If we want museum workers, precarious academics and others to be able to make knowledge, we need at least an understanding that academic publishing is designed to exclude them. Meanwhile the government wants to give my book to AI companies that will use it to make money.

Could you add me. Not in a big posting mood right now but I’ll find my way there eventually.

Can recommend “they don’t make plus sized spacesuits” by Ali Thompson as a set of short stories on this

Definitely. I thought it was Cupid when I first saw it.

I wonder if it’s also a nod to all those stories of children befriending dolphins in Pliny? www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?...
