Only one week to go!

on Thursday 10th September, we're hosting a free evening for S*xual Health Week - exploring disability, dating and pleasure.

we're hosting a relaxed, low-pressure night for disabled and neurodivergent adults, partners, support networks and professionals all in the one room, with the same belief- that pleasure is a right!

made possible by SHINE SA's S*xual Health Week Community Grant, and hosted at Ambra in Thebarton- free, 18+, RSVP required.

rich in life because my softness is my strength (ty Electric Feel Co • Marketing for Baddies for saying this to me on the phone and unknowingly giving me a caption xx)

this work is not always easy, often it’s tricky. But in the face of the trickiness, I get to lean into my softness & remind myself of all the reasons it brings me joy.

Ty for letting me hold space on your feed 🤍🍓🧚🏼‍♂️

this one lives in my body a bit. so much of what we call social skills isn’t always actually a skill you either have or don’t, it can be a little bit like reps. thousands of tiny, forgettable, low stakes reps most people got by accident and never had to think twice about. if you didn’t get those reps because the room wasn’t accessible, or the noise was too much, or you were too busy masking to actually be present in the moment, that’s okay, you don’t just wake up one day fluent and that was never going to be about trying harder! also (and I say this as someone whose brain runs on its own timezone)- if you’re the person who’s a bit awkward, slow to warm up, doesn’t quite catch the unspoken rules of a room, that’s not a character flaw either. some of us are just still building the muscle everyone assumed we already had (or we don’t have it and that’s okay too!) late practice is still practice. we’re allowed to be figuring this out in real time, at any age, in front of people, clumsily

Everytime I put an event out into the world, my brain goes straight into overdrive. the RSD kicks in so fast- what if nobody comes? what if last time was a total fluke?
working in online spaces with a noisy neurodivergent brain is exhausting. but I’m learning that the exact same overthinking nervous system that freaks out is the same part of me that notices when someone in the room needs space, or a break, or just a friend to speak to in the moment. the anxious bits and the attuned bits are literally the same parts.
so i push through the doubt, bring my whole nervous system into the room anyway, and then you guys show up. and every single time, it turns into pure joy.
our next connect & reflect is on the 13th of august, 6pm at aberfoyle park community centre. we’re making lanyard and keychain charms together! general tickets are $55, and concession is $35 (student, low income, self-identify, no questions asked). come as you are, leave a little more connected than you walked in. link in bio to grab a spot x

explaining your body to a new partner can be a lot. Its a mental load many disabled folks carry that non-disabled folks might not consider- pain flares, sensory stuff, equipment, medication timing, energy that’s different every day - you name it. and somewhere along the way a lot of us learn to just not mention it, maybe because it is “easier” to seem low maintenance than to risk the awkward silence. But it’s not on you to carry that alone- it’s information someone actually needs if they want to be a good partner to you. swipe through for a few ways to make the explaining part feel less scary (although probably both terrifying and a relief, at the same time). some people share in layers, a bit at a time as trust builds. some people want it all out on the table early, and that’s just as valid. there’s no correct order, no right amount, no version you’re supposed to be doing this in.

perhaps this is part one bc I have SO much media I’d love you to consume about this topic!! Let me know if you want more 😼😼💗💗

Representation matters so stinkin heckin much!!
We can’t be what we can’t see, so this is to anyone in this space putting themselves out there for others- or for younger you. You’re amazing.

when I first started, I definitely didn’t have some polished, neat little master plan for my work. instead, a lot of these spaces and niches found me along the way and boy oh boy am I grateful for it.

I’ve always believed that education doesn’t have to be stiff or overly formal to be powerful. bringing music, crafts, and creative ways into how I translate knowledge has transformed how I show up in this work, engaging alongside people and their interests in ways that make the taboo feel easier.

la la la, I love it.

this is a big medical term for a very human reality that sometimes, there is a total disconnect between what your body does and what you actually want, feel, choose, or consent to. Our bodies are complex & finely-tuned systems wired to respond automatically to physical touch, pressure, stress, fear, novelty, or sudden changes in hormones. This is a purely physiological reflex & is not always a reflection of your desires.
You are allowed to trust your own lived experience, memories & feelings - over a bodily reflex.

a little update for you while I’m on the other side of the world! there’s lots coming up for when I get back that I’m excited for and excited to share with you. And you are welcome to explore what feels good or interesting to you.

The events bring me so much joy, the professional mentoring gives such connection & direction, our snail mail club invites you to slow down, and the resource is something I built to invite conversations about s:)x and relationships with clients in a low(er) demand kind of way.

Thank you all for being here!!! I’ll be back with an educational post soon & maybe some trip updates 💌💌💌
