This one makes me laugh every yearโ€ฆ because it is so very true.

For those of you who could not attend & asked, here is link to video of my virtual coffee chat with @DrNicky, author of NEUROQUEER HERESIES. A wide ranging conversation about everything from neurodiversity paradigm to queering literature, neurotypes, somatic healing and reading from new work. Enjoy! And please boost!

My friend the splendid @DrLindseyFitzharris has written a brave and smart piece about being a feminist & medical historian diagnosed with breast cancer at 40. She wants to spread the word to save lives so please RT and share wherever you are posting. https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-medical-historian-confronts-breast-cancer-11669917623?st=47w2guxbp6b1rtf&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

It's the tenth anniversary of the founding of the journal Aeon. As part of the celebration, I'm reposted this piece, which I was lucky enough to write for them:https://aeon.co/essays/what-does-it-mean-to-consider-yourself-a-disabled-person
What does it mean to consider yourself a disabled person? | Aeon Essays

With my pen hovering over a form, there is no easy answer: better to provoke stigma with support, or resist classification?

Nothing of my past stays vertical. My childhood neighbourhood - my old school - reduced to rubble and replaced with something else that faded faster. I've watched prefabricated estates rise and die in the time it took for puberty to scar my face and ruin my grades. The constant rubble-making has given my life the feel of the cartoon train escapee, hurriedly laying new tracks in front of a speeding train locomotive as the old tracks disintegrate. The forced smile of interesting times.
RIP Wilko Johnson. It's great that he got those extra years; sad that he's gone.
