It is, indeed, the final day of our #crowdfunder (www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/poetry-for...) to be able to pay our #disabled artists, venue, #BSL interpreters, and videographer, though you can continue to send us money via that and Kofi (ko-fi.com/poetryforalluk) afterwards.

It's @poetryforalluk.bsky.social (York & livestreamed) Friday. Yet again we're deemed unworthy of arts council funding. If you'd like to demonstrate that there IS demand for accessible poetry by disabled poets, you can attend, contribute to our fundraiser, or buy our merch: linktr.ee/poetryforalluk

You know that you can discuss overwork/"Zoom fatigue" without crapping all over hybrid engagement and participation for disabled/chronically ill people (students, teachers, researchers), right? Many administrators & journalists appear not to know this, at least. Not linking the WaPo piece, either

I know, as a disabled & neurodivergent 'occasional storyteller,' how inaccessible #arts & #performance events can be. (That's why I'm only an occasional storyteller.) Can you donate to an event that aims to make performance #poetry accessible to more disabled poets? #disability

🚨IDEA ALERT🚨 I think universities could do a whole lot better at supporting PhD students & research/teaching staff with mental health conditions. There’s strength in numbers, so I’m thinking of starting a network for academics with MH issues for mutual support. Would YOU be interested? #AcademicSky
