As if the REF needed to be made any more diabolical…
So many England and Union flags out all over the place in York today, it’s a bit like being back in Glasgow. Makes it easier to spot your racist neighbours though I guess. Reminded of this Fugazi lyric:
“We draw lines and stand behind them
That's why flags are such ugly things”
Lol delayed reaction (and cool - though that festival just always means all the good rooms are booked for events as I remember from working at UoY 😆)
That picture is perfection!!
✨The Doing Disability Futures research project now has a shiny new blog and the first post (by me) is live! ✨

In which I talk a little about citation politics and weave a bibliographic tour of the key texts that have animated our work so far...
After the trans rights protest in York this afternoon - a beautiful show of collective resistance which made me feel proud to live here and be part of this community - I just keep thinking of the trans and non-binary people I saw weeping in fear and despair - some strangers, some people I love. 🏳️⚧️
It felt really special being there together 🏳️⚧️
Wow
Honestly that was pretty funny 😂 And shopping with you is a delight/experience 🥰
Definitely! Even Vast & Boundless sneaks in the story about going to the city and all that, that’s a little mini romance - and that one in less of a scary apocalyptic way than the others (if I’m remembering it right). You’re a (not so) secret romantic!
These beautiful gems are the work of my wonderful partner, @kennymooney.bsky.social 🥰
Doing Disability Futures has landed on BlueSky - and we have a website! - see thread below.

It was good of Japanese Breakfast to make their forthcoming album for me personally.
As a person with a strong and specifically working class West Yorkshire accent, this does not surprise me.
Given how much I talk IRL you’d think I’d love a platform like this. Turns out that talking to no one in particular and therefore Everyone in the World yet simultaneously Literally Yourself is not as easy as they make it look. Schrödinger’s audience.
Eeee! Available for pre-order! Tell your library pals!
Our volume, Critical Neurodiversity Studies: Divergent Textualities in Literature and Culture' asks 'what would a neurodivergent critical framework look like in literary studies'?

🫶 I like it very much.
Chelsea was my top artist. And that bloody plinky Sound Bath playlist features heavily across categories lol
Thanks for sharing! It was kind of a departure for me but a very fun one!
A photo of a book called Violence Elsewhere 2: Imagining Distant Violence in Germany since 2001 Edited by Clare Bielby and Mererid Puw Davies. The book cover is a pinkish purple image of clouds. The book is on a brown leather coach cushion.

Here I am moonlighting way outside my discipline (as if I had a discipline lol) with my take on Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria.
🩰🧙🩸
In the chapter I talk about affect, entanglement, embodiment, and the horror of agency
Feeling very grateful for such incredibly patient and thoughtful editors. 🫶
