Just Listen — a student-led project raising awareness of stammering in schools, launching #ISAD2025!
Born from one student’s courage to speak up, it brings together Holderness Academy, Humber NHS & Siobhan Ward.
🗣️ “I felt heard & seen for my differences.” – Laila
We’re off! A joy to co-facilitate today’s @stammeringchildren.org mentor & mentee training sessions with Ria Bernard & introduce all the committed mentors to a fantastic group of young people who stammer. The openness, enthusiasm & level of engagement has been heartwarming #stammeringgain #ISAD2025
The first of four previews of book 3 of my webcomic, Coursing Constellations. This one shows Beatrice hugging The Pioneer tightly and lifting him up. She is looking up with a smile on her face while he crosses his arms, unamused by both the situation and her strength.
The second preview is an image of Tydus, a character not introduced in the comic yet. He is standing by a glass door, curiously looking out of the window as it thunders outside. The thunder is cyan coloured, the same colour as Beatrice's aptitude. In his hand he is holding a violin.
This third image is also of Tydus, this time tightly embracing a model clocktower and holding it to his cheek. He is very defensive of it, seeming panicked by something.
The final image is of Kring, looking to their side with a mischevious smile on their face. Their eyes are glowing orange, as is the Bowser Wii Remote Red is holding. It is smoking and the sudden change in temperature has caused Red to drop it. Kring is also holding a Wii Remote and Nunchuck, using their wrists to lift them up and down because they are playing the sprint minigame in a Mario and Sonic Olympics game.
As we reach the end of book 2 of #CouringConstellations, here are some out of context previews for the next one as a final treat for #ISAD2025
An illustration of Kring, who is sitting on top of Earth. They are learning back and speaking into a megaphone that reads "#ISAD2025", their face twisted in a way that indicates their mid-stutter. Regardless, there is a huge smile on their face. They are wearing a glittery, teal bodysuit and tights. Floating around their neck is a teal ribbon, similar to a hagoromo, shaped in the same way as the stammering awareness ribbon. The tips of the ribbon are long enough to reach the bottom of Earth and beyond. Kring has brown skin and their dark brown, curly hair is partially twisted on one side, flowing loose on the other. Within the twists is a star shape, and a single twist comes from it to rest on their chest. They are wearing a choker with a moon charm on it. Their open eye is glowing yellow, as are their stretch marks. The background is a starry sky, also teal to match the ribbon's colours. There are four constellations surrounding Kring and Earth, all matching colours of the four siblings in Coursing Constellations: orange, cyan, green, and pink. In the centre of the sky is a shining light, illuminating Kring's body from behind.
Their time to shine (both metaphorically and literally) #ISAD2025 #InternationalStammeringAwarenessDay #CoursingConstellations #OCSky #OC #Stammering #Stuttering
Happy International Stuttering Awareness Day!
Several super insights below from an ally of people who stutter at work.
#ISAD2025 #Stuttering #Stammeting #allies #OKToStutter
Awareness creates understanding; understanding builds advocacy; and advocacy opens the door to true inclusion, where people who stutter can bring our full selves and our full potential to work.

If you are a fellow stutterer, please be patient with yourself. I know how difficult that can be. You are loved and you are valid.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Try the veggies.

Another article I wrote quite a few years ago now that still resonates with me, exploring the parallels between embracing my stammer and gender #ISAD2025
www.redefiningstammering.co.uk/978-2/
Earlier in the year I decided to collate a thread I wrote about writing characters who #stammer into a nifty little guide. Others do exist and mine isn't law, but I wanted to make my own based on my own personal experiences.

Today is International Stammering Awareness Day #ISAD2025 so I'm resharing my repost of my blogpost about stammering and the academy - what the rest of you need to know.
Maybe would be a good time to… nudge nudge… read my webcomic… nudge nudge #ISAD2025 #Stammering #Stuttering #Stutter #Stammer bsky.app/profile/onom...

The song is about her personal stammering experience and how, on days where she struggles to get her words out, her love of music and singing helps her to express herself and connect with others.

A self portrait. I have pale skin and dark brown hair, with slightly red tips. I am holding my face and looking up as I stammer, a smile on my face. There are teal coloured roses covering my eyes, the colour of the stammering awareness ribbon. There are dark teal tears going down my cheeks. A fluffy boa covers my chest and part of my arms, my throat is left exposed but is glitching like I'm on a television screen. My nose is pierced twice, in my septum and to the side. Behind me is a night sky, also coloured in teal, with a constellation above my head. The constellation matches the elemental colours of the siblings in Coursing Constellations and Kring's, soon to be revealed in the story. The siblings have small stars: Cyan, Pink, Green, and Orange, while Kring is represented by a large, golden sun in the middle.
A new portrait in time for #ISAD2025! Posting it a little early because I really like what I did here
