A librarian. I work at / for the House of Commons Library.

Interested in how Parliament works and how Parliament makes its work available to you. Domain driven librarianship. Something along those lines.

Wary of pragmatists.

Conker, with a conker, last weekend in Brockenhurst.
In the foreground, a conker on the edge of a table. Behind the conker, a Welsh terrier called Conker has popped up to better examine the conker.

No, thank you
A market stall and stall holder. The goods are model locomotives. The stall holder is holding a ten pound note.

That was excellent. They’ve run out of Guinness. And I’m fine with it. Transformative.

Alt text on the images, no further notes.
A toilet paper dispenser. Sheets are pulled from the bottom of the dispenser. It works fine. 10/10. A toilet paper dispenser. It’s madly defensive. Sheets can be pulled from one of two tiny little outlets. Like eyes. Or nipples. It’s all very upsetting. Not least because it regularly chokes. It’s nice that you can see the loo roll when it does choke though. 0/10.

This wasn’t Phil’s first appearance at an SPG conference - together with our Jayne, also the author of the fish of delegated legislation scrutiny, unveiled in I think 2019. Still got it.
A chart showing days to approval of draft affirmative statutory instruments. It looks like a fish.

@fantasticlife.bsky.social Saw “joins” and thought of you.
Blurry photo of closing paragraph, p.53 of “Complexity simplified”, Platformland, Richard Pope. “Rather than services being organized around the shape of the public sector, the work of government needs to organize around services and infra-structure. However, teams tasked with solving complex societal problems must avoid falling into the trap of assuming that every "life event' can be addressed by a single, new abstraction ser-vice. More often than not the answer will lie in better joins.”

Stop the pigeon.
Outside a tube station not at midnight. But at night. A bar, well above head height, projects out from a post at an entrance. The purpose of this bar is not, or no longer, clear. Nevertheless, there are spikes across its surface.
