Happy IDPwD to you all. Particularly to all with "invisible" and "not disabled enough" disabilities. This is the first year I've fully and openly accepted being disabled (yay long covid :-) ). But this new increase in disability has also highlighted those I've long had but didn't feel were enough.

Went to see this fabulous concert last week www.mso.com.au/performance/...
Highlights:
- James Mac Millan's concerto for orchestra, a truly astounding piece of music. If you get a chance, go and see it!
- Auslan choir performing Ode to Joy. They were so joyous and just fabulous.

Ooh this looks really good and directly relevant for a paper I'm working on now. So jumped to the top of the read list. Yay! Squirrels off to read now....
Finally our editorial for the "What makes a good theory?" special issue is out (co-edited with @irisvanrooij.bsky.social, @jcskewes.bsky.social, Sashank Varma, and Todd Wareham). It's an interdisciplinary issue and the contents are transdisciplinary.
