The contemporary classroom is a bastion of neuronormativity. We neuroqueer to fight for the right to learn differently.

Behaviorism denies flexibility and choice and is the antithesis of Neuroqueer Learning Spaces (NQLS).

Thinking about how disabled, neuroqueer, and trans folks could probably join forces to invent a better version of the cyberpunk genre from first principles.

Book 24 was Neuroqueer Heresies by Nick Walker (narrated by Janet Metzger).

Favourite quote:
“Neuroqueer is active subversion of both neuronormativity and heteronormativity. Neuroqueer is intentional noncompliance with the demands of normative performance.”

Worf (but really, being neuroqueer in the South)
Porting over another thread:

Thinking a lot about Worf.

About how, though he's the only lens we get on what Klingon culture is "supposed" to look like, somehow, we never meet other Klingons who live up to his expectations, much less to his example.

Because he's a true believer. He bought in.

Alt: Worf, sitting on a coach, holding a cup of tea. "Good tea." Pause. "Nice House."

Hearing "neuroqueer" for the first time in @drrobertchapman.bsky.social's Empire of Normality - referencing Neuroqueer Heresies - was a genuinely revelatory moment for me

Everyone - certainly every autistic person - should read them both

was thinking about neuroqueer, and neuroqueering, and why I wasn’t using the term for myself yet. And so, using it now. Because of course.

"The two paradigms—the pathology paradigm and the neurodiversity paradigm—are as fundamentally incompatible as, say, homophobia and the gay rights movement, or misogyny and feminism."

Autonomous Press changed their shipping system and now my book Neuroqueer Heresies ships from my hometown, which means that now when people order their copies direct from the publisher I can autograph them.
