Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection CNN exposes an online network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it.

I think I’m going to be sick.

#NotAllMen, we hear, but too fucking many!

A true loss. RIP. 😢

Call to Allies: Complete the ‘Earned Settlement’ Consultation - Migrants' Rights Network New 'earned settlement' proposals left members of our Network feeling incredibly distressed. We're calling on allies to respond.

The idea of ‘earned settlement’ is racist and classist. 📣 So, why are we calling on allies to complete the Government’s ‘Earned Settlement’ consultation?

We will see about that!

Damn it, I’ve lost #whamageddon!

Note to self: if I care about not losing this game next year, don’t watch ‘The Holiday’ until it’s actually Christmas. Or skip the first 5-ish minutes….

Trying to remove trans people from public life. Tell me again how this isn't violent?

Remember, my friends: Do not comply in advance, and do not cry in advance. The fear and despair is the point.

You’ve just died.

The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

I mean, there are worse ways to die than by the sword. 🫡⚔️

‘Sexy HEMA Scorecard.’ Do I even WANT to know how to make that a Halloween costume?!

Let’s talk about Banned Books Week. 📚

Oh, I am so, so sorry to hear this. ❤️Do look after yourself, and let me know if you need anything.

I am so sorry for your loss. So hard to lose a loved one.

Induction week has arrived. Let’s go.

As someone who does HEMA, very much agree that women should have swords (along with non-binary folks).

A Sword in the Hand 2025 An introductory historical fencing for women, non-binary and trans-identifying folks.

If you live in or near Oxford, are a woman (cis or trans)/nonbinary person/trans identifying, and you want to learn consensual historical violence, come to this workshop next Saturday (19th July) hosted by my HEMA club! Tickets are free but space is limited: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-sword-in...

Wicked: For Good | Official Trailer YouTube video by Universal Pictures

I may have watched the trailer for 'Wicked: For Good' about 5-6 times already.... Oops. youtu.be/vt98AlBDI9Y?...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

And that is a wrap for Day 2 of #CALC25 and for me that’s a wrap for the conference! I am on annual leave beginning tomorrow, so will likely miss Day 3.

The past two days have been packed with information but it’s been so illuminating and inspiring. Hope to ‘see’ everyone next year!

Two stuffed animals. On the left hand side is a black and white cat stuffie and one the right is a brown and white cat stuffie with huge green eyes and a Union Jack bow tie. The brown-and-white stuffie is based on Larry the Cat.

My #CALC25 buddies, Lizzie and Larry!

I’m already enjoying Christine Moeller’s session ‘“I’m killing myself to fit”: librarianship’s marginalization of neurodivergent librarians’. As a librarian who is likely neurodivergent (pursuing official diagnosis), a lot of the information is ringing true. #CALC25

Amazing session from Twanna Hodge and Abigail Philips, ‘Librarianship in the mirror: reflecting on our complicities.’ #CALC25

I'm at #CALC25 about to listen to "I'm killing myself to fit': librarianship's marginalization of neurodivergent librarians" by
Christine M. Moeller.

Also, read Tina’s article! doi.org/10.33137/cja... #CALC25

Finished an incredible session from Tina Liu and Jennie Fallis, ‘Lessons from the Tortoise.’ Clearly articulates the problems with EDI initiatives within many universities (which are often corporate, ‘tick-box,’ and surface level rather than actually radical). Less neoliberalism, please! #CALC25

While waiting for the start, we have had puffins and a puppy cam. Yeah, I would say this a good conference. #CALC25

Time for Day 2 of #CALC25! Looking forward to it!

Loved @heroicendeavour.bsky.social's talk on Libraries as 3rd Spaces, closing a genuinely great Day 1 of #CALC25. "The fluidity of the 3rd space gives librarians a unique freedom to drive change". I wrote about this recently in @irishexaminer.bsky.social: mural.maynoothuniversity.ie/id/eprint/19...
