Love this thread on how athletes utilize different variations of the same assistive technology for specialized tasks! I continue to be super excited for the upcoming #Paralympics2024

[Marty Heath @heath_nerd]

@HeatherFunk_ @zencoffeebreak For real. With 0 spoons it is totally possible I can't make myself eat anything at all. maybe an Ensure that I can get down in 2 gulps? but getting out of bed to even get that isn't guaranteed.

My first journal article was published this week and is now available for download! 🥳

In it, I talk about the role of whiteness and intimacy in depicting desirable disabled masculinity in (mostly queer) fanfic. Plz take a look / share 💜

Hi all! I am currently working on my dissertation and would love if you would share this flyer with anyone relevant. I'm hoping to interview people who have used 3+ prosthetic limbs over their lives & will provide any participants with compensation for their time.

Happy finals week, or as I tend to observe, Happy Clean Apartment Week!

[Marty Heath @heath_nerd]

Body & Culture is a very broad division with interest in any work on bodies / embodiment across disciplines and methodologies. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss whether a potential project would be a good fit. I look forward to reading your submissions!

[Marty Heath @heath_nerd]

It continues to be ridiculous that the world's deadliest infectious disease is CURABLE, yet six people died from it in the time it took me to write this tweet. @DanaherCorp denying millions access to affordable, accurate TB tests is unacceptable. #PeopleOverProfits
