“Words matter in public health”! Loved this post, Jodi!
Poster for a call for submissions for the website Knowledge Stitch. The poster has an image of a laundromat, with blue machines and a red laundry basket on wheels.
This poster is a call for submissions with details on how to submit and guidelines, like keeping pitch to 250 words and including information like authors and disclosure statements. Looking for academic articles that have already been published and could be amplified further. There is also a black and white photo of a speaker megaphone.
Call for submissions! If you have published academic research, we want to help amplify it!
Send us a pitch, and share what you’ve been working on!

Universities want new business models, not just discounts.
As @theblochian.bsky.social (OLH Exec. Director) writes: Together we can move our university funding away from obscene commercial extractivists and back into scholar-led non-profit models

You can subscribe now on all the most evil podcast platforms (Apple linked below, but search on your fave). I hope you’ll listen, and share, and tell me what you think. I’ve never put so much time into any project, and certainly not into a podcast. So I am very curious about how it is received.
Attention Higher Education, which has much more in common with Starbucks than it would like to acknowledge:

A screenshot from Twitter. The original tweet reads: "Rapper Kenderick Lamar wore size 29 women's jeans to Super Bowl LIX." The tweet garnered over a thousand replies, most negative. I (Derek Guy) screenshotted that tweet and wrote: "so funny to see history repeat itself. men who wear slim fit and stretch denim—both of which were once considered strictly for women—criticizing kendrick for wearing flares bc they were on the women's aisle. in ten years, you'll be in flares clutching pearls about something else" Then another user replied to my tweet, saying: "Wearing women’s clothes has never been in style, homo."
Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵
Thank you!
Oh thank you for making this! Please add me! 🙌

What have Russell Group universities been doing with all the money they got from hovering up all the home students after the lifting of the student numbers cap? Incredible to me they screwed the rest of the sector while still not avoiding gigantic deficits www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
(1/6) NHS Cheshire and Merseyside is considering stopping gluten free prescriptions, and they want feedback from those living in the area. A six-week public consultation is now open to gather views before the decision is made.
Yikes! 😳

Hopefully I’ve posted this all correctly! 🙃 6/6
Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for the support! 5/6
And if you’re looking for a new space to amplify your academic work, there is a submission feature! If you have publications that aren’t open-access, you can still share about your work and offer some key findings for readers – I hope you’ll consider a submission (knowledgestitch.com/submit/)! 4/6
I would be grateful if you shared it with friends, neighbours, colleagues, students, etc. I’m really hoping to attract a wide audience – an audience who is excited about evidence-based research. The first newsletter is on open-access publishing (thestitch.beehiiv.com/p/on-open-ac...) 3/6
So far, there are over 70 articles on the platform, and I’ve (finally, and very nervously) pressed ‘publish’ on the accompanying newsletter, The Stitch. It’s a free newsletter, and I’d really love your support. Here’s the link to the newsletter sign-up (thestitch.beehiiv.com/subscribe)

I’d like to share a project I’ve been building out, as I’d really love your support!
www.KnowledgeStitch.com shares open-access, peer-reviewed research in the social sciences – research that has already been published, but that can be sometimes hard to find, especially for non-academic audiences 1/6

Getting the awkward first post out of the way. Happy to have found another space to share and connect.
This looks great!
