Normalize graduate students using their accommodations. "It's grad school" doesn't mean a person suddenly loses their disability. The barriers still exist. #AcademicAbleism #PhDisabled #HigherEd #DisabilityTwitter

Do you ever read something and it's so interesting and overly stimulating that your brain races making all sorts of connections and developing research questions and then you're utterly exhausted all of a sudden because it was so much? Kind of a fun, nerdy #ADHD roller coaster.

It's been 3.5 months since we got our drone. Now starting to really enjoy the experience as we become more comfortable & aware of how it works.
Being able to photograph #StHelena from new angles has brought a new level of fascination.
Here's a shot of the Peaks today, 3 in one.

Fun fact: the word "bre" in Celtic languages means "hill". The word "don" in Old English also meant "hill". Thus the name of Bredon Hill literally means "hill hill hill".
(Pendle Hill is similar, deriving from Cumbric and Old English)
At first, I thought it rather funny to find myself way out in the Warwickshire countryside, #running on a recycled articial sports pitch. On reflection: weird, but probably not funny. #plasticwaste

So I'm #ActuallyAutistic and have been helping out with some interview panels to make them autism (and neurodiverse) friendly ahead of the interviews and um here's a #thread on changes I recommend based on my own experience of interviews! 1/

Or switch on your engine for half an hour. Calmly lock the doors and walk BACK to your house 4 a coffee. While the heater warms the cabin at 7am every morning! Neighbour driving me insane. Top tip night before windscreen wipers on switch off mid screen and 3 sheets newspaper.

If you haven't used a body double before, dooooo iiiiit. This strategy is one of the most useful tools for #ADHD ever.

My new word for the festive season: Santasmagorical - something with a dreamlike, fantastical, unreal, deceptive, or shifting appearance, a red coat and a long white beard. Sadly the Sydney Morning Herald got there first, in 1968. Sigh.
