@JoshFG, as your constituent, I urge you to attend the 2nd reading of Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on 29 November, and vote for choice.
Every constituency in Great Britain backs assisted dying, including ours. It’s time to change the law.

This is the first conference I've been to in years where I have not checked or contributed to the Twitter/ X.
Has it got quieter for scholarly publishing events. Seems so. Can we all move to Bluesky. So we're in the same place. Please and thank you. #ALPSP2024

Learning about the wonderful sounding Edinburgh Diamond (@EdinDiamond) at #OIPA2024. A lot offered by two staff, one of which is presenting here - @BeckyWojturska – at Heslington, England
Just heard from @sarah_thomp5263 at #OIPA2024 including on the needs of library teams in the move to increased openness. Pondering how @OASPA may be able to help.... Some ideas forming. – at Heslington, England
Happy to be in lovely York for #OIPA2024 where innovation should be on the menu from institutional publishers committed to open research and access. – at Heslington, England

On my way to York for the first @oipassoc symposium. Looking forward to hearing from this group of publishers! Is there a hashtag (not that anyone really uses this place much any more to share....). I shall check out Bluesky too. – at Bradford, England

What is equity in scholarly publishing? Good to hear from panellists on their perspective following Malavika Legge of @OASPA's introduction stating equity must come first if we're to have diversity, inclusion and belonging. #Redux2024 – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Hearing comments about Scholarly Societies in this and other sessions at #Redux2024 makes me wonder if @alpsp might consider a Society conference. Simon Inger used to have Society Street. Is there any more recent such event? – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Best hashtag of the day! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Stirring opening Keynote from Amina Shah, Librarian at @natlibscot. Lots of lovely poetry and images and a reminder that public libraries are democracy in action. #Redux2024 – at Edinburgh, Scotland
