I haven't talked about this here yet!
I'm writing quick, simple tools for people with spicier neural persuasions (ADHD, autism, etc.). The first tool has already been a big hit, it's a magic todo list that will automatically list all the steps involved in a task you add!

Heartening to see huge crowds of support in pictures from rallies & marches happening all over the country this week 💖

Rally at Scottish Parliament for #ucuRISING day 3, featuring #solidarity from CWU members also on strike today.

I helped a bit with this 'Epic Autism Resources' Padlet collection, started by Andy from Spectrum Gaming and built collaboratively with myself and a few other #actuallyAutistic and other neurodivergent people involved in education.

If you think we've missed anything important, anyone can make suggestions.

Hopefully this is useful!

A significant part of my job is to support researchers navigate their funders' increasingly complex open access policies, and persuade them to make their work more open. I'd be much happier to do this if many of them weren't struggling on temporary and zero hours contracts, stressed out with unmanageable workloads and fighting a racist, sexist academy. Oh yes, so you've got a lot on, but can I interest you in the differences between Jisc and Plan S transformative journals? #UCUstrikes #UCUrising #ScholarlyCommunications #OpenAccess
I was able to donate £45 to the RMT strike fund today thanks to sales of my pro-union badges. I'll now be donating 50% of sales of those badges going forward to the CWU Royal Mail strike fund https://penfightdistro.com/strike-fund/
