"You can't talk about the history of tech without talking about the role disability has to play"
In this week's @TheTLS I share what I've learnt from the @DisVisibility project and Download this show podcast about disability-led innovation ("criptech")

''Waidner’s idiosyncratic prose painting by turns terrifying, transcendent and topsy-turvy images – from Thumper the rabbit at an orgy to that of Bambi Pavok’s mother being turned into a burger.' (@AliceLWadsworth)

[Brixton Review of Books @BrixtonBooks]

As we celebrate our 5th birthday, it should be pointed out that @HarperCollinsUK still owes us payment for the ad they placed in our very first issue, March 2018. Various attempts to retrieve payment have proved fruitless. Disappointing.

I reviewed Feste by Famille Flöz as part of @Sadlers_Wells 's London International Mime Festival

'When we are shown the mechanisms of the machine, will that pull us out of our suspended disbelief and distance us from the action on stage? The opposite, rather; we are on the side of the characters.'

I reviewed (and loved) All of Us by @chessmartinez at @NationalTheatre for @TheTLS
Feeling compelled to "let out the wobbly rage", while also experiencing a "surge of gratitude for this beautiful, messy life"

[The TLS @TheTLS]

'All of Us shows the impact of these policies on disabled people and those who love them, work with them, are friends with them, rely on them.' (@AliceLWadsworth)

Had the pleasure of meeting Mary-Ellen Archer (campaigner w/ @Dis_PPL_Protest ) and seeing their installations bringing attention to #StopTheCuts at Glastonbury

A 2016 UN report detailed the UK's "grave and systemic violations" of the Human Rights of people with disabilities

@Leon_C_C @michaelscaines @BrixtonBooks I took my lead from the stories themselves❤️

[Alice L Wadsworth @AliceLWadsworth]

@yazzarf @BrixtonBooks @KatyaTaylor Thank you Yara💛 I love how politically rich your fiction is so I'm glad you feel it's represented in the review

[yara rodrigues fowler @yazzarf]

Really touched by this thoughtful, politically informed review of #ThereAreMoreThings by @AliceLWadsworth in @TheTLS

"Rodrigues Fowler depicts agitation & revolution as a combination of person and shared moments, filled w hope, loss, loneliness & love"
https://t.co/vWAeqIu6ql

[The TLS @TheTLS]

'Above all it is a story of different women’s reactions to these changes, especially queer women. Throughout her novel, Rodrigues Fowler shows how the personal is political.' (@AliceLWadsworth)

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

The UK government has today ripped up the Refugee Convention - a longstanding international agreement. Priti Patel's racist Nationality and Borders Bill drags the UK's reputation through the mud.
