Anyone interested in late diagnosed autistic women should listen to the Square peg podcast @BBCWomansHour

[MaDCaff @theMaDCaff]

In case you’re wondering who is playing, well, we’re not telling you, even though it’s really hard when we have the caliber of performers that are playing today. Seriously, it’s going to be good, don’t miss it. https://t.co/n7dZUkUWK0

[MaDCaff @theMaDCaff]

Quite right. All you need for today is a steady supply of cake and coffee and bring your family, pets or teddies 🧸 to keep you company. It’s our first event on Zoom. https://t.co/n7dZUkUWK0

[Disability Arts Cymru @DACymru]

What are you doing at 4pm today? Nothing? Wrong answer. Get yourself along to MaDCaff & enjoy and a relaxed 2 hours of amazing performances. You can register at any time, Zoom sends you an email which you must watch out for because Spam loves those emails.

I’ve just seen the running order for tomorrow’s MaDCaff & it’s seriously amazing, & I can’t possibly tell you because that’s not how we do it. It’s a very informal event but also very accessible. It’s free to register, just go & do it now or you’ll be sad https://t.co/cz1wBAUxm8

[MaDCaff @theMaDCaff]

We do have a few performers lined up, we've also left some open mic spots. If you might like a slot contact us with the lyrics, really important as we have captioners & BSLIs. It doesn't mean you have to participate, but you'll get first spots if you do. Email: [email protected]

[MaDCaff @theMaDCaff]

Hello MaDCaffers, it's been a while, but now even MaDCaff has taken to Zoom. Please join us for the best of the West and the Rest on 12/12/2020. It's free, it's accessible, it's online, so there's no excuse for not joining us on Saturday afternoon. Book: https://t.co/n7dZUkUWK0

[Disability Arts Cymru @DACymru]

Our final event on 30/07 at 4-6pm, a panel discussion, @smckeownartist returns along with @nicolatriscott and ??? to wrap up the event. We want to be clear about the opportunities and challenges for disabled artists since lockdown, https://t.co/yXO4VQEjap #EndAbleism #CripTheTech

[Disability Arts Cymru @DACymru]

Talking of opportunities and challenges, what do we, as disabled artists want to keep and what do we still need to resolve during/post lockdown? That's the discussion on Thursday with @SMckoewnartist and @nicolatriscott. Book: https://t.co/yXO4VQEjap #EndAbleism #CripTheTech

[Elin Jones @ElinCeredigion]

For my wellbeing as @ElinCeredigion I’ve just blocked Neil Mcevoy.
I’ve had enough of his constant criticism of me.
As @yllywydd I won’t block any MS.
But in Ceredigion and in @Plaid_Cymru I choose not to hear him. More important things to see and do.
Let’s get it done.
Blocked!

"Home is where the art is, all of us as well, stay home, stay safe, make art" it's my attempt at Haiku, and I know it's not 'proper' but let's relax the rules for a while #DACindoors #poetry #homeiswheretheartis #approximatehaiku

[MaDCaff @theMaDCaff]

And @MHChat please share this, exposure is the only way the ATUs will be closed. Thought it was all over after Winterbourne View, nope, there's many more still doing it. https://t.co/Lvt3p5aGsP

[MaDCaff @theMaDCaff]

Just found @MHChat and wondering if @crisishouses is in here as a quick scan tells me that the space between hospital and home can feel live a void, something the Crisis Houses can address, to an extent. But they can’t be run by profit making entities, hence problem with the ATCs

[MaDCaff @theMaDCaff]

We may have ideas

[Disability Arts Cymru @DACymru]

This year we have DAC staff working hard in Cardiff and others regions of Wales. Next year, with @ruffyarts on board, who knows?
