I don’t run a wet lab. I don’t study pathogens.
I study reality.

And in an airborne plague, reality says:
Clean the air. Wear the respirator.
Protect each other.

Because pretending it’s over is what’s truly unethical.

A word document with various logos. Text reads Neurodivergent experiences of archives - call for workshop participants Are you a (UK-based) neurodivergent researcher who has used archives in your work? Or an archive professional who would like to inform discussions on neurodivergent user access? Or a neurodivergent archive professional who can offer insights into accessibility? As part of the EDI Caucus funded project 'Divergent Minds in the Archive', we, a group of neurodivergent humanities academics, will be running a series of research and knowledge exchange workshops at archives around the UK, and online, in summer 2025. These workshops will bring together archive users and professionals to share archive experiences, identify potential barriers for neurodivergent users, and creatively 're-imagine' archival spaces through zine-making. The first workshop will be hosted by: • Imperial War Museums, Lambeth Road, London - 4 July 2025, 10am to 4:15pm. We can fund limited travel expenses for participants, including support worker travel and overnight accommodation where necessary. For detailed information about our London-based workshop, accessibility, and what participation will involve, please see this link. Deadline for application is Wednesday 4 June at 5pm. Future workshops will be held in Cardiff, Liverpool, and online - please sign up to our mailing list for more information in due course. Please feel free to get in touch with further questions at divergentmindsarchive@gmail.com. All the very best, Ria, Lucie, and Ann-Marie The project is led by Dr Ria Cheyne, Liverpool John Moores University; Dr Ann-Marie Foster, Robert Gordon University/Imperial War Museums; and Dr Lucinda Matthews-Jones, Liverpool John Moores University. Our partners are Glamorgan Archives, Gwent Archives, History UK. Imperial War Museums, Liverpool Record Office, Scottish Council on Archives, and Tyne and Wear Archives.

Are you a neurodivergent researcher who uses archives? We want to hear from you! We will be running our 1st Divergent Minds in the Archive workshop at Imperial War Museum on 4th July, 10-4.15. More info👇🏻. Sign up here lnkd.in/eUFBQg3p. Closing date for applications June 4th #skyhistorians

I’ve been thinking of you, Jon. It’s a bastard of a disease.

If love could save you and Richard, you’d both live forever.

1. Can’t help, sorry.
2. If you develop neuro symptoms, particularly if they get worse the longer you’re upright, please seek medical investigation of CSF leak. (Axial-force injury is a significant risk factor.)
3. 😭

Agreed - it’s super useful for the Senate.

I love how it enables me to tune out the bullshit of campaign messages, and focus on what really matters.

Amazing! Autistic woman’s life story somehow longer than actual life An autistic woman who started telling her life story 45 minutes ago has only just got to the moment of her conception, sources have said. Pippa Durham, 28, was attending a comedy night when the comedi...

Pippa Durham, 28, was attending a comedy night when the comedian on stage asked if she’d travelled far to be there. Eyewitnesses reported Durham responding: “I guess it depends on how far back you go,” before beginning with the industrial revolution.

There’s so much we still don’t know or understand about it all, and I find it frustrating that most of what we think we know is built on an intellectual house of cards. We need to go right back to the beginning and interrogate the assumptions.

These are really interesting thoughts, and I think exploring neuro inflammation and the paradoxical response will be key. But the mechanical side of things is problematic. The Monroe Kelly hypothesis is fundamentally flawed. And there IS lymph in the skull.

Thanks heaps for the share!

Thanks, good to see you too. Yeah, life serves up some shit sandwiches sometimes, doesn’t it? I hope it’s treating you better

A stunning sunset over the sea. The horizon is diagonal across the field of view.

There’s an update on the GFM, for anyone following along: gofund.me/c5633e48

Tomorrow’s biopsies are cancelled, & unexpected medical bills of $1,250 have cropped up.

But check out this spectacular Darwin sunset from last night! ❤️

If I was to move in with a partner, I’d lose what meagre independence I have: a partner earning $1,516.40 per fortnight cancels payment. Forced dependence. 🤬 Please sign & share.

I never knew I needed this.

How would you know whether it makes sense specifically for me to wear a mask?

And why would I care if you agree with me wearing it or not?

Thanks, Iain. Sounds like you’ve had a diabolical time of it, too. Very glad to hear you’re cancer free!

And while leaking bladder juice isn’t great, I’d take that over leaking brain juice, any day.

Oddly, I’m leading the research into CSF-lymphatic fistula, & finally making progress. 🤞🤞🤞

I see that happening a lot, Iain. You can always find 3M Auras at Bunnings, & a range at CO2 Radical online.

I’m not well. I’m leaking brain juice (CSF) into my lymphatic system, which has only been seen <40x before. Been fighting for care for 7 years, no luck. How are you?

Leaving the supermarket, a man leaned into my face and said, “it’s not 2020 - you don’t have to wear the mask.”

I said, “you don’t have to be a fuckwit either, but look at you go!” 🙄🙄🙄

People have reasons to be cautious. Leave them be.

I had to tell Mr. Musk that unfortunately he can't name his new death laser thingy the way he wanted, because the X-ray already exists

He's making a list (of federal employees),
He's checking it twice (marking some of the names with a pink triangle, some with a yellow star),
Mr. Musk is coming to town

Working all night on the rebranding of the Department Of Governmental Efficiency as the new National Agency for Zefficiency Integration.
Does anybody know what "Zefficiency" means?

Oh no, oh no, oh no! The dry cleaners lost Mr. Musk's laundry! Does anybody know where I can find a white cone-shaped pillow case? I can cut the eye holes myself

Thanks, Dolan. I think this review will (& should) take months, but it’s very promising. I’ll keep pushing on.

Who’s into Vikings? The University of Oslo is doing a survey to gauge what the public thinks of the Vikings.

Maybe people think of them more often than the Roman Empire? 🤷‍♀️
