Safe travels and take care!!! Grateful for you, your work, heartfelt conversations, and sharing snacks whilst sitting on the floor! (This is also a reminder to self that I still need to send you those photos from your panel, oops…)
Two tote bags lie on a carpeted floor: one lime green, and one black with a white strap and a smiley face print. Nearby are two open snack packs: Oishi Bread Pan and Kurkure Masala Munch. Also visible are a corner of a keyboard, a sheet of gold foil star stickers, and part of someone’s crossed leg and shoe as they sit on the floor.

Taking an extra day of exploring then back to Glasgow tmrw. Haven’t processed the past 3 days of Critical Neurodiversity Studies Conference yet, but as I said during closing remarks, feeling sooo nourished. 💗

Tysm @durhamimh.bsky.social!!!

Mural posing inspired by @ainokash.bsky.social and Haf 🌈🪽
A person with a purple fringe, black-framed glasses, and a yellow plaid cardigan playfully poses in front of a mural painted on a brick wall. Their eyes are partly closed, they are smiling with their mouth closed, and their hands are on their cheeks. The mural features geometric rainbow wings and white clouds on a blue sky. A wider angle of the same person playfully posing in front of the rainbow wings mural. They are wearing a cardigan, black crop top, and beige sling bag with a Scotland flag. They are spreading their arms as if flying and their mouth is open.

Reporting live from bed, eyes puffy and limbs achy. Sometimes it’s easier to tell people that I’m “not a morning person”, but that’s far from the truth. Most days the bodymind refuses to start up or demands I slow down.

This helps soothe the swelling. (The frustration? Not so much…)
A hand holds a stainless steel roller ball. Reflected in the shiny surface is a fish-eye view of a person lying in a hotel bed with white sheets, holding up a phone to take the photo. Natural light coming in through a window in the background. Part of a bedside table lamp and a white ceiling are also visible.

Some of my fave photos I managed to take on Critical Neurodiversity Studies Conference Day 1

🦔 This fun little stim toy that kind of matched the pom-poms on my scarf
🥳 Post-presentation performance party hat selfie
A left hand holds an orange hedgehog-textured fidget toy ball for stimming. Taken with a 0.5 wide-angle lens from above, the image also shows, from left to right, part of a lilac beaded scarf with fuzzy pom-poms, a beige bag strap and a rainbow beaded phone charm, and a laminate wood table. An ID badge on the table reads Jess O. (they/them). A selfie showing the top half of a face with a purple fringe, wearing a shiny green foil party hat. The photo is taken from below with a white ceiling, lights, and vents in the background. The person has a blank expression.

Packing for a 3-day conference can be tricky when more than half your suitcase is filled with ✨these✨ and “costume changes”… 🤡😂
In the foreground, a hand is holding a clear plastic container with ten compartments filled with googly eyes of various sizes. In the blurry background, scattered on the dark blue carpet floor, there’s a sequined pillow, a pack of gold foil star stickers, a white piece of cardboard, brown paper bags, and paint marker pens on top.
