Had morning coffee at Curio and now time for #ffconf!
Cinema screen with plush red chairs and people sitting down with some standing up. On the screen is "Welcome. Grab a seat." And a live feed of Bluesky posts.

A friend recently gave birth so we bought them a lot of books, including "My First Signs" by Annie Kubler.
My First Signs book, front cover has four babies demonstrating signs for milk by holding a thumbs up and turning their hand, sleep by cupping their hands together and lying their head on it, cat by drawing whiskers, and car with a motion to turn the steering wheel.

I think photos can speak more than words here, but it was nice to be able to touch and flick through the physical zines as well as being able to go through them digitally.
Zine called Your Life is Not Over: A Book Of Apocalypses And How To Survive Them (A guide for newly sick and disabled people) by Fiona Robertson, with a dark starry sky background with four icons of a meteor, tsunami, fire, and iceberg. Underneath is the description of the zine with the title and author, also year of publication: 2022 in Scotland. A5 colour zine. To the left of this sign is a blue sign with a black circle with the words Crip Doulas. Blue sign with a black circle and the words Crip Doulas. Disability Justice activist Stacey Park Milbern coined the term 'crip doulaing' to describe the ways that disabled people offer support to others through the experience of becoming or being disabled. This draws on ideas of a 'doula' as a non-medical guide offering practical and emotional support through major life changes such as pregnancy, childbirth or end of life care. The term 'crip' is used by some disabled people to describe themselves. Reclaimed from a historic and derogatory term used to describe disabled people, 'crip' can be used to identify disability as a political position and a site of community - expressing pride and resistance against ableism and intersecting systems of oppression. Some of the practices of crip doulaing are visible in these zines: in the direct advice and resources Fiona Robertson offers, or how the contributions to Disgender evoke the entwined feelings of being trans and disabled. Open zine spread, on the left page is a home draw like a bed quilt with flowers, mermaids and a starry sky. On the right is a poem. I can always rely on my bed It comforts me It holds me tight It hugs me Cradles me It travels with me to new lands It keeps me warm When I've had a bad day When the rain won't go away I can always rely on my bed. By S. Olivia Pink sign with the title: The work of being disabled: access and care. Beneath is more text. Being disabled is hard work. These zines reveal the physical, psychological and emotional effort involved in daily life, often alongside health conditions that may change or worsen over time. These challenges are deeply entwined with systemic and social barriers to accessing support and services, as well as hostile depictions of disabled people in the media. The zine makers featured here invite us to broaden our understanding of work to include the giving and receiving of care between disabled people and their communities, grounded in the right to support. Zines can be central to building networks, used to share practical information, or act as catalysts for resistance, political activism and mutual aid. Makers also explore how zines can provide 'access' as 'a collective joy and offering we can give to each other', in the words of Disability Justice activist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha.

Was in the area and stopped by the Wellcome Collection for the exhibitions: Zines Forever! DIY Publications and Disability Justice, and 1880 THAT by Christine Sun Kim and Thomas Mader.
Large panel that looks like a brick with the words "1880 THAT" in large text, with additional info (by Christine Sun Kim and Thomas Mader, 17 April to 16 November 2025). In the background is a smaller sign for Zones Forever! DIY Publishing and Disability Justice, with another pink sign with text on it that's hard to read

A day late but discovered FigPals on Figma, this is making my work day better.
Three panels in a comic strip. Panel one: Cloud with a smiley face and halo. Panel two: Close up of cloud. Panel three: Cloud looks like it's zooming around next to a mouse cursor. At the bottom of the comic strip is the Figma logo, "FigPal" and the year 2025.
