Keeping to time is an accessibility issue! People need breaks between sessions in conferences for all sorts of accessibility reasons - whether for cognitive load, to take medication, needing bathroom breaks, check blood sugar or anything else! Making an effort to keep to time is inclusive.

This is very sad indeed.

@nedpotter.bsky.social BOTH of my teens accepted offers from York yesterday. I may have mentioned you and libraries during the course of the day.

I’m not sure, but it upsets my brain.

@timdowling.bsky.social I’m so sorry to read about Nellie. 🥲

Something Between Us | Stanford University Press An anthropologist's quest to understand the deep social and political divides in American society, and the everyday strategies that can overcome them.

Hi everyone, my new book, SOMETHING BETWEEN US, is now available via Stanford University Press, at a 20% discount with code PANDIAN20. For the last eight years, I've been wrestling as an anthropologist with where we've landed in the United States.

I'm now searching for new PhD students who are interested in studying how people's brains understand sequences of images like in comics. So, a mix of comics, cogneuro (EEG), and psycholinguistics (especially syntax/semantics). Please circulate to all who might be interested! tiu.nu/22739

Does anyone in Brum want these teaching books? The chances of me ever going back are slim to zero. Must collect as I don’t have time to faff about with postage. I don’t want anything for them. Happy to split them too.

A tiny little zine named "A Zine About the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Why It Needs Your Help Today".

Today I made a zine to inform people about the EO that would gut the #IMLS. I was asked to share, so hey, why not share widely? You can download and print your own copies at drive.google.com/file/d/1DUsm....

The video coming out of Trump and Vance trying to pull an idiots tag team assault on Zelensky is grim. They act offensively in accusing Zelensky of being disrespectful for not kissing their arses. USA are no longer allies, Trump chose Russia. Europe needs to name them as arseholes and bin alliances

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Do the right thing here and sign.
It’ll probably make sod all difference but doing the right thing is all we have left now!

Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

I hope so too.

It was a horrifying watch. My admiration for the President of Ukraine has gone through the roof after witnessing that .

I just watched an 8 minute video that was meant to be a press conference between two presidents and a vice-president and what I actually saw was a couple of bullies harassing and talking over a man with amazing patience who wasn’t given a chance to speak. Trump and JD Vance are such horrible people.

People sometimes say kids don't read books any more. As a children's author who's always visiting schools, I can tell you: KIDS STILL LOVE BOOKS! Give them access to the widest possible range of books, free choice in what to read & the right to read for pleasure - and every child can be a reader!

Hi Melissa. Thank you for the lovely recommendations but I already claimed a book from another kind person. I think I’ve been fortunate enough to receive one of your recommendations before and it was very good!

That’s great - thanks! PayPal details still the same?

Also, the very kind Melissa responded this evening with some lovely suggestions from #buyastrangerabook day on Wednesday just gone, but I have already accepted one from you about the haunted house that doesn’t want to be sold, so I shall politely decline.

Please can I buy a copy of Orbital by Samantha Harvey - paperback if possible? And can I pay extra for gift wrapping and for it to be delivered to my little brother? Or is that all too much to ask?
