I know! He is brilliant.
Lovely HE friends my friend Nicky is doing a PhD in Compassion and is looking for HE people to interview. More details here - app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/chichester...
In the old days, good writers got famous for selling books.
Nowadays, bad writers sell books by being famous.
HE keeps saying it values care and compassion, yet people are left carrying fear, loss and exhaustion after every round of cuts.
I wrote this about what happens after restructures end, when organisational trauma quietly settles in, and why repair cannot wait.

Yep! Although my local library service hasn't - I desperately want to get in and work with them on these things!
Feeling a bit meh about being back at work? I am running my Uncover your purpose group coaching starting 13th Jan for 5 weeks - share.google/DFBwuqmZfWCh...
(Free to Empower members - you can join for £19.99 a month)
So I'm asking for help now. Do you have a story or initiative about Queers and Libraries that you'd like in the book? Let me know!

Been busy adding some group coaching, training amd forums to Empower. It's looking like an exciting year ahead. I've set a goal of one new organisation and 10 new individuals a month joining...
They seem to have left The Kindness Toolkit off this list ... but it is going to spread kindness even further isn't it@facetpublishing.bsky.social ?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2e6nw1w40o
Oh amazing! Thank you. Running that course was one of the highlights of 2025!
I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
For Christmas i have been gifted an anyibiotic resistant infection deep inside my wound that won't heal from the surgery I had in October.

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.
Enjoying the Sussex Kindness Research Centre Symposium with Janet Leighton from Timpsons. It is fantastic to hear their approach, their vision and that they get that kind culture and cash in the bank go hand in hand.

As Kindness Week is coming to an end, reflect on kindness in the workplace and libraries with Helen Rimmer's latest article🌎💙

Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”
3 hours this time. I was exhausted, glad I have a week's worth of gp nurse appointments this week.
The tip to get to Urgent treatment early on a Sunday is not so helpful when the world and his wife has also arrived early. Last week was in and out in an hour. Week before 2.5 (but arrived at 11:30). Wonder how long today... but very very grateful for the NHS!
