Rosemary Richings @rosemaryrichings.bsky.social · Nov 18
With all the people migrating from X to Bluesky now (I got 30 notifications of people following me today that I recognise from Twitter), now is a good time for a reintroduction.
Rosemary Richings has short blonde-ish red hair in a short bob cut. She has black sunglasses on her head. She is very freckly and has blue eyes that are almost grey-like in tone. She is looking to the side of her. She has triangle-shaped metal earrings on, a black scarf loosely tied on her neck and a grey sweater knitted and covering the top of her body. She is in front of an intricately carved star-shaped wood wall.

Some of you may know that #Disability activist, Alice Wong, just passed away. To honour her work, @jandelliott.bsky.social and I collaborated on a video reflecting on what her work has meant to us.

This turned out to be one of the most popular videos I have made for YouTube so far. I guess what I'm hearing is...you guys want more #Neurodivergent and #ChronicIllness lifestyle content.

In case anyone has been following my videos, I need a break from posting this week, because of some challenges I had with my chronic illness issues this week, which meant rest came first. I will be back to my same posting pattern for videos in two weeks.

Found a quote from my first book in a thesis on #Accessible architecture, and I am honestly quite happy to see it used in this context, mainly because the point is to teach people about sensory processing differences and #Neurodivergence.
When my sensory processing issues happen, functions like sleep, focus and ability to react to the limitations of my environment are disrupted or non-existent. Retreating to a quiet environment for a while, dimming the lights, and resting make a huge difference.” Stumbling through Space and Time: Living life with dyspraxia. Rosemary Richings. 2022.

It feels very fitting to be winding down the busyness I had early in the week of #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek, with news that my editor wants me to review my manuscript one last time before it's sent to the production stage (copyediting, proofreading, then design and layout, followed by actual printing).

It's day one of #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek. See all who plan to attend my virtual event I'm doing for Awareness Week later today. Wore my Celebrate #Neurodiversity shirt to mark the occasion.

Still time to register for the event itself if you want to attend: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dyspraxia-...

I did a vlog on how my feelings and experiences with public speaking have changed over time as a #Dyspraxic #Neurodivergent person & where I think a lot of my #Disability community's anxieties about public speaking are coming from. Just released it today. youtu.be/laPtKDErlpo?...

As a long-time player of #TheSims4, I am doubtful the #EA buyout will significantly alter the gaming experience. I mean...they're already overcharging for kits & expansion packs & the game is still super buggy at times. But I definitely understand the moral objection to who's buying it out.
