BLOG POST: Simon Bowie writes for LSE Impact blog on the lessons to be learned from the British Library hack: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2025/12/02/dont-rely-on-government-to-save-the-british-library/

'The crisis at the British Library continues to be indicative of a wider crisis in UK Higher Education. Commercial software providers have failed us. The Government continues to offer little support. The only sensible course of action is to invest in people and to build our own community-led systems and infrastructures.'

Following a catastrophic hack British Library remains in crisis. Can it recover by refocusing on the people, skills and systems that enable it to function?

I've got a new piece at LSE Impact Blog today following on from my previous piece about the British Library cyberattack and arguing that, since the UK Government clearly doesn't care about the UK knowledge sector, we need to develop our own community-led tech and infrastructure solutions. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2025/12/02/dont-rely-on-government-to-save-the-british-library/

NEW POST: from the Experimental Publishing Group documenting the 'Database as Book and Lively Community Archive' experimental book pilot.

Based on discussions with the project team on how the different institutional backgrounds of the collaborators (or their lack) shape work on the pilot project. Audio recordings of the discussion are included in the post: https://copim.pub/instituting-database-as-book-and-lively-community-archive/

'The Independent #Intellectual vs #PostingZero and the #deadinternet' my short, ten minute introduction to SCREENSHOT BABEL, a workshop I ran with Ester Freider as part of The Cyberbaroque: A Neologism-Based Symposium, is now available on my Media Gifts blog:

Organised by Everyone is a Girl (EIAG) (https://everyoneisagirl.cargo.site/), and held at Anomalous in #London on November 20, 2025, the symposium explored the idea of the cyberbaroque allegory (https://everyoneisagirl.substack.com/p/i-lost-track-of-what-is-real-personas) through presentations, a reading, a workshop, and a film screening.
