The suits against universities for changing teaching during the pandemic is such a passive slap in the face to those who taught it. We did our bloody best! I worked hours and hours beyond my contract. I redid an entire curriculum to be online
It wasn’t pleasant to me either!!!
This comes up a lot so I do want to let you all know that the option of turning the existing building into a heritage/museum site has been costed out and it is substantially more expensive
Just a fun little surprise for you when we're going through the abstracts, don't worry about it!
For the greater good and also I know Darren lives for this! Wouldn't be a CALC conference without at least one Darren session.
Which is to say: The programme for #CALC26 is looking ace 👍
Possibly my fave part of reviewing CALC abstracts is going off on a tangent in our notes that somehow ends in suggesting @patchedelbows.bsky.social facilitates an additional session 😇
Ha, fair! Pray is a great song with some good moves, the video is v cringe now though 😂
Intrigued by the video concept of Babe, which seems to be "Victorian refugees in post revolution Russia but with modern phones"?

You are welcome!
By "dance moves" do you mean you were out in the rain wiggling against your car door?
OK wait, why do I know a solid amount of the lyrics to this??

RELEASED 1992, put me in an old folks home, I'm ready thanks
WHY DO I KNOW ALL THE LYRICS?? I haven't heard this song in years.
Couldn't tell you the meaning of the colour coding I did on a spreadsheet yesterday, can sing along to a song released in 1995 (!!!)
The actual sexiest thing a rich man can do
Watching the high art that is the Back for Good video

Hot and smart enough to make his money and get out. What a man
Other thoughts: Was Jason always hot?
Gary continues to be insufferable.
These proposed changes are horrifying and this government needs to stop even considering them. If you have a moment (and live in the UK), please fill this out!
Just finished the Take That documentary, now watching Take That videos on YouTube, can't believe how many songs I know the lyrics to despite never being a Take That fan 🤣
I both find this very important and also wish I'd never seen it 😬
Absolutely wild that within 48 hours of contacting PALS I've apparently got 2 letters on the way, one explaining appointment I had and one a referral to my new area hospital. Am left wondering what would have happened if I'd not contacted PALS.
Taking a tip from @thatdocphoenix.com and invoking PALS to try and get a follow up from an appointment I had in May 2024 😅
Wish me luck! (Especially as I don't even live in the area anymore. I'm anticipating that causing problems. )
So tempting to maliciously suggest we rebrand to this
Last term I ran a few seminars for research about/by Librarians and Schol Comms folks. You can access the videos here: cassyni.com/series/KVXBf...
Now it's time to find some more speakers - do you have a research project you'd like to talk about? Tell me!

At the CILIP Member Network Forum today, someone from CILIP just mentioned branding and I had to hold myself back from yelling out "ILPUK!" #IYKYK
(Don't worry, doesn't sound like they're headed for another misguided rebrand 😂)
No, students finished on Friday and nothing is due now til January. It was more "we had a session on this and I forgot everything already", I think 😂
Sorry but my main duty today and tomorrow is actually eating any Christmas food left in the office?
Very generously put appointment availability in my calendar this afternoon: Did not expect students to actually book them 😤
Slides 1-20, surely? Then a 'here's the link to our pages on referencing' slide and you're done!
I'm watching Champagne Problems on Netflix and look: I love a French accent. But not even French can save this terrible movie.
🚨 Last day to submit a session proposal for our first stage CfP 🚨

That is very cool!
