It was fab to chat with Louise on Thursday for our Disability & Climate: In Conversation With session! Thanks so much for joining! ☺️

A plea to academic publishers: please stop publishing articles formatted in columns. It’s a pain for people using screen readers and is generally more difficult to read on a screen, which is likely how the majority of articles are read these days.

thank you!! everything is crossed...

I recently read the collection of essays Moving Mountains, edited by @louisekenward.bsky.social & have been working my way through those writers books & other work. They are all nature writing by disabled authors with no “nature cure” nonsense.

I have just gone straight ahead and deleted my account... I also spotted that AI-enhanced outputs were auto-enabled, giving academia the ability to create AI-generated reviews and podcasts!

Tomorrow...

Dear Universe,
I would like an infinite supply of new Abi Palmer writing please.

So grateful for @louisekenward.bsky.social “introducing” us via the fantastic Moving Mountains collection. I’m reading the books from this list, but if anyone has other recommendations I’d love them!

you and me both! Abi's 'Slime Mother' exhibition (the parallel work to Slugs: A Manifesto) opens in Sheffield next month & there may well be some online events/films online - the films 'Moving Mountains' features are also touring with online access (Abi Palmer Invents the Weather) if you google x

As someone who recently did a PhD and is keen to work on matters related to Physics and Astronomy, I looked at this. I’m ineligible as I’m not actually an academic in post but YOU might be. I was lucky to be taught by Lisa Jardine as an undergrad. She was exciting - & also really warm & kind.
