I'd like to bring attention to the fact that this device is now available to pre-order for an eye-watering £500, with no returns allowed if you decide that self-administered electrocution isn't your cup of tea. People are desperate for relief and I worry how many will bankrupt themselves over this!
Tomorrow marks the start of my #Dance Residency with Dance City. I'll be exploring #urban #affect and its impact on the Tourettic body, and considering the value of tics in performance spaces for translating experiences of #TouretteSyndrome! 🕺

To some extent this is a film about being free to tic, yet concludes in a documentary styled advert for self-administered electrocution as a means of 'controlling' tics. Why is everyone so unwilling to engage critically and call out sub-humanising practice? We don't have to settle... 🤐
This is how it feels to research Tourette Syndrome. My resilience is starting every single publication/presentation (in medical, social science, humanities and arts spaces alike) with "Tourette Syndrome is categorised by motor and vocal tics..." or something similar. 🫠

Amazing, I'll signpost them to you to reach out to! Thanks!
I've got a student who would love to do some #PhD research on #TouretteSyndrome and the dismantling of the invisible/visible disability binary. Is there anyone in my network in the UK who is accepting #SocialScience PhD students / sponsoring them for #ESRC funding?

Something doesn't sit well with me, seeing the same people in the Tourettic (Read: #TouretteSyndrome) community who publicly accuse social media creators of faking tics whilst simultaneously being excited about a non-Tourettic actor *acting* #TS in the new "I Swear" film...

Hi BlueSky. Here's your semi-regular reminder to stop calling people 'dumb' (or things like this) for their political views... or *anything* for that matter! Your ableism is not excused just because you identify as left-wing. 🫠

Social media app notifications are getting wild. Why am I being notified that someone "has commented on a post you haven't seen"? These apps are getting desperate to get people's attention now...
Had a wonderful day at the Wheely Workshop with @durhamimh.bsky.social and the Moving Bodies Lab today. My notepad and brain are full of thoughts to reflect on about things ranging from mountain biking to prams to museums, all connecting disability, moving bodies, and public space 🤩

So glad it was of use!! Happy to chat more if you have questions 😁
I’m so glad that you found use in this, we need to see more of these conversations! Today is actually my last day working on the Wellcome Anti-Ableist Research Cultures team, but the project website and future updates can be found at sheffield.ac.uk/ihuman/waarc ☺️

Ooh this is such a fun response! I'm literally just using an Asda branded A4 notebook here, but I swear by Leuchtturm dotted notebooks when I can get my hands on them for cheap! The fountain pen is a fine-tipped Kaweco Classic Sport in the colour 'honey', and I'm using Kaweco Royal Blue ink! 🤩
i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence
I thoroughly agree with Rob's call to share our practice, especially as geographers for whom many find ourselves working geographically from outside of geography departments, myself included. Lots of food for thought. For now, here's what today's practice looks like (In addition to BlueSky babbling)
My PhD supervisor @whatisrobshaw.bsky.social recently published a great paper that explores what geography 'looks' like, calling for autonomous ways of sharing images of our practice to diversity what geography looks like. Definitely worth a read if you get a chance!
