unsure if these things are transferable, but if anyone can no longer attend the @durhamimh.bsky.social Critical Neurodiversity Studies conference online & would like to pass their virtual place on, please DM me! It’s very useful for my PhD proposal & illness/stress got in the way of me getting one

employed for the rest of 2025 (part time for a non-profit, yay!) & hoping the lessened financial stress will mean I can be present again. feeling very upset about the Supreme Court ruling and wanting to intentionally include nb/trans experience into my proposal & focusing more on neuroqueer feminism

2 months into this CFS flair up and back onto graded exercise, good to know it works (managed to hike snowdon last year!) but the first few weeks feel horrific. using phd proposal prep / reading as motivation! it’ll be nice to read more than i currently can and focus again

I appreciate online conferences as much as the next chronically fatigued autistic but I'd also like to see more in person conference accessibility (e.g. encouraging of masking) so we don't have a disabled/abled segregation system where disabled people miss out on the booze and gossip.

enjoyed helping design the poster / doing tech and admin for the Hegel in Ancient Greece workshop yesterday! It went so well and feel very proud of Chris :D whilst it’s not my area of expertise, I feel very grateful to have the opportunity to listen and (try to) learn from some fantastic people!

something I’ve found incredibly helpful when learning about the neurodiversity paradigm, psych reform vs abolition & mad studies is conceptualising *what* these futures would practically look like. Trying to engage in a lot of different literature to write up some conceptions at the moment

Thrilled to have a chapter in @lisabortolotti.bsky.social’s and all’s fab book on #EpistemicJustice. Mine explores how epistemic justice can help us understand how different diagnoses ‘do’ very different things in interaction, using BPD vs depression as examples. I argue we must reimagine diagnosis!

almost 2 weeks after the tmtbt conference and I’m slowly recovering from the knock on flair up! starting to work on my first blog post and trying to get over feeling like I have far too much to learn before attempting this, but we’ve all got to start somewhere :D

coming to the end of my final book regarding desire & currently writing about how marxist feminism, queer theory and critical hedonism can help us redirect our desires away from capitalism and social norms! also got this badge from Queer Lit in Manchester yesterday :DD

a stack of books held up infront of a plant and print of a painting by Elizabeth Rowe titled 'dysphoria'. the books, from top to bottom are: the right to sex by Amia Srinivasan, gender trouble by Judith Butler, Straight sex by Lynne Segal, Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown, tomorrow sex will be good again by Katherine Angel and imtercourse by Andrea Dworkin.

a badge that says, in pastel rainbows colours, 'neurodivergent and queer'. it has four stars, a rainbow and a planet on it too!
