Thank you! I will take a look

Teaching Otherwise: Neuroqueer Becoming and Crip (Non)Pedagogies It's been 9 months since I left the classroom. I wrote this towards the end of my time teaching and thought I would share it!

Yes, I did the presentation on PBS 🙂

Amazing, let’s chat! Really appreciated your insights at PARC conference 🙂🙂

From Neuroqueer Rhetoric to Neurocommunism: Ontology, Praxis, and New Forms of Life Some thinking I have been doing about 'Neurocommunism'

My first substack post is live!

‘Neurocommunism refers to a political ontology in which forms of collective life are organised around neuroqueer sensory, communicative and relational practices rather than normative capitalist productivity and communicability’.

I’d like to see your methodology please? Bc Limp Bizkit’s ‘Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water’ I think has the most ‘fucks’ on any album? And I think that’s an important factor

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

INTRODUCING! Hannah Spencer The new Green MP for GORTON & DENTON Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

In the heaps of shit this needs to be a day of celebration. Not really ‘too close to call’ was it?

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

I suppose the upside, Matt, is that your academic career is no longer the defining failure of your life.

Gorton and Denton is a clear litmus test for what sort of society we want. Do we want a representative who is a pseudo academic, divisive racist and misogynist? Or a plumber who fights for her community and her greyhounds?

Excited to be presenting at this next week!

I’ll be presenting a piece entitled:

‘Positive Behaviour Support as a Normalising Technology: A Cartography of the Mechanisms of Power in the PBS Competence Framework’

It’s free, come along!

As a society, we have leaned so far into the "we should only fund education if it leads to jobs" philosophy, that we have effectively eliminated the idea that school is for learning.

Truly, at this juncture, "what even is the fucking point?" can't be overstated enough.

Wittgenstein, probably

About 270,000 fewer children in England to get EHCPs under Send overhaul New special educational needs regime to result in far fewer children being given education, health and care plans

Extremely worrying stuff from the Labour government.
An abhorrent neglect for the human rights of disabled young people to have their educational needs met.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.

That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

This you Keir?

We need more compassion, care and empathy in Occupational Therapy. OTs have the chance to help disabled people thrive, and compassion, anti-ableism is how you get there.

The inevitability of the eventual downfall of Blairism paving the way for Farage’s fascism. Terrifying.

WAARC will be running an online festival on 20th April, bringing together researchers, self-advocates, and Disabled people to explore ways in which Disabled people can be better included in research. Registration and details: www.tickettailor.com/events/unive...

Yeah delivering ‘trauma informed’ training to the Gestapo will really sort this out

Start my morning everyday with BBC World Service and coffee in bed (I’m 30, it’s pathetic).
Thought I was still asleep living through a nightmare when, at 7am, I turn it on and hear about Elon Musk wanting to put AI Data centres in space.
It’s all fucking grim isn’t it?

I don’t think anyone is capable of being more of a cartoon villain if they tried

Hundreds and hundreds of people have joined the Green Party since this was broadcast.

Together - we are growing this movement.

crazy to think how i struggle to ask for any kind of help but the president of the united states asks "can i have your nobel peace prize?"

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities.
