@older I read The Mimicking of Known Successes a couple months ago and then passed it on to my wife. I enjoyed the noir feel and the novel take on humans resettling elsewhere in the solar system. As a nice bonus, the central but understated romance was perfect for my non-aro ace sensibilities.
Starting my thread with this essay about my books & my cats. I created it a few years ago & keep it updated. It's whimsical, it makes me happy, and it's a good intro to my writing. I hope you enjoy it.
Note: All images in the blog post had alt-text last I checked. Book pages on my site should all have alt descriptions as well. Should. It's a work in progress.
Today in things I'm proud of making: this brand-new blurb graphic for my ongoing series, the Rollover Files.
TL;DR pitch: midlife crisis superpowers. Contains swearwords, moms & teens saving the world, idealism, and good people dealing with bad situations as best they can. https://books2read.com/kmherkes
So is this the deal with the new @eLife system:
1- you send your preprint
2- it is reviewed (if they so choose)
3- you eventually upload a final “version of record”
4- you send that version (+reviews) to another journal for publication
Has anyone tried that step 4? Do the “other journals” accept to publish something that’s already been reviewed & published by eLife?
Of course, you could skip step 4 but does having an eLife paper under the new system “count” for your CV?
@elduvelle I think it does. It's the equivalent of f1000 research or wellcome open research paper being accepted past peer review stage.
It's a public statement that the paper has changed to the satisfaction of @eLife reviewers, which in itself is a CV worthy achievement, personally. #academicchatter@academicchatter

Oh great someone posted a thing about how “ADHD and autism are only disorders in a capitalist society” again.
Speaking as a person with #ADHD I say unto you all that this take needs to die. I can’t speak for #actuallyautistic people but ADHD is difficult in a lot of ways that would still be difficult in, like, a post-scarcity space socialist paradise or whatever!

@EU_Commission This is guarded good news, but it is about disability paperwork, which all disabled people have to deal with quite a bit.
What announcements are there about how accessibility will be extended and improved throughout the EU? How are disabled people being included in leadership in the EU?
