I just realised that today’s choice of necklace was (unintentionally) peculiarly appropriate for @sachacoward.bsky.social’s #CALC25 keynote on queer mythology and folklore!

@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...

#calc25 Getting ready to present on decolonization efforts at a land grant uni, and the role of the librarian. Have enjoyed this conference so much!

#LILAC25 attendees, me and @patchedelbows.bsky.social have some #CALC25 stickers on us. If you'd like one, let us know!

Ani and I have loved attending #CALC25 today! Some really hard discussions and calls to action amongst tough topics. Thank you to the wonderful @patchedelbows.bsky.social and @michelleab.bsky.social!

👇 Watch @ckamposiori.bsky.social talk from #CALC25 on RLUK's research on Embedding diversity and inclusion in research library recruitment practices

How inclusive and frankly just nice to be able to view the #CALC25 slides in advance and not on Slideshare!

Extremely honest and difficult session with Nancy Bruseker. Asking the big and uncomfortable questions that makes us all think. #CALC25

The CALC conference is back with another excellent line-up this year. The only UK library conference dedicated to critical library practice aka #critlib, and an amazing event in my experience. Check it out. #calc25

And now we’re discussing sapphic vampires. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon. #CALC25

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

Starting #CALC25 strong with an amazing keynote from Sacha Coward.

Very much looking forward participating in this online Critical Approaches to Librarianship Conference #CALC25 - what a 🔥🔥🔥 programme! Kudos and thanks to @patchedelbows.bsky.social & @michelleab.bsky.social for putting this together. So much juicy #CritLib listening and learning on offer here.

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

Can confirm, Ani agrees. #CALC25

Just settling in for #CALC25. I think so far we've agreed that next year's conference should be in Panama, and @patchedelbows.bsky.social is going to sort funding and bursaries for everyone. Looking forward! 😆

This presentation is making me feel less insane and for that I am truly thankful #CALC25
May 14, 2025 at 4:57 PM
Really excited for #CALC25! Some important topics are going to be explored.
May 13, 2025 at 12:08 PM
In the first six months of this year I'm going to have:
Planned & delivered CALC
Planned & delivered another event
Booked and been on a multi week trip to Japan
Applied for and got a new job
Prepped to move across the country
Done my usual day job

If I forget something for #CALC25, this is why 🤣😭

Accessibility and #CriticalLibrarianship (should) go hand in hand, so here are the two things that made this conference accessible for me:
1. 100% online
2. Registration for only GBP £15.00

Thank you, #CALC25 organizers!

I'm going to use my first post here to say how much I have enjoyed attending #CALC25 so far - some fantastic talks this afternoon! Incredibly thoughtful and thought-provoking!
