Keeping to time is an accessibility issue! People need breaks between sessions in conferences for all sorts of accessibility reasons - whether for cognitive load, to take medication, needing bathroom breaks, check blood sugar or anything else! Making an effort to keep to time is inclusive.

I'm now searching for new PhD students who are interested in studying how people's brains understand sequences of images like in comics. So, a mix of comics, cogneuro (EEG), and psycholinguistics (especially syntax/semantics). Please circulate to all who might be interested! tiu.nu/22739

Does anyone in Brum want these teaching books? The chances of me ever going back are slim to zero. Must collect as I don’t have time to faff about with postage. I don’t want anything for them. Happy to split them too.

The video coming out of Trump and Vance trying to pull an idiots tag team assault on Zelensky is grim. They act offensively in accusing Zelensky of being disrespectful for not kissing their arses. USA are no longer allies, Trump chose Russia. Europe needs to name them as arseholes and bin alliances

I just watched an 8 minute video that was meant to be a press conference between two presidents and a vice-president and what I actually saw was a couple of bullies harassing and talking over a man with amazing patience who wasn’t given a chance to speak. Trump and JD Vance are such horrible people.

People sometimes say kids don't read books any more. As a children's author who's always visiting schools, I can tell you: KIDS STILL LOVE BOOKS! Give them access to the widest possible range of books, free choice in what to read & the right to read for pleasure - and every child can be a reader!

Children's books are never "just" for children. They are books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are really books for EVERYONE, and you can never, ever, EVER be too old to read them, and to love them!
