Is this a website where I talk seriously about disability and my research interests, or is this a book blog? I couldn’t decide, so I decided that it could be both. Welcome to the chaos!
About Me
I’m Connor, a writer, book blogger, and activist from the UK. I thought I was going to have a career in academia and then I realised very quickly after starting my PhD that this was not the path for me, so I left it and started my own business, helping other people make inclusion and diversity a priority. If you want to find out about all of that, head over to CS Inclusion.
I write about life as a disabled person, particularly my interactions with other people and how they view disabled people. I also want to write a book but I’m going to make you absolutely no promises on that front.
Check out my about page for more info about me, and feel free to send me an email, though I can’t guarantee how quickly I’ll reply, I do my best though.
But it’s also a Book Blog?
Yes, I’ve ignored the advice of literally everyone on the Internet who says you should have a purpose for your website and not make things too confusing, and this is also the home of my book blog. Don’t ask me what genres I read, because I’ll tell you everything (with the exception of horror), but particular favourites are fantasy and historical.
\If you’re an author who would like me to review one of your books, please read my review policy before sending me an email.

- Writing and places to existI used to use this blog as a place to put my thoughts. More of a journal, I suppose. With the really private, embarrassing stuff taken out.

You are told that you must learn…
- Could I teach ChatGPT to write instead of me?I’ve become quite interested in ChatGPT and what a language model can do.
