My paper on the relationship between asexuality and feelings of detachment from gender just won the 2023 Graduate Student Paper award from @socwomen-South!

I’m thrilled to see this work recognized by a feminist organization.

A quick summary of the paper:

Accidentally read that title as "The Ghosts of Therapist" and y'know I am excited for June either way

@mkelliotmk as the person who maintains their own pixie cut, I would encourage it - if you get clippers with guards to make it pretty foolproof first

One of the cruelest things about Autistic/ADHD masking is that you learn to treat positive emotions as a warning sign that you're about to do something "wrong" and that it is therefore "safest for everyone" if you maintain a constant, low-key negative internal emotional state.

15) So the site that @elonmusk purchased so that it could become a global public square for civil debate has now become fertile ground for phishers, scammers and hackers, while the accounts of hate mongers have been restored, leading to a spike in decidedly uncivil debate.

@mkelliotmk Watched it last night and am now intensely craving baklava

Which I'm allergic to

It was a great episode - even the one who went home did well!

My toxic trait is telling people to take care of themselves while I'm running on 3 hours sleep, enough caffeine to kill a horse and an Oreo

Men have been calling women whores for dyeing their hair and wearing makeup since before 1583.

You would think by now that they've learned women don't care what their opinions are, and give it a rest!

One thing that never changes is the number of library meetings on change

[Ames E. G. @AimseyG]

Neurodivergence! Developmental disabilities! Physical disabilities! Mobility aids! BEES!

It's a lovely little virtual exhibit. Wish I could visit in person

[The Museum of English Rural Life @TheMERL]

This month, we opened a new display in our Community Case: Extra.Ordinary, which uses our collections to share the experiences of six people with disabilities in the countryside.

Visit our website to explore the display in our latest online exhibition!

Today's gender is vertigo.

It's #AceWeek. Is that why I have a strong urge to bake cake?

[Prof Sandy O'Sullivan @sandyosullivan]

Today marks the start of Ace Week #AceWeek - a time to remind that the 'A' in LGBTQIA+ stands for asexual/aromantic (Ace/Aro) - not 'ally'.

Also a great time to listen to the voices of those who are asexual, aromantic, demisexual, and/or grey-asexual.
