It was fab to chat with Louise on Thursday for our Disability & Climate: In Conversation With session! Thanks so much for joining! ☺️

A plea to academic publishers: please stop publishing articles formatted in columns. It’s a pain for people using screen readers and is generally more difficult to read on a screen, which is likely how the majority of articles are read these days.

It was so lovely to join @sarahbell85.bsky.social yesterday for the brilliant @sensing-climate.bsky.social series - recording, transcript & links to refs: captions & BSL #NatureWriting #ENvironmentSky #DisabilitySky #ChronicIllness @leverhulme.ac.uk @ukri.org sensing-climate.com/events/louis...

I recently read the collection of essays Moving Mountains, edited by @louisekenward.bsky.social & have been working my way through those writers books & other work. They are all nature writing by disabled authors with no “nature cure” nonsense.

I have just gone straight ahead and deleted my account... I also spotted that AI-enhanced outputs were auto-enabled, giving academia the ability to create AI-generated reviews and podcasts!

Tomorrow...

This week from @centreplacewriting.bsky.social PGR for @sensing-climate.bsky.social event with @sarahbell85.bsky.social - online free event Thursday at 2pm. #PlaceWriting #DisabilitySky #EnvironmentSky #AcademicSky sensing-climate.com/events/louis...

After a summer hiatus it was great to start the new academic year with some brilliant presentations from current PGRs @joeshute.bsky.social Domenic Suntrapak and @louisekenward.bsky.social - with thanks also to @supriyadhaliwal.bsky.social & Domenic for organising this fantastic pop-up event!

Coming up next week from @louisekenward.bsky.social with Sensing Climate @sensing-climate.bsky.social - online event & free to join.

Happiest of publication days to brilliant @mailbykite.bsky.social today - congratulations on the launch of Annah, Infinite @tiltedaxispress.bsky.social - good luck & sail well xx www.tiltedaxispress.com/annah-infini...

Dear Universe, I would like an infinite supply of new Abi Palmer writing please. So grateful for @louisekenward.bsky.social “introducing” us via the fantastic Moving Mountains collection. I’m reading the books from this list, but if anyone has other recommendations I’d love them!

As someone who recently did a PhD and is keen to work on matters related to Physics and Astronomy, I looked at this. I’m ineligible as I’m not actually an academic in post but YOU might be. I was lucky to be taught by Lisa Jardine as an undergrad. She was exciting - & also really warm & kind.

For more than 16 years, Disability News Service has broken important stories about the discrimination disabled people face every day across the UK. Now DNS is looking for new subscribers to help fund its work. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/disability-n...

This is exciting to have another journal in this space. Please share @mailbykite.bsky.social @kimmalinowskipoet.bsky.social @emilyhockaday.bsky.social @aislingwalsh.bsky.social @louisekenward.bsky.social @sonyahuber.bsky.social

One of the many small bits of writing I'm doing this month is academic essay on #NatureWriting and disability, but not working in academia now I feel out of the loop about new scholarly work in the area. I know @louisekenward.bsky.social is working on this area, but who else should I be aware of?

“FLOW doesn’t want your applause — it wants your bones.” A no-bullshit review of Kate Davis’s tidal, lyrical novel-in-verse. Grief, myth, survival — and the sea that swallows everything.

Wonderful to come across this gorgeous review of @katedavispoet.bsky.social new work FLOW @vervepoetrypress.bsky.social this morning! #BookSky #PlaceWriting thebrokenspine.co.uk/2025/08/31/b...

Since the start of COVID, the number of people reporting a disability soared. Yet the majority of the world acts like COVID is over, and Long COVID doesn't exist.

Idly looking online about literary prizes & found a new post on the Barbellion Prize! Sorry if I'm very slow to find this, I couldn't see a date but after a bit of a hiatus (following brilliant @lettymchugh.bsky.social winning with Book of Hours) whoop for more news soon! www.thebarbellionprize.com

"Perhaps it is possible to have a #body that is unruly, #broken, bruised & to actually be OK..To pick the shards of the broken vase off the floor & superglue #life back together, marvelling at the scent of the flowers.": buff.ly/Nade0rN via @theguardian.com #ChronicIllness #disabled

Are you interested in a semi-regular shared space online for writing/creating? It's something I've been thinking about for ages but the community I felt a part of at @edbookfest.bsky.social reminded me the value of these spaces. Let me know in the comments: louisekenward.substack.com/p/thank-you-...

"Publishing is, in many ways, a mirror of society at large. It reflects what people believe and want to believe. In this case: that illness can be controlled and avoided if only a person makes the right decisions. Lives right, eats right, moves right" #BookSky #DisabilitySky #NatureWriting

A huge thank you @edbookfest.bsky.social @rkrystalli.bsky.social @atarbuck.bsky.social Rowan Jaines & @portyliterary.bsky.social - everyone who came along & asked wonderful qus & @pollyrowena.bsky.social for photos on stage. Fantastic to meet people I've long been in touch with & to make new friends

I don't use the word 'best' lightly about literary things, but our agent @portyliterary.bsky.social makes the best jam. Fact.

I'm heading up to Edinburgh - this is where I'll be this weekend! Looking forward to speaking to the brilliant @rkrystalli.bsky.social with @atarbuck.bsky.social & Rowan Jaines - what an incredible panel! #NatureWriting #Disability #BookSky (It will be recorded) www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival...

As I'm packing for @edbookfest.bsky.social where I'm taking Moving Mountains w the wonderful @atarbuck.bsky.social Rowan Jaines & @rkrystalli.bsky.social, I'm looking forward to speaking with @sarahbell85.bsky.social for next month's @sensing-climate.bsky.social: sensing-climate.com/events/louis...

I've been taking extra care to rest this weekend, so I've had two slow mornings with tea and breakfast in bed, reading 'Moving Mountains', edited by @louisekenward.bsky.social . I love looking at the cover and the writing inside is just what I needed right now.

I joined a book club for the first time this month to discuss Disability Visibility edited by @sfdirewolf.bsky.social & we all felt like the essay format was particularly accessible, so next month we’re reading Moving Mountains edited by @louisekenward.bsky.social & I get facilitate! Thanks #BookSky

Many congratulations to our friend Dr Helen Scales on the publication of her beautiful new book Ocean Art: From the Shore to the Deep. Very chuffed that one of our images of beachcombed plastic has been included.
