I know a mama who’s going to get misty when her three-year-old outgrows this cutie.

Good morning @ucdavis Riparian Preserve #ucdavis #naturetherapy

UC Davis continuing to excel...in ableism.

Online options should always be available. Train the trainers (using disabled-led training as we told you in the Demandifesto THREE YEARS AGO).

River otters at the @ucdavis Riparian Preserve this AM. And one having some Étouffée. #ucdavis #California #NaturePhotography

UC Davis is doing a lot of tours and that means they've been putting up a lot of sign boards.

If they'd followed the Demandifesto Action Steps, they would have had disabled-led training telling them this placement blocks easy access to wheelchair accessible paths.

The wheelchair needs flat concrete to roll. The signboard doesn't need it to stand. #UCAccessNow #Ableism #UCDavis

Sometimes it pays to read those omnibus emails... There will be construction at LaRue and Blue Ridge Rd./Orchard Park. Good time to expand your biking range if you weren't already taking your bike on commutes/errands. #UCDavis

Apparently, the Cal Aggie Alumni Association is hiring Student Event Venue Coordinators.

This is a position that really needs an anti-ableist!

The university charged me tuition it shouldn't have charged me - KEPT IT ONE MONTH - and didn't refund it with interest.

Due to the research I've done on carob's CA history, I'm a little familiar with the wrangling that happened over where UC campuses would be located. However, it was in regard to another campus.

This is my introduction to what was involved in "The University Farm" selection. #DavisCA #UCDavis

I decided to look up mentions of Davisville (what Davis used to be called). #DavisCA #UCDavis

Number 4 on my list is 5 Broadgate (built in 2016). Designed by Make Architects.

An unusual #groundscaper that is broad rather than tall. Reminds me so much of the ‘Death Star’ at #UCDavis. Nothing repeats, unusual window arrangement, random gaps etc.

I loved this one!

As the birdapp continues to implode, now is as good a time as any to announce my next steps to the 🐘 herd here:

Excited to share that I accepted a tenure track position in the Department of Design ⁦⁦⁦⁦⁦

Join me on my journey along with wonderful colleagues across campus as I start up a Spatial Politics lab!
