On an adventure to Cambridge for a much needed holiday. 😎

Useful bit of info for my heritage / academic colleagues who have used WeTransfer...

“AI is a disability accommodation.” Nope! You’ll never convince me this is true. Disabled people have more innovation than most people because we have to. Living in a world that wasn’t built for us means we have to uniquely adapt. We’ll always be more innovative than AI.

Israel is never mentioned once in the movie, though.

22 hours left! A team of youth in Gaza know the risks of serving their people, but haven’t given up. They manually built a space with internet & electricity so their neighbors could connect to uni studies & remote jobs—income to stave off famine. 168/350 chuffed.org/project/spark-…

We are so close!! 3 hours left to save Spark Space 439/500 chuffed.org/project/spark-…

Really happy to have been asked to contribute to Bad Ancient by answering the question: Did King Tutankhamun own a dagger made from a meteorite? If so, who made it, where did it come from, and why was it buried with him? Read my article and find out more: badancient.com/claims/tutankh…

So pleased to publish this article from a great new contributor. Check it out! badancient.com/claims/tutankh…

This is a reminder that academics who say they are gonna make changes once they get in, get on the ladder, get tenure, get promoted, become admin, always sell out. I have never come across one that hasn't. The masters tools will never dismantle the master's house.

Keir Starmer says that the UK will recognise Palestine in September if Israel doesn’t agree to a ceasefire. That a cessation of hostilities is even part of the conditions for recognition of Palestine is a sign of weakness from Starmer. Nonetheless, Israel is on a losing trend.

What the fuck is this? The Palestinians have an inalienable right to a state in their homeland. Starmer is using that right as a way to threaten Israel to allow for aid? Jesus fucking christ.

Disability isn’t outside the labor struggle, it’s central to it. Capitalism creates debility by designing work that breaks us down and then discards us. Disability is not just a medical category. It’s the byproduct of violence, extraction, and neglect.

Well Wednesday came and went and we didn’t even get close to this tiny goal 😞 3 young kids are taking care of their dad who just came out of a second surgery. They need food, shelter, & their brother’s weekly cancer treatment. 157/450—by end of Monday. chuffed.org/project/help-a…

Dear Department for Work and Pensions, Really not a clever idea to try and contact me on a Sunday when none of your own lines are open and it's impossible to get back in touch with you, isn't it? Needlessly stressful. Please do better.

Excited to be speaking at the Collections Trust's online conference on the 2nd October, where I'll be part of a panel discussing what's next for collections management in the museums and heritage sector. You can find the full programme via this link: collectionstrust.org.uk/events/confere…
