In no way an antidote to the horrors in the world … I know … and yet I find in nature some comfort

On visit to NYC noticed this gorgeous advert in the main Sephora store! A large image that greets you as you enter. BRAVO #Sephora for not going along with DEI purge.

I have just recorded a little video for @pluto-journals.bsky.social, the fantastic publishers of the International Journal of #Disability and Social Justice (@ijdsj.bsky.social). We've come a long way in 6 years! Thank you to all supporters, and to PJ for helping us to innovate. We ❤️ #OpenAccess

📢🥳👏Congratulations to Dr Shirley Barrett (@sspatleeds.bsky.social) on her doctorate! Shirley researched experiences of Gypsy/Romany/Roma communities when settling long-term on sites or in houses. Her study also included a powerful auto-ethnographic component

Warm TY 2 examiners & all who supported!

Thread! St Valentine’s Day today. Rather than posting “sugary stuff” 😉 I thought I’d share some of my favourite quotations about love! Hope some resonate… 💛

Just given a lecture on Inclusive Social Research to our postgrads. I really enjoyed writing this and sharing exciting developments across multiple fields. Would welcome more discussions on this topic.

Delighted to be listening to Prof Dina Kiwan at University of Birmingham and all those involved in the Disability Under Siege project, about the lives of disabled people in conflict zones.

I know I will learn much from listening to the many presenters today and tomorrow.

Very sad to hear today of the death of John Evans OBE, who was a leading advocate and activist for independent living from the 1970s to today. What a huge loss to the movement and of course to his family, friends, colleagues and comrades. They are all in my thoughts.

Sincere condolences.
