Writing a blog post about historical sites and accessibility. Want to discuss how having accommodations makes them "inaccurate", other objections to (adding) accommodations (cost, etc) and am having trouble finding info. Any suggestions? Thanks! #AcademicSky #DisabilitySky #PhDSky #skystorians
You're making me feel old...
Unpopular take: I want there to be as much energy going into physical accessibility as there is going into digital accessibility. I don't want new software or AI tools hyped to me until we can get ramps, handrails, and accessible toilets. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY.
Dear news, your "in depth" coverage never is and you're missing important info and rarely ask the right questions. Do better.
I have no idea how the sitting skiers or any skiers don't fall over going around corners or are able to ski uphill. #Paralympics #MilanCortina2026
A tip for my fellow men: you can say “I’m not the best fit for this, have you considered my colleague?”
And a tip for museums/reporters/etc. looking for speakers and commenters: don’t know whom to ask? Try Women Also Know History, a great database of historical experts. womenalsoknowhistory.com
Sled hockey is fascinating. Glad for the detailed explanation about the differences on sticks, equipment and rules etc. #MilanCortina2026 #Paralympics
Yet another way that things are difficult for disabled people in #HigherEd #AcademicSky #DisabilitySky
I didn't know there wasn't supposed to be an s but now that I think about it that makes sense.
Thank you!!
Learning a lot about how various #Paralympic sports work. This is fascinating. #DisabilitySky #Paralympics #MilanCortina2026
Finally get to watch the Paralympics! Enjoying the women's biathlon. Amazed that no one has fallen over. #Paralympics #MilanoCortina2026
The news is emphasizing the increasing gas prices because of the war but not discussing the humanitarian and environmental impact of the strikes or using gas.
Amazing, thank you!
@juliocapojr.bsky.social is that you?
Yes!
I get to see you!!!??
I am on a #ScholarSunday post! #DisabilitySky
Is it a neurotypical thing to not call until the time you said you'd meet to say you'll be late? #DisabilitySky
That sounds like a choking hazard
Ironic that they're taught at the Salmon P. Chase (a distant relative) Center when he assisted escaped slaves and people who helped them and served under Lincoln.
That was my first and only. Which was nice since my intro to Doctor Who was Father's Day.
EBSCO, your website is appallingly difficult to use (keeps asking me to sign in when I am), inaccessible (can't download PDFs). Proquest, you're a bit better, but being able to download entire books would be nice b/c you're not set up for large print on a screen. #AcademicSky #PhDLife #DisabilitySky
I assume that, either that or she had a TARDIS.
Between work, personal, and school email, it's a full-time job just to answer them. Way behind on personal emails. #AcademicSky #PhDLife
Cool! Now if only I could go back a couple generations to find out who William's parents and grandparents were.
Thanks that would be great.
chuffed.org/project/crip... this is my regular reminder that we are still here and working to stay out of the red. Celebrate and honor Ramadan by considering spreading the word and donating to us. Let Gaza communications ring freely. You can't stop the signal.
Thank you! Feel free to share.
I heard about him years ago and did some research (there wasn't much available) and tried to figure out if we're distantly related but couldn't go back far enough.
