Another in my series of song lyrics that accidentally capture some of the experience of stammering- credits at the top. #art #stammeringpride @stutterverse @conor_foran @Patrick1992C

Hi @SaraMohrPietsch I really enjoyed your Around Midnight Night Tracks on BBC3 last night. I appreciated what you said about coming back to the breath and meditation. Thanks.
“Stuttering openly can be an act of civil disobedience” - Chris Constantino. Stammering is political. @stutterverse
A friend shared this with me tonight and oh my goodness how much it resonates. ‘Resilience’ is not to be celebrated when it comes at personal cost. Why not change the environments that require personal resilience?

@stutterverse do you ever come across song lyrics that are not about stammering but are SO about stammering?🤓 I’m a mad Bowie fan but had never listened to the early stuff until Toy came out. Lyric on “Conversation Piece” goes: (1/2) …

(2/2) … “But for all my years of reading conversation, I stand without a word to say / And my hands shake, my head hurts, My voice sticks inside my throat, I'm invisible and dumb, And no-one will recall me”. Bowie forever ♾

@redefinestammer @Patrick1992C Reading “Stutter Naked” from P&P. Thinking about Mindfulness and stammering. Remembered this quote from Pema Chodron “Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. Nothing ever really attacks us except our own confusion”…..

“It just keeps returning with new names, forms, manifestations until we learn whatever it has to teach us about where we are separating ourselves from reality, how we are pulling back instead of opening up,…”

“…closing down instead of allowing ourselves to experience fully whatever we encounter, without hesitating or retreating into ourselves.” I’m not referring to stammering going away, but perhaps the struggle with stammering. #StammeringGain

Hi @Patrick1992C Did I remember you had an alternative definition of stammering recently?

Thanks ⁦@TwoCooksSallins⁩ for the sourdough kit. That’s me sorted for the summer.

Hey @rickoshea I’d never heard the Art Garfunkel version of “waters of March” but I knew a french version by Stacey Kent which is really good. It’s actually a Brazilian song.

In both my work and college people are giving end of year presentations. I’m noticing a trend of “lightning talks” or timed talks where you’ve got 5 minutes to give your presentation and even “30 second warnings”. #FluentPrivilege

From #StammeringPride&Prejudice I now recognise this as unconsciously ableist and potentially exclusionary for all people whose speech that doesn’t suit. So I’m gonna call it out - in the nicest possible way of course. 🙏 @Patrick1992C @redefinestammer

Quick follow up- reached out to my course director and they’re really happy to accommodate me however I want. Most importantly they will take it on board in future for others too! #StammeringGain

Making my way through this. Sucks that I wasn’t there. So good to see people stammering. What a time to be alive. @Patrick1992C @NoraTB2 Challenging Stuttering Stereotypes youtu.be/OqcWu2CxvxM via @YouTube
