Thread alert! If you want to learn more in #disabilitystudies there are a lot of open access resources. Let’s start with Disability Studies Quarterly (dsq-sds.org), one of the leading journals in the field, which is 100% open access.
Other open acces journals include Disability in the Global South (dgsjournal.org) & Review of Disability Studies (with a delay: rds.hawaii.edu)
I personally link to my articles on my website & anything that is behind a paywall I put up as soon as I’m allowed under the publishing contract. I particularly recommend the convo between @JulieMinich, Jina B. Kim & me in the open access journal Lateral.

Some folks like @JayDolmage have worked to get even academic monographs made open access. Check out his book on #AcademicAbleism here: quod.lib.umich.edu/u/ump/mpub9708…
I know that none of this fixes the inaccessibility of academia. I know reading alone doesn’t replace being in a classroom with a professor & peers. But I do want to make clear that folks in disability studies are actively, regularly fighting ableism & exclusion in the academy.
Many of my DS colleagues are disabled & fight for their own #access & accommodations. Many of my disabled graduate students get forced out or overwhelmed by the ableist assumptions & norms of this space. It is violent & painful at every level for disabled folks in #academia.
But by being here we in Disability Studies work hard to change it. We force our colleagues & administrators to reckon with disabled bodyminds out & proud in classrooms & lecture halls & sporting events & dormitories. It is slow. It is hard. But I am hopeful that it will pay off.

My co-author & I have so much fun. I never would have imagined co-authoring to be such a delight, but it is! I love writing on my own, but collaborative thinking & writing is such an invigorating experience. We produce work that’s better than what we could have done individually.
I wish co-authoring was more accepted in the humanities. We’re both pre-tenure & know that to get tenure we have to still both produce independent work & publish our co-authored material in the highest rank journals we can manage in order to be taken seriously by our institutions
I hope that gaining tenure means I can do more collaborative thinking & writing in the future.

“Bodyminds Reimagined is a book for people who love speculative fiction. It’s a book for people interested in understanding representation in fiction. It’s a book for people interested in representation in real life and what it means to participate in a culture...”
“... that acknowledges the experiences and contributions of everyone. It’s a book for people interested in expanding their understanding of literature. And it’s a book for people who want to expand their understanding of the world”
🥰🥰🥰 This is so lovely and kind.

Fuck the idea that challenging toxic norms of traditional monogamy is a “university PhD thesis worthy idea.” I learned the most about #polyamory from ppl w/out degrees. Fuck the idea that ppl without formal higher education “have less complicated stuff going on in their heads”

If folks need examples of the wide variety of people who practice non-monogamy is a number of ways, under different circumstances, I recommend checking out @PolyRoleModels

Gli esperti lo ripetono ormai da diversi anni. Con un’alimentazione sana si prevengono fattori di rischio importanti come il sovrappeso e l’obesità. Una dieta povera dal punto di vista nutrizionale, invece, può facilitare lo sviluppo di diverse neoplasie.

I’m going to set things straight here.
I’m not egalitarian.
I’m not a third wave feminist.
I don’t like the complementarian title because it has a lot of baggage and broadly tends to water itself down to gender roles.
I support the pursuit of justice.
#thread
I want to see the truth- for women and men- and for that reason I don’t support people simply based on their gender.
I believe abortion is murder.
I am a Presbyterian Calvinist.
I am not liberal in my theology.
I want to learn more about racial reconciliation.
If you chose to harass me, disparage my character, etc, I’ll block you.
We can disagree.
You can follow me if you disagree.
But if you’re an asshole, I’ll block you.

✨🧠 The ecosystem that has grown up around @TensorFlow in the last few years blows my mind. There's just so much functionality, compared to some of the other, newer frameworks.

👉Consider this an ever-expanding thread for me to take notes + wrap my brain around products. Ready?
1) @TensorFlow Extended (TFX)

It's no secret that I 💕 #TFX and all of its tooling for deploying machine learning models into production. If you care about keeping your models up-to-date and monitoring them, you should check out the product + its paper.

tensorflow.org/tfx/?hl=zh-cn
2) @TensorFlow Hub

If you want to train your model on a small data set, or improve generalization, you'll need to use something called transfer learning. #TFHub modules make it easy—and are available in an #OSS marketplace: tfhub.dev.

Connecting Social Psychology & Astrology Thread: how cognitive biases may be negatively impacting your practices
First, I do want to make it clear that this thread isn’t being made to make anyone feel guilty for having cognitive biases. Cognitive biases are primarily subconscious/unintentional tendencies. This thread is here for self-reflection because anyone can benefit from it in some way
This also isn’t just going to be a thread about people who partake in spirituality and astrology either, I’m going to discuss biases that “nonbelievers” subject themselves to as well (Each bias can have examples for both sides)

My current shelfie. I’ve collected a few new books this summer. These will all be fast reads for me. Read this thread to see what I mean:
I try to read 250-300 books each year. That means about a book each day, six days a week. But I’m not a supergenius speedreader; I’ve just figured out how to “triage” my desire to read broadly.
Most of the books I read each week will get 20-30 minutes of my day. I’ll focus on the TOC and the introduction of nonfiction works to get a map of the contents and organizing ideas of the book.
