Happy New Year! Wishing everyone all the best for 2024. After a hiatus from this account (busy time writing, editing, public speaking, spending time with loved ones & making glass panels then taking a break over the holidays), I hope to be a bit more present on here this year.

Museum Association Neurodivergent Folk Meet-up: This will take place during the 3:15 break at Balcony 2 tomorrow. Please share with anyone at #Museums2023@museumsassociation.bsky.social

Great, it's a really good conference! If you see me then please do say hello! 😁

Today's Monday Joy's ✨️ - spending a weekend with friends from my masters, enjoying some of our long-term favourite group activities together. - finishing session 2 of an ethnography course, getting positive feedback on my methodology - travelling to the Museum Association conference! 😁

I will say that, to date, I haven't had any Reviewer 2 experiences personally (which I am very, very relieved about). The costume got a mix of laughs and "that is the scariest costume I have seen", so my mission was accomplished. I wish everyone good, constructive feedback. #Don'tBeAReviewer2

This Halloween I was invited to a movie night with mostly researchers. When I thought about costumes, there was only one that came to mind... the infamous Reviewer 2! Using what I already had (and a Google for some real life examples of feedback) I put together my spookiest costume yet.

Thanks Adam! It should be a nice meet-up 🙂

#museum people attending the Museums Association Conference next week: I am organising a neurodivergent meet-up at the conference for anyone wanting to meet fellow ND folk (& allies), have a chat or a break from conference busyness. I'll share more about when/where closer to the time.

Today's Monday Joy's ✨️ - attended a great ethnography lecture - confidently parked in a space I would have avoided in the past - had a hugely motivating & productive meeting - batch-made a homemade meal for this week - nearly finished my latest stained glass piece - spending time relaxing 😊

I was over the moon to find it, a lovely way to remember the trip too 😊
