Friday. Friday. I hear it and I know.

It being Friday is as good a reason as any to read this today.

Happy weekend snails 🐌

[Queer Disability Studies Network @QueerDisability]

It’s Friday. If you can carve time& space out to read this it might speak to you. Especially if you’re in queer studies, disability studies, trans studies or intersex studies. Even if you’re not maybe it’s got something that will resonate in the time pressured academy we all face

[Ria Cheyne @riacheyne]

This is key - Cripping Breath is a project that works in Crip time, acknowledging how impairment & the need for different orientations in & to time can positively shape the research process 💪

[Ioana Cerasella Chis @CerasellaChis]

'The essential inclusion of diverse body-minds as researchers and research participants requires embracing snail time and snail pace for such inclusion. This work of slowing down is also the collective work of academics to make time for each other. Leave no snail behind!' 👇🔥🐌

Wondering why our article in @CJDS offers lessons from the snail? The snail helps us frame queer,trans,intersex&disabled experiences of academic&activist labour.Including a home it carries on its back,a distinctive mode&pace of transit&a non-normative body(for those who aren’t🐌)
