"As a poet, Cy knows words matter. “I feel like medical language isn’t great for me as a #disabled person. Who are the words serving… If they’re not serving me, why am I using them?” And so Borg.Diem was born – & with it, the kernel of a new #language" Read about the #BorgDiem Dictionary on Ciadish
"The Borg.Diem dictionary shows the power of words, helping people define their worlds rather than have labels imposed on them. It was first made available in #Braille"

Another familiar feeling (I suspect to many of us, sadly). Great #BorgDiem #Dictionary entry from Mik Scarlet

I love this #BorgDiem word from @jesshealywalton.bsky.social Are you a biblioquip? If so, you may well enjoy Ciadish.co.uk and this starter pack (& there should *so* be a biblioquip #book group)

Another one of the words I contributed to #BorgDiem #dictionary - & one I use often. Expecting everyone to naturally wake & sleep at the same time makes no sense, particularly when people can work remotely and internationally. Flexitime - real flexitime - would help hugely with #inclusivity

Today I'm in high pain and having a slow, much paced day. Thanks to @jesshealywalton.bsky.social for this wonderful #BorgDiem word. I'm tempted to use it in a poem..

yo-yo-living, v. as I'm up & down like a yoyo (& body sometimes does unusual tricks) and maybe pain-juggling for the trade-off between pain and living any sort of fun life (fun and play are political and educational, not frivolity. Disabled joy matters). #BorgDiem
