It’s Transgender Day of Visibility! Reading trans authors all year long is one great way to support the community. There are so many more!

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

This is such a lovely article that perfectly captures what it’s like working on markers. They really can be the best of local history.

Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night. Settings > Apps > (pick an app) > Siri > Learn From this App TOGGLE OFF. You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡

I'll be doing an advent calendar of #SearchingSkills where you can try/learn something new every day. It will be primarily in PubMed and sometimes using MeSH terms to answer the question. It will be aimed at inexperienced searchers, but I hope experienced searchers will join in too!

The light is on for Rachel Abbey McCafferty! @ramccafferty.bsky.social! 💡 "Again and again and again and" is a brilliant apocalyptic story that speaks to the cyclical nature of history. (The final question the story poses is also especially relevant!) Read it now!
