Happy Day After The Day After Weird Pride Day, everyone!
This is a good video on what's wrong with the idea of 'normal' by @revolutionaryth0t.bsky.social, drawing on the work of @drrobertchapman.bsky.social.

Weird Pride Day made it into a TV news segment yesterday on @thatstvofficial.bsky.social, thanks to @auroraconsulting.bsky.social - as far as we know, the first time we've been mentioned on telly!

Guest blog on milestones that happened later in life, as well as "punk rock, Liverpool and trying to be normal" - the themes of my new book. www.advantagesofage.com/p/atypical-g...
I even wrote a piece of music for Weird Pride Day: www.reverbnation.com/simonjeremym...
For anyone who has struggled with where they belong, and whether you even want to belong. Brilliant discussion.
Happy Weird Pride Day!! In honor of the day, I will share 3 things that makes me weird:
1. I am a mermaid!
2. I hate chocolate.
3. I have so many made-up words, my dad thinks my mom and I speak another language.
What makes you weird/unique?

On this #weirdpride day I’d like to thank some of the people who helped me get through my childhood. Anne McCaffery, Madeline L’Engle,Terry Brooks JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Raymond E. Feist, Niel Hancock, & Piers Anthony.
These folks let Me escape. To Pern, Midkemia, Atlanton Earth & the rest.
The Weird Pride feed will go on picking stuff up automatically, tonight and for the foreseeable future!
But from us, good night.

Well, happy #WeirdPride night, folks! It's been a lot of fun, in the midst of a difficult time for much of the world.
The What's Happening page has been updated to What Happened, with links to various discussions and writing posted today. Doubtless some stuff got missed!

One of our speakers at Weird Pride Lightning Talks was a no-show, and the others kept to time really well, so we were left with a bit of time to fill.
I'd already read two poems, so I had a look around for another one, and found this, forgotten, on my drive.
On-topic.

It's my favorite holiday, WEIRD PRIDE DAY!
I'll be spending the day being weird (same thing I do every day, Pinky).
Here's a nice thread of Weird Pride events.
Or, you can celebrate Weird Pride Day by catching up on the Weird Luck webcomic!

Tickets are still available for the @stimpunks.org + @amase.org.uk Lightning Talks in 51 minutes, and there's actually still one slot available for someone to give a talk if you're very quick...

This video is now live, and you *almost* have time to watch the whole thing before Lightning Talks start!

Happy Weird Pride Day!
From someone who has been taking it as a compliment since 1970!

Those ones probably weren't ours originally, but we stand by them.
Society needs to get an *awful lot* better at recognising, understanding and adapting to neurodivergent people's needs (as with other more obvious disabilities of course)
Today is #WeirdPride day which calls for this, and an end to the stigma around neurodivergence
It’s a lot easier to relax into our intrinsic weirdness if we’re not employed in a typical large company. I’m retired, the career I was made for. Went to art college in my 40s, didn’t realise how weird I’d become until I struggled in employment afterwards.
On the event of Weird Pride Day... a modest proposal...

Happy Weird Pride Day to all who celebrate!
I'm really happy with how it's coming together so far. I hope we'll see a good few people posting bits of writing and videos and things today, too, besides the things I've directly organised myself (with help from many others)...
Lots more context and links to further reading from last year:

Happy Weird Pride Day, everyone!
Here's a bit of the context to all this:
bsky.app/profile/ferg...
A dark teal slide themed around Alice in Wonderland. In the centre-left, a large quote in a white speech box reads: “Do you suppose she’s a wildflower?” Beneath the quote is an illustration of a colourful mushroom surrounded by flowers. On the right side is a whimsical drawing of Alice floating horizontally inside a room filled with shelves, jars, and curiosities. At the bottom left stands the White Rabbit holding a pocket watch. The title “Alice in Wonderland” appears in large text across the bottom, with “Alice” in a script-style font and “in Wonderland” in bold yellow lettering. Decorative elements include a teapot and teacup set, and an “Autistic Realms – Neurodiversity Affirming” logo in the bottom right. Small text at the bottom credits Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and notes that images were created in Canva.
Happy @weirdpride.day 2026!
'Weird Pride is a celebration, but it is also, always, a protest: an act of resistance and solidarity, in a world where nonconformity is too often punished'. Even in hostile ground, wildflowers can find a way to bloom. Join our community events
