Announcing New Welsh Voices in English Literature - a new research series at Swansea! I wanted to devote some of my @leverhulme.ac.uk trust fellowship to promoting work by other ECRs in Wales. I'm really looking forward to these two talks this semester, with Bridget Bartlett and Beth Pyner.

Time for another attempt to try to make a habit out of checking this app. Hi everybody!

🧨Hot off the press!!! Happy to share that my newly edited volume titled SHAPING INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES is now OUT with @edinburghup.bsky.social (in Sonya Freeman Loftis' brand new series on Early Modern Lit and Disability)

Posting to announce: 1. My visa for my postdoc in Swansea has officially been approved! 2. Alice Equestri’s Shaping Intellectual Disabilities in Early Modern Culture, to which I contributed a chapter, is out now! edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-shaping...

Read "Early Modern Neurodiversity: A Preliminary Research Agenda" by Bridget M. Bartlett and Bradley J. Irish, free in the new issue of ELH #S2O #OpenAccess via @projectmuse.bsky.social muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

Brad's and my article in ELH is out - and it's OPEN ACCESS!!! We're both still constantly learning on the topics covered, and this might not look exactly the same if we started writing it today. But we're both really proud of it! :) muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

Somewhat relatedly, trying to learn Welsh pronunciation when I still haven’t figured out how to sound normal with my new, deepened voice is a trip.

“Bryn” is Welsh for “hill” and also a gender-neutral name I tried unsuccessfully to make happen for myself. Now that I’m moving to Wales I can’t decide if it’s lucky I don’t share my name w a ubiquitous topographical feature or if it’s too bad because “Hill” is a great Nonbinary Noun Name™️

Been busy! But finally getting around to announcing: I’ll be moving to Wales in the coming months to join the AMEND project at Swansea University as a postdoctoral research associate. I am so grateful and fortunate to have this opportunity! 😊

It's notable that rfk describes autistic children as a destroyed "resource" when he complains about autism stopping people from working. Here you see how eugenic ideology functions as a bridge between capital and fascism.

idk who needs to see this but here is the photo that appears on the american pika's wikipedia page

EVERYONE SHUT UP my kindergarten teacher congratulated me on my PhD 😭

Since it’s World Autism Awareness Day, please be aware that I am now Dr. Bartlett after successfully defending my dissertation on neurodiversity and race in early modern English drama! 😱🤯🥳

Thank you so much to @shakeracepedagogy.bsky.social for having me on! What a fantastic conversation! open.spotify.com/episode/5RnZ...

Please… does anyone at SAA/RSA have a power bank? My phone isn’t charging with a cord and I’m getting desperate. 🙏🏻😵‍💫

Friends, Andrew Bozio and I made a thing. Please spread the word and consider getting involved. 💜

What if for my two-year hrt anniversary I did one of those “I an x months old” baby photos with a board that says things like “I have __11__ scraggly chin hairs”

Still (just) time to submit!

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is. They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring. So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

I'm seeing a lot of posts encouraging folks to buy and read trans literature. In that spirit, I've made the course calendar and some of the readings for my Contemporary Transgender Literature and Cultural Production course available: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Time to promote this essay again, I guess. medium.com/the-sundial-...

Once again checked the other site (bc some friends are still there) and saw gore and animals in distress in my feed. Why???? I know there are much bigger problems in the world, but what’s the strategy there?

What a whacky time to have just written a whole dissertation chapter about white supremacy, body language, and “useful” autistics who serve their own interests by serving the broadly ableist structures that be.

There is something disturbing - & downright ignorant - about how people that otherwise never mention or seriously care about autism (indicated by the outdated terminologies & framings used) are talking about it in relation to Musk (& double down if questioned by autistic people).

Deadline is tomorrow! Get those applications in! Remind your friends!

BlueSky needs to give us a bookmark feature! I have a mighty need.

If conditions prevent me from traveling to a conference for which I’ve worked really hard on my presentation, do I just take it off my CV and pretend like it never happened?

Taking another shot at using this app. I’ll be presenting on metaphysical poetry and autistic rhetoric as part of the Interepistemic Translation panel at #MLA2025 on Thursday afternoon. :)
