I did an interview on the Spoony podcast - Spoony is an app for disabled friendships. I’m an ambassador for @spoony.app. I did this interview when I was doing cancer treatment, and I talked about ichthyosis too. Enjoy. open.spotify.com/episode/5Bzr...

Most weeks I think about how cancer took my body autonomy away. I wrote this the night before I had my hysterectomy and cancer diagnosis. Reading it almost nine months on, my feelings are still the same. It’s complicated. carlyfindlay.com.au/2024/06/25/h...

I wanted to experience menopause in my own time, but I was thrust into it. Though I’m sure the hot flushes would have been as meh at 50 as they are at 43. I think now I’m reemerging into the world, I’m getting used to it all. It was too much to get used to after surgery and during treatment.

The only increase in employment of disabled people in decades happened between 2018 and 2022, when WFH became much more widely available. With more frequent data, the US recorded the same trend. This will mean lots of disabled people cannot work.

Here’s a little update on how I am doing, post chemo and radiotherapy, plus a request for work carlyfindlay.com.au/2025/01/18/p...

I wore this tonight and felt fucking fabulous!

I wrote this. Having cancer gave me so many gifts in 2024 (even though it was a very hard time) I promise it’s not toxic positivity. carlyfindlay.com.au/2024/12/31/h...

New post: the end of cancer treatment at the Peter Mac carlyfindlay.com.au/2024/12/14/h...

It’s my last day of radiotherapy tomorrow - ending five months of treatment for ovarian & endometrial cancer. I previously had chemotherapy, and a hysterectomy. My life turned upside down when I was told I might have cancer in May. But so many people have held me up - thankful💜

I wrote an update on my radiotherapy experience - particularly on its interaction with my ichthyosis. carlyfindlay.com.au/2024/12/11/r...

Thanks for the lovely birthday wishes everyone. I have had a huge weekend and a busy workload & medical schedule. I haven’t sat down to look at my social media yet - I will do soon. 🩵

When I was 15 I used the internet to research Savage Garden. The school librarian swayed me gently - suggesting I use the internet to find others w Ichthyosis - the rare severe skin condition I have. It changed my life. I don’t support a social media ban - I support a safer internet.

Blogged: Some thoughts ahead of Disability Day 2024 It’s eerily quiet. Businesses, brands, govt orgs - where are you? carlyfindlay.com.au/2024/11/26/s...

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

Just because I have cancer… please don’t diminish the severity of your medical condition or disability, and please don’t avoid telling me that you’re in good health. Me having cancer doesn’t take away from you having a difficult or wonderful time. I want to support and celebrate you. ❤️

ICYMI: I wrote about why feminist media (even when it breaks me) is so important to me, and why I cofounded @theflytrapmedia.bsky.social to bring feminist cultural criticism with a bite back to the internet.

Hello! I’m here. Lots has happened since I last BlueSkyed. I’m a Melbourne based writer, speaker & arts worker. I am a foodie, (still) baby rollerskater, reader, fashionista, Darren Hayes fan. I have Ichthyosis, & now cancer. The best thing about cancer is finding out I have a nicely shaped head.

@carlyfindlay.bsky.social I wrote about a friendship ending due to my access requests being ignored and me being deemed as un-fun. There are also some tips about how to be a good ally to your disabled friend. carlyfindlay.com.au/2023/08/28/a...

I sometimes get featured on disability service provider IG pages. I am not affiliated with these orgs. They aren't booking me to speak or consult, and I am not working with them as a support worker.
