It’s such a joy to read anything so well written! 😍

mindy ptolomey @mindyptolomey.bsky.social · Dec 6

Rarely have I been so enriched by reading - literary criticism but make it page-turningly good. For lovers of beautifully crafted + edited prose, with deftly woven themes + insights on gender on + off the page in works including Ibsen’s plays, the Brontës + Plath #books #reading

A book called seduction and betrayal by Elizabeth hardwick with introduction by Joan Didion that has an old oil painting on the cover a woman is in a dark room wearing a white night dress

“As someone who relies on the state for my survival, I have a healthy distrust of giving it any more power over my life than it already has. Though some people want the right to die, many of us are still fighting for the right to exist.”

This. It shouldn't be a guest lecture or a one-off training session or a project; universities need to be resourcing and investing in Neurodiversity Studies, and neurodivergent inclusion, for the long term.

Robert Chapman @drrobertchapman.bsky.social · Nov 22

Atm i'm being asked almost every week to give more uni talks, mainly as there are neurodivergent students interested in neurodiversity theory everywhere. It's nice to be asked, but would be much nicer if humanities departments actually advertised paid, neurodiversity themed lectureships.
