Nice one Sam would love to see it

Gorgeous office!

Neurodivergent people have a different way of thinking. Different is good. Diversity is good. It’s why life evolved in webs of diversity. The current regime wants to stamp that out and make copies of themselves in some sort of clonic inbred way that would have spelled extinction for most species.

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why strongmen rely on women at home Fascist regimes pushed narratives of domestic bliss, yet relied on women’s unpaid labor. In the US today, ‘womanosphere’ influencers promote the same fantasies

“There’s been a reluctance to name this moment as fascism,” says cultural historian Tiffany Florvil, yet extreme authoritarian dynamics can be clearly seen in the American right today.”

Also in this sharp take on the reliance on women to prop up fascisms old and new: German historian Claudia Koonz.

The new must-have in critical neurodiversity studies!

Sounds amazing!

Oh no! I hadn’t heard of this one. These really are momentous changes

Oh Heike, I’m so very sorry. Thank you for sharing this. You certainly have her eyes.

Wonderful closing remarks!

@riacheyne.bsky.social but how did you know?! So lovely to meet you

Day 3 of the Critical Neurodiversity Studies conference at @durhamimh.bsky.social is underway! We’ve got a call for papers (+ more) open at the moment for a special issue on critical ND studies, why not check it out? 👏 💫

@ainokash.bsky.social @louisecreechan.bsky.social @ndhumanities.bsky.social

Oh that really is sad…

And wonderfully provocative Roundtable powerfully interrogating what it means to do critical neurodiversity studies from a truly intersectional standpoint, and the limits of institutional-based knowledges. Learnt a lot.

Brilliant keynotes by @remiyergeau.bsky.social and @ainokash.bsky.social on day 2 of the critical ND studies conference have my head spinning about the many potentialities of neurotrans theories and kitchen appliances and of madness as a form of incisive clairvoyance in times of political attack

Trans* Geschichten der Moderne Auseinandersetzungen in Wissenschaft, Öffentlichkeit und Medien: warum Trans* Geschichte und Kolonialgeschichte nicht isoliert voneinander betrachtet werden können.

Feels a bit surreal but Trans* Geschichten der Moderne is now available for preorders and available open access after June 30: www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-7...

Fantastic session on neuroqueer aesthetics with an intersectional German Studies slant featuring Catherine Smale, Denise Henschel and Liselotte Van der Gucht on day one of the Critical Neurodiversity Studies conf #cnds25 @durhamimh.bsky.social

Jeanette Winterson’s reflections post Sydney writers’ festival, on AI, lies, and the state of things.
“I am a fiction writer, so it makes me mad when people call lies ‘fiction’. Fiction is what gets us closer to the truth, not running in the opposite direction.”

Excellent critique by @ainokash.bsky.social „The Cass Review, in much the same way as ongoing transphobic trends in current political and cultural discourse, insidiously mobilises neurodivergence with dehumanising and agential consequences for disabled and trans people.“
