Im epileptic. I live with brain fog, and cognitive issues.
Reading, thinking and writing are things I value/consciously develop as a disabled teacher and writer, and I will never agree that we should be chunking down books even further. Disabled readers don't need to be pandered to like this.
YES.
This is why I will not have lower expectations of my disabled students. I DO expect them to do the work. Because my teachers made me do the work, and here I am, an insufferably argumentative academic whose ideal gift would be a book.
Just about everywhere I go someone is coughing sounds like the winter holidays again.
like i am not built for this social scientist life
i read social science things as they overlap with my teaching and research interests, but now i officially take my hat off to people who do this for the plot
give me dead philosophers who don't speak or just..... take my ass round back!

From @astronokaz.bsky.social: As part of Astrobites coverage of Black Space Week, we interviewed members of the Black in Astro community. Today’s interviewee is Flore Milien! ⚛️ 🔭 ☄️ 🧪 astrobites.org/2026/06/18/flore-milien-interview/
What is happening here, is not that disabled young people are finding reading inaccessible because its too long, its that many people simply dont have it in them (time, energy, interest) to read a full book any more.
But also, reading is sometimes boredom--and they just can't bear boredom.
finally finished transcribing an interview for a forthcoming chapter in a routledge handbook
and can i just say?
people say philosophy is hard (it is).
transcribing people who can speak for what feels like 20 minutes without a break may just be one of my new roman empires

I cannot stress enough that young people on social media have been saying different versions of "Expecting me to read is ableist" for several years
