    Rotation Curation for #Disability #rocur

    21st February 2015 /

    I’ve been curating the @OxfordIsYours twitter account.  It’s a RoCur (Rotation Curation) account for Oxford and the person who runs it said living in Oxfordshire counts. Basically RoCur is where there’s an account (often on twitter) where people take a week at a time to run it and share their experiences and tweet on the subject.  Most of these relate to places – like with Oxford Is Yours I’ve been tweeting about where I’ve been and what I’ve done – but some relate to hobbies or jobs or organisations or anything else. I’ve been enjoying it and have learned about a place in Oxford I’m going to visit soon I…

    In which I get Ranty

    21st January 2014 /

    (subtitle: and lose my shit all over the Internet.) This is ridiculous. In fact It’s the most stupid thing ever and frankly I probably shouldn’t dignify it with a response but I can’t let it go. There’s an American company called 3eLove. They sell a range of products with their logo on – the logo is a wheelchair symbol like you see on many different things but with the wheel replaced with a heart. It’s called the wheelchair heart.  I can’t remember if I’ve blogged about it before or not. Their products have a variety of slogans on as well as the wheelchair heart.  In 2012 my parents gave me…

    Legacy

    25th February 2013 /

    I can’t remember where but a few weeks ago I read something that I’ve been thinking about on and off ever since. It said that in the future our descendants won’t need to employ traditional genalogy techniques to learn about us. Because what they know about us will be from our facebook posts, tweets, and blogs. I like that idea because it means that potentially (should it turn out to be true) it means those in the future will know a lot more about my past then I will tell them. And they’ll know more about me than I do my own ancestors. I knew all of my grandparents and…

    >And now for something completely different…

    28th January 2008 /

    >Just thought that this was worth sharing… Will be back later, probably. Accept that some days you’re the pigeon,and some days you’re the statue. Always keep your words soft and sweet,just in case you have to eat them. Always read stuff that will make you lookgood if you die in the middle of it. Drive carefully. It’s not only cars thatcan be recalled by their maker. Eat a live toad in the morning and nothingworse will happen to you for the rest of the day. If you can’t be kind, at least have thedecency to be vague. If you lend someone £20, and never seethat person again, it was probably…
