When you stammer with someone At Stammering Pride, dysfluency creates connection

After 9+ years of making disability media, I've finally started a newsletter on #Substack! Body Babble is the newsletter where crip, queer & misfit bodies talk back.

My first essay, "When you stammer with someone", is about #Stammering #Pride.

Thank you so much for reading, and for the kind words! Really happy to hear that you enjoyed it. I learnt a lot from the stammering community πŸ’™

Going off script Moving through shame to find pride in disabled and queer identity

A piece gorgeously illustrated by @sonaksha.bsky.social, who reinterprets Matisse and does so complete with Chappell Roan and Charli XCX lyrics.

Thanks to Sonaksha and Celestine for helping us find these new scripts.

Going off script Moving through shame to find pride in disabled and queer identity

In this week's Debrief, @celestinefraser.bsky.social looks at the many (often unexamined) intersections between disabled and LGBT communities.

She does it with a beautiful evocation of her own story moving through shame, and onto the queer dance-floor.
