We left! See you somewhere over the rainbow (where my name's the same). Or on LinkedIn, if you must.

Meanwhile, still need contribs to our 'MedHums 101' and 'In Practice' projects:

Love this. I still mask in public and it is def stigmatised. Most disabled people I know do not mask and most do not accommodate my masking. I am routinely excluded from social events because I think people find even being out with a masked person embarrassing/ difficult.

Recently saw and forgot to note a Judith Butler quote about misconceptions re gender performativity. Something about there being no pre-gendered subject; it not being the case that people get up in the am and decide what gender to perform. Can anyone point me to that quote? TIA!

Fascinating to hear about Olivia Dahl’s work with Caspar Eric (poet with CP) - ‘School for Crip Poetry’ - creative spaces for disabled people to reflect on disability through collective poetry. Establishing shared history; collective energy inherent in writing together #CDS24

tell me why I teared up twice during
@anna_stenning's book launch, once while sarah lucas spoke, and again when @DrJamesMcGrath read out his poem.

enjoyed this, 'In Praise of Bad Writing' by @JuliaBell, rang true to a lot of my experience of creative writing classes / workshops

What a brilliant methodology piece. When I read articles like this it gives me faith there's a space for me (always working in crip time) in this field. Also made me think in new ways about my relationship with obstructive sleep apnoea and my CPAP machine...

@riacheyne @CineFeline Definitely, thanks!
