I did a 10 minute power speech on “Service Design for Success- Strategies and Best Practices for including LGBTIQA+ people with disability” at #ANDCONF2023 today in Sydney. Managed to pack a lot in & got told by a few folks it was a conference highlight which was an ego boost!
I am part of a mural and audio installation alongside some other amazing trans, gender diverse and non-binary folks! ❤️✊🏳️⚧️
Tickets are free events.humanitix.com/speak-u…

I am so saddened that the Harehole is closing its doors in the coming days! It’s been such a supportive, accessible and truly inclusive space for me over my last 10 years in Melbourne! 1/

I will miss the Harehole so much, but am forever thankful for the years of community building and safe harbour it has provided to so many marginalised folks. /7
It was at hares that my partner saw me doing raunchy poetry all those years ago and so when I slid into her dms on a dating app she already knew I was the kind of weird she wanted to pash. So many queer and trans pashes have happened in that space, performers found their spark 6/
so that I could play a part in holding/creating space for others. Quippings was birthed at the Harehole, by Kath and Greg. we did so many fabulous shows there over the years thanks to the unending support of Crusader & Roland, always lovers & supporters of disabled artists 4/
I still remember my 1st time on that iconic stage, surrounded by other queer/ trans disabled people speaking our hilarious, provocative truths and the feeling of coming home to myself I had that night, how it made me want to take over the reins from Kath and become producer 3/
The harehole been such a supportive, accessible and truly inclusive space for me over my last 10 years in Melbourne! When I 1st arrived in town it was the place where I first took to the stage and joined Quippings: Disability Unleashed. 2/
Poignant article exploring the history of disability eugenics and institutionalisation.

A really important research report into the Violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of LGBTQA+ people with disability in Australia. TW: Obviously, given the report title, and the fact that its for the Disability Royal Commission, some of it is triggering, so go lightly.

Happy International Day of people with disability or cripple Christmas (or cripmess)! A🧵
This day is meant to promote the rights of disabled people under the #CRPD which is a UN framework for upholding & protecting our human rights
Today for #IDPWD I am listening to 3CR’s International Day of people with disability broadcast, doing art with my kid and talking to her about disability culture and pride.
