilege, critical race theory, mandatory anti-racism training...

'Won't' is a very curious word to use, that implies we could but we're choosing not to.

How about 'half of UK librarians are being prevented from meeting their users' needs due to exploitation, profiteering, a dysfunctional market & inadequate library budgets'? #ebookSOS Not to mention companies like K*rt*xt, who deliver a model that is only viable/profitable precisely because the market is so broken & dysfunctional, encouraging adoption of a per FTE individual textbook model that narrows choice and patterns a secondary school style of teaching.

Just waking up to the news of the shooting in Texas. 19 kids. For fuck’s sake, how many more? When will it end? I just don’t understand how this can happen again and again and again, and still there are people clinging to their AK-47s and swearing guns aren’t the problem.

I did not end up rewriting it, just delivered it - and I think it went really well!

If I ever get married (increasingly unlikely but should Tom Hiddleston or Lupita Nyong’o ever come knocking…) this would be my dress.

Hell, skip the wedding, I’ll just buy the dress and waft around teaching info lit classes in it… I could honestly buy every single item from Teuta Matoshi. I mean, this? I could teach in this. Perfect for a referencing workshop.

Settling in for what will no doubt be a really interesting and informative Zoom webinar on ‘decolonising the business school’. 182 attendees - clearly a real hunger to learn more on this topic in the academic community. #DecolonizeTheBSchool Image Gurminder Bhambra from Sussex talking about the new intensity to decolonisation in the current climate of BLM  and toppling of statues - and also the sad and inevitable backlash already stirring among those to whom empire is (or was) a positive force. #DecolonizeTheBSchool
