This symposium and call for papers looks SO GOOD! Mental #disability and #technology in #literature and #art. Graphic has all the details (also in the alt text!) #CripCoop #MentalHealth #Spoonies
Looks worthwhile! #Disability #CripCoop
When the process of getting accommodations is more punishing than the stuff you're actually trying to accommodate #disabilitysky #cripcoop #actuallyautistic #nd
My hands tell me, "Stop!"
The pain demands time and rest.
I wish I could type...

Hibernation is going well, I've rested more, been more sustainably productive, felt less guilt/pressure & feel generally more comfortable. I've just opened my #discord to my friends & if it goes the way I hope, I'll quietly add the link to my bio in the near future 😂

Why do so many apps and browsers seem to think that zooming in and maybe closed captions are the only accessibility features one could want?? Very thankful Bluesky offers more. #disability #accessibility #cripcoop #disabilitysky
A few days into my #burnout hibernation, I finally realised I really do need a break & need to slow down overall. I've worked on Alagrestia pretty much every day for the past 5yrs, which has been fantastic in a lot of ways.🧵(1/4)

"The researchers demonstrated a correlation between implicit negative associations and lower endorsement of inclusive social policies, welfare provisions, and accessibility initiatives.... unconscious biases may undermine advocacy efforts and societal commitments to equality. " #Disability #CripCoop
I have two starter packs of chronically ill and disabled writers here bsky.app/starter-pack... and here bsky.app/starter-pack.... More on Ciadish.co.uk (book review/interviews/comps). The #CripCoop may be of interest (more info on CripCoop.com). Also sinsinvalid.org & disabilityvisibilityproject.com
"Written in Robin’s usual dryly humorous style, which softens the sometimes sad stories about his experiences and the way that #neurodivergent people are treated, the book is compassionate and educational, as well as being entertaining." ciadish.wordpress.com/2025/05/21/n... #CripCoop #ADHD
“It seems like this Labour government has launched an entire assault on #disabled people of all ages, including the PIP... cuts & removing universal credit from under-22s, including disabled young people unable to work. Do they want to support disabled people to thrive or not?” #Disability #CripCoop
One week left to get your entry in for the Bath Novel Award ciadish.wordpress.com/2025/05/23/c... #WritingCompetitions #CripCoop
"This year, we are focusing on the theme: Everyday Disability and Chronic Illness: Stories of Joy, Resistance, and Anti-Ableism" #CripCoop #DisabilitySky #WritingCompetition
Looks like a great (and needed!) book! Say happy birthday to Monica and buy her book! #CripCoop #BookSky #ChronicIllness #KidLit
If you haven't yet read this story, you're missing out on #joy - it made me laugh out loud twice and was indeed cathartic to read. I think it'd make a fab film too. #CripCoop #Disability #Inclusion
That may be *very* useful. @kristinwrites.bsky.social is arranging the Discord & I suspect will appreciate the offer. Welcome to #CripCoop. Anything you need right now, aside from writers to connect with? (I'm a writer too, so feel free to talk writing with me 😀) Ciadish.co.uk may be of interest too
Done - welcome to the pack go.bsky.app/CuhhS17%F0%9... Whereabouts are you based and I'll have a mull. There will be a #CripCoop Discord too - currently in progress but everything happens on CripTime for obvious reasons 😀 This may be of interest too ciadish.wordpress.com/2024/12/02/b....
Hey #CripCoop — just a quick reminder/request to please use alt text on images when you post and use the hashtag — let’s make this accessible to as many as possible
If you need help, just askz I’m happy to write it for you. Or use the #alt4me tag
(notag - so the feed doesn’t pick this up)
Hi! This was the initial impetus behind #CripCoop - I’d love to chat more about this, here or when the discord server opens (hopefully soon)

"Modelling suggests that a basic income could prevent or delay the development of anxiety & depression in young adults to such an extent that it could save £4.2 billion pounds over a 20 year period, not far off the £5 billion the government plans to cut" www.socialeurope.eu/the-false-ec... #CripCoop
"While writing Thunderhead, a children’s novel based on my experiences, I interviewed several people with profound hearing loss. I was stunned to discover they still play instruments and listen to #music, which seems silly to say now. Of course they do!" www.theguardian.com/music/2024/n... #CripCoop
