I'm setting up an archive to document the disabled and chronically ill exoerience during covid for the future. Please share and submit anything you have! Full details at daisythechronicinvalid.com/post/the-covid… #DisabilityTwitter #DisHist #COVID19 #Archive #Disabled

#FiveStarReads ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This new release by @daisyholder is 'genuinely a must read' (~NetGalley): 📖 Queer Disability through History – The Queer and Disabled Movements through their Personalities 🏳️‍🌈 🔗 buff.ly/3YGocuF

@LouBell @socialhistsoc Will send you an email from my work email, sounds like our TfA history project would fit in here!

Are you (or have you been) involved in any exciting projects outwith academia? Done some cool public or community history? I would love to hear from you for the @socialhistsoc Community Exchange! Please do get in touch if you would be interested in contributing a blog!

Assuming no more delays release should be at the end of this month, so there's still time to preorder! Never realised how much of the publishing industry balances on the sharp end of warehouses so if you'll excuse me I'm going to set up a little altar and pray for the warehouse

Some nice reviews for Queer Disability Through History! No-one even forced these people to write this, it might mean it's not bad!

Thank you so much to everyone for sharing this and for your kind words! I was surprised to find when I opened twitter this morning to find that this whole website wasn't extremely quiet, just that it never told me about any notifications

But it's still a niche area that a lot of people think no-one will be interested in, so please pre-order it and buy it, and let me know if you can think of anyone who might be interested in reviewing it, or convincing other people to buy it, pass on the info!

A Disabled and Queer history book? In this economy? After all these years of shouting history at everyone until they relent and agree to be interested. You can preorder it now from wherever you buy books, including Amazon, Waterstones and loads of non-UK places. #DisHist

@LouBell Thank you! 😁

@daisyholder This is exciting!!

@SophieMattholie 😭 thank you!

@daisyholder Oh my god this is my dream book I am RUNNING to preorder

@Lucy_Webster_ Absolutely! I'll figure out how to do that from the publishers! (Apologies for the delay, apparently twitter said I'd had too many notifications and decided not to tell me about any of them!)

@daisyholder hey, I'd be happy to review on my newsletter and socials if you could send me a copy? :)

About 20 minutes after I got it

@BlondeHistorian I somehow missed all of this but it's pretty typical of how many people still respond to me being coeliac. I'm deeply inconvenient, but not because of my dietary requirements, because I spill my drinks and don't know how to have an appropriate dinner table conversation

@ConnorScottG I was the same until I downloaded the free version of the planta app, tells me how often to water things and where I should put them 😂 now some of them look a bit droopy but they're alive as hell and super in the way

I've had my new plants all of two weeks and they've already started dying. I do not understand how I am so bad at this.

@arevya This would be so great

Question to everyone in the game accessibility / a11y space 🐝 Does a sort of game accessibility newsletter exist out there? And if not, is that something people would be interested? Like monthly recap of accessibility news, tips and tricks, and so on❤️👀

@historyrosie @HistoryExtra EURGH I have no patience for these kinds of people 🙃 history is for everyone!

@RachelCDailey So very good. And FUN.

The UK Disability History Month theme is Disability, Children and Youth. For resources including a disability history timeline and oral histories check out @UKDHM website: ukdhm.org/disability-his… #UKDHM #LGBTQIA #Usualise
