Sometimes being an interdisciplinary academic who uses creative research methods looks like this... Preparing for and looking forward to my research-focused Artist's Residency at The HopBarn next week! ✨️

Can we also include the postgraduate loan in this, which has been frozen at £21k repayment threshold at 6% since it was introduced

It seems like a lot of 'experts' on Tourette Syndrome are coming out of the woodwork since the BAFTAs, though it's strange that they seemingly can't even spell 'ticced' or 'Tourette Syndrome' properly, let alone understand that tics are involuntary 🫢

Stealing from the needy to line their own pockets – DWP hands out £12.7 million in bonuses, up from £11.2m last year.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Tonight, I Swear won "Rising Star", "Best Lead Actor", and "Best Casting". This is awful, awful news. 'Best Casting' implies Tourettic characters can/should not be played by tourettic actors. The others reward active choices to not cast disabled people. What a disappointment

Drop the charges. 🇵🇸

'I Swear' has made the BAFTA Longlist for 6 awards this year, including 'Best Film', 'Leading Actor', and 'Casting'. As a disability scholar focused on Tourette Syndrome, and a tourettic person myself, here's a couple of my concerns in a short thread... #TouretteSyndrome #BAFTA #Disability

This is Tiger. Tiger doesn't know about climate change, modern day facsism, or my ever increasing rent prices. Oh, to be a house cat!

My ADHD assessor told me that Tourette Syndrome doesn't exist in adulthood and so obviously I raged. Turns out he did it just to see if I showed signs of 'justice sensitivity'. I was diagnosed with ADHD, naturally... 😂
