We Lack Discipline

We are 'We Lack Discipline' - The Unofficial Primary School For Grown Ups! Currently a one-man team trying to smash down the barriers between academia and stupidity and encourage curiosity by making academic topics accessible for all Follow for new articles nearly every day!

Read the whole 🧵for some wonderful Welsh heritage.

A very happy St David's Day. It's a little known fact that I happen to be a half-Welsh boy raised in South East England. But when the daffodils are out I'm always aware of that ever-burning dragon's fire I carry with me.

Make sure you write your name on them in marker pen before they go out. I've heard things can 'go missing' around there...

If not for my post yesterday I may not have noticed this! Like my ideal mental age, We Lack Discipline is 4 years old! My sweary, informative, autistic info-dumping platform was the first step I took to changing my life.

@GreekMythComix You are very welcome. 😊 Nice to have a reason to post here again!

@wldiscipline That’s so sweet of you! Thank you

Celebrating a decade of cartoon joy; Odysseys, Illiads, capricious divinities, explorations of stories, interpretations of myths and fowl Romans - @GreekMythComix turns 10! I have broken my retirement to discuss my favourite comic. #GreekMythComix10 welackdiscipline.wordpress.com/2024/01/19/hap…

What's that I hear... ...Could it be... ...After 18 months of silence...

I thought it was funny...

@KarlAntMercer wrote a blog about the Assistive Technology: What it Means to Us exhibition at @MuseumLiverpool @irissirendi. Read it here - curatingforchange.org/2024/01/17/ass…

Reflecting on similar sentiments to @HanCockroft's interview with the BBC yesterday - bbc.co.uk/sport/disabili… 'Overcoming' disability barriers is often seen as a personal rather than social responsibility; with other's achievements weaponised against the disabled community.

@floschechter Presumably they'll broaden their reach and try and find someone with experience working in emergency services... Someone with experience as a firefighter, perhaps? ...probably not police, though...

british museum is looking for a new ceo and as a museum director, i could not conceive of a worse job

If anyone sees this or gives a shit - instead of giving me pity give money to a good cause instead. justgiving.com/page/festivefu…

When you spend nearly £100 of money you don't have, and have someone write off your car at a roundabout, just to feel the bitter sting of rejection. Cheers, life. Just what I needed.

It's about the time of year when someone posts this on Facebook and the boomers go absolutely nuts over it as the smartest thing they've ever seen

Shamelessly enlisting the help of celebrity support from @ParkinsonsUK ambassadors because I need all the help I can get! @DaveClarkTV @claire_mccollum @MrsAnneTwist @JaneHillNews @DeeringRob

Raising money in aid of Parkinson's UK because my ever-suffering, never-complaining, hard-working mum has had her life turned upside down by it. She doesn't think anyone cares. Prove her wrong? Share Donate Fund research Change lives justgiving.com/page/festivefu…

A 🧵 on why I am fundraising for @ParkinsonsUK. I don't go into my personal life a lot on here. I have always preferred to keep myself to myself. But I have recently gone through the worst trouble I've had in years and, as is often the case, it relates to my family.

The impact of Parkinson's on those affected is profound. This year I have spent more hours in hospitals, visiting and caring for my mother, than I have in museums. That is why I am raising money for @ParkinsonsUK. justgiving.com/page/festivefu…

After decades of Roman enthusiasm, years of self-led, fruitless and totally not respected learning and scholarship, and miles of travel, I finally got to go to Hadrian's Wall and see the dicks! I don't mean the phallus carvings, just all the other people who were visiting.

Surprised local 'philanthropist' Sir Roger didn't stump up the funds for this. Suppose they wouldn't let him stick a bedroom and kitchenette in each of the lifts and charge £2m for them.
