Please share your impressions during the conference on social media:
Bluesky and Linkedln with the hashtag #BLA26 BlueSky and LinkedIn logos.
The Business Librarians Association @blalib.org conference programme is out! And look what's at the bottom of it. This is what I love to see-it's my dream for all conference programmes to include a hashtag & to promote it in advance #BLA26 (Says she, constantly avoiding volunteering to organise...)

Non-binaryphobia is real. We need to talk about it
I wonder if using non-binaryphobia as a separate term would help address the distinct issues we face
1 in 3 non-binary people and LGBTQIA+ women have avoided or delayed healthcare due to fears of bias or discrimination, new survey by @divamag.bsky.social finds #LVW26
From our archives, Jude explores the specific barriers and stigma non-binary people face 👇

Actually mine was spotted from a blood test, CA 9-99 followed by an immediate operation. 1% survival chance in 2019 but thanks to all find raisers it’s now 13%. Keep going. We’re winning!

Oh Kezia 🤦♂️🧵 1/12
We don’t win progress by cosying up to people who undermine it and we certainly don’t do it by offering them “nothing but respect”.
Yes, there are grey areas. Some people are uninformed, some are on the fence. Fine talk to them. That’s how you shift public opinion.

Can Stonewall Mark II put trans wars behind it?
New chair talks of consensus but she’ll have a tough job unpicking charity’s bullying stance
Kathleen Stock
In the history of gay rights, there have always been fearless souls willing to face down mobs of pitchfork-wielding fanatics, but perhaps none so brave as Kezia Dugdale, incoming chair of trustees at Stonewall. In an interview with The Guardian this weekend, the former Scottish Labour leader did the unthinkable and praised JK Rowling.
If you had any doubts that Stonewall is a danger to trans people, here is Kathleen Stock praisng them in the Times.
"When the gay rights cause first got going, the ideal was toleration"

Praising JK Rowling when asked a question on trans rights is akin to praising Anita Bryant when asked a question gay rights. No money to Stonewall. No Stonewall at Pride. They are already experiencing a funding crisis, and this chairwoman appointment should be their last. Traitors.

I worried about my Grandma being alone after Grandpa died and got her a rescue dog. She named him Buddy, which was my Grandfather’s nickname when he was a kid. They seem to be getting along pretty well…

They're idiots with domestic violence allegations who probably were lonely in the first place? Plus, they're probably dumb enough to be transphobic. You don't really even need to read an article like this to see it.

Do we reckon it is prferable to rock up to an assessed uni presentation smartly turned out to indicate you take it very seriously, or limp in looking rough as arseholes to appeal to their sense of pity?
There is around a 5-10% chance I will have any say in this matter.

"Who controls war" has not been disputed for a long time in any capacity.
It has been ceded entirely to the Executive by BOTH PARTIES for decades.
Trying to paint it as anything else is genuinely intellectual dishonesty and should be ridiculed.

Led a library presentation and tour/scavenger hunt today for a grade 5 class. A few of the students are already branch regulars and one told me that I’m her second favourite person who works here, so at least now I have some work goals for the year.
