iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Ausome Charlie AuDHD @ausomecharlie.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I'm at #nlisn26 exactly where I need to be when I'm exhausted overwhelmed and I've used the wrong shampoo and made my scalp feel wrong. Ausome Charlie is speaking and making everything better :-)

Gordon White left us as well. A big influence on lots of my peers, who credit his Headless Rite description in Chaos Protocols as the 'gateway' to ending up stood beside me.

PJC left us a few weeks ago. I did Liber Null for years, both under supervision and on my own, and now I do at least 2 other things that are clearly in that format. I have major criticisms of his work, but he was massively influential including on myself. Rest well Arch Chancellor.

Vernal Equinox blessings from the equal Hodge and Podge. Sew seeds even though it might not be yourself that harvests them. May the infinite possibilities inside yourself not swing to extremes, but be balanced.

@nlisn.bsky.social "Emily [an anonymised pseudonym for the librarian] is autistic, and she described how she “always assumes that surely people will see the common sense in things”." "Emily" if you see this, we're at nlisn.org and there's loads of us.

Update from my house of pestilence: me and both my kids have got pretty bad fluid on our lungs and need antibiotics, somehow my husband has escaped it completely and is not a gracious winner.

I see sheep, fells and green things! There is a cool breeze and white flowers on the Blackthorn #home

#copimconference I'm heading home early as I just can't shift this chest infection and you don't want me coughing through your talks. I'll join you online for day 2 from the train. Have a good day, and message me about accessibility any time!

Loved this point! I began my accessible OA discussions thinking about plain language and lay summaries and it is great to finish our work by returning to where we started. So much more work to do, but don't worry, Copim's accessibility team will leave you with a well described list 😁
