Thanks to everyone who came, spoke, engaged with and communed at #MadCrip2025 today. It was made so comfortable, beautiful and interesting by you all. More info to come to you all next week but for now the @cripmadsymposium.bsky.social team needs to process and come down.

I made a new zine! It's full of advice on how allies can work alongside trans people to take action in the current moment, lovingly cut-and-pasted over the words of my enemies. Plus lots of nice pictures and memes. Available as a free PDF! Read online or print your own copy! Share with everyone!

Good morning! #MadCrip2025 symposium is off to a great start with @drrobertchapman.bsky.social’s opening keynote — I hadnt heard of the Ranters before this but I will definitely be going down a wikipedia rabbit hole afterwards

Had a wonderful 5 days in Helsinki at #NNDR2025 and the pre-conference course with fellow PhD students. Grateful for the chance to share some of my research, and excited to have met so many passionate disability researchers. Thanks to my supervisors and @scdtp.bsky.social for their support!

Arrived in Helsinki today ahead of #NNDR2025! Excited for a full week of conference activities, beginning tomorrow with Day 4 of the pre-conference PhD course 🤓

Had the privilege of meeting @hattdesigns.bsky.social, Jess, & Sarah from Uni Melb Neurodiversity Project (www.unimelb.edu.au/neurodiversity) on Friday. A wonderful valentine’s day spent hearing about the excellent work this team is doing, and getting to know one another over good food and coffee 🤓
