"Royalty was like dandelions. No matter how many heads you chopped off, the roots were still there underground, waiting to spring up again.

It seemed to be a chronic disease. It was as if even the most intelligent person had this little blank spot in their heads where someone had written: "Kings. What a good idea." Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw. It was its tendency to bend at the knees."

- Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay

Wir brauchen allumfassende #Inklusion. Von klein auf.

Viele Diskussionen zur #barrierefreiheit führe ich mit Menschen, die einfach nie Kontakt mit Behinderten hatten.

Wer mit Menschen mit Sehbehinderung aufgewachsen ist, für den ist eine #Bildbeschreibung selbstverständlich. Menschen, die Menschen mit Gehbehinderungen kennen, achten bei der Wahl von Lokalitäten automatisch auf stufenlose Zugänge etc

Inklusion hindert niemanden an irgendwas sondern erweitert den Erkenntnishorizont.

This is big. No #embargoes. No #APCs.

"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.

Here are the polls:
