There is an academic book that I need in order to work on some of the reviewer comments on a paper. I no longer have institutional library access as I'm inbetween PhD and postdoc at the moment. I managed to find one website where I could purchase it as an ePub...

I am once again begging academic publishers to make books available in PDF. While some provide eBooks, these tend to be accessible only on proprietary e-readers, which are incompatible with screen-readers and other accessibility software 🫤 Sincerely, a very eye-strained vision impaired researcher.

Revising a paper without institutional access is going to be really difficult. There's many resources I need that I simply cannot access. I will be aligned with an institution again soon when I start my postdoc (in a few months), but the journal editor wants the revised version before that. Advice?

I don't suppose anybody has access to this article and could share a PDF with me? I've lost my UoM library access now, and I'm a few months off the postdoc starting... Ezedike (2018) "Ratiocentrism, Intrinsic Value, and the Moral Status of the Nonhuman Natural World" www.pdcnet.org/enviroethics...

You know how weather forecasts say it's x degrees, but feels like y? Clocks should do the same. It's 6pm but it feels like at least 10pm.

Sorry to break it to you, but the number of tabs you have open is not a reliable indicator of the depth and significance of your research.

When it comes to climate change, why can’t the answer always be ‘no’? Surely, the problems we have are because the answer has been ‘yes’ far, far too often? Surprising that they have the courage to say no to pensioners & Waspi women but not to an airport company.

I keep reading and hearing that political leaders and analysts should understand Trump’s behaviour as transactional. The word you’re looking for is ‘corrupt’.

Judith Renner is convening a panel on animals in international relations at this year's @europeanisa.bsky.social conference in August. This is a important and sadly overlooked topic; I won't be able to make it, but I encourage people to submit! eisa-net.org/section-list/

Having a sort of "stress-comedown" where I just feel mentally exhausted and can't focus on anything at all. So, that's unhelpful.

When it comes to animals, the term "invasive species" and its corresponding narrative seems ethically uninformed and inconsistent, and in the hands of some, aggressive, emotional and hypocritical. Am I wrong? Is there anything to be said for its ethical basis?
