I am beyond angry about the abuse hurled at Jason Arday. The violence of UK media and Universities is beyond disgusting. Nathan Cofnas has a lot to answer for. Him and his "race realism" has killed a man.

I was not ready for the #wildfire alarm through my phone. Both our phones went off and our neurodivergent house hold went a bit scream-y for a second. #Alarm #GovernmentAlert #UKWildfires

When I started blogging it was a huge part of trying to understand my diagnosis. Now I focus on my research, PhD and otherwise. Writing allows me to make sense of where I'm at and where I go/grow from here. autisticltd.co.uk/blog/ 🎓🌈 #autresearch

Getting back to it at University of Portsmouth Doctoral College thesis cafe. I've got some biscuits and a peppermint tea in a cockerel mug. Ideal. The co-coding and theming has gone so well, it's making the shared stories of these interviews very clear. autisticltd.co.uk/2026/08/02/t...

A stylised picture of my laptop open to it's home page. A lovely cartoon created by Actually Owltistic of me underneath a tree of knowledge in my research landscape.

It was so nice to go into the University today and have a dedicated (very quiet!) space to work on our journal resubmission. I got the resubmission finished and got some reading done too 🙌

Black text at the centre reads: how do stereotypes, social norms, medical knowledge and the construction of social, technological, and research environments impact peoples affective experiences, sense of self, and authenticity? When are these impacts unjust?

Quadruple-parked today. Stay hydrated folx! [Katie's desk with a can of energy drink, a cold coffee, a half drunk bottle of apple squash and a half drunk bottle of water]

Happy Autistic Pride day everyone! What are you feeling proud of today? I am proud of my growth over the last five years. How I have come to understand myself and where I fit into the world. How I want to fit into the world. Reconnecting to myself and what I want from life.

Another zine for you all - based on the works of Judith Butler. 🌈🎓

Katie Munday@kmunday· May 29

You've got this. Whether a PhD student, college student, school student or other. 💪

A cute frog character holds up a brown sign. Black text reads:

Never forget that as absolutely hard as PhD life can be, as late nights pile up and doubts creep in, you are doing something incredibly meaningful. Progress may be slow, but every step forward is a step toward a future you're building. You are capable, you are resilient, and your work matters. It's a privilege to be part of discovery. You've got this.

- Just froget about it

I had lots of fun making this "What a Bunch of Cock" zine. There is a need to support adults with learning disabilities in social care to engage in safe, consensual and joyful sex. So many adults with LD are treated like children and sex is only ever seen as "risky" @georgiarivers.bsky.social

The "to do" list this month: Find your people and keep them close - no matter how far between you. Instead of trying to force connections closer to me geographically, I commit to those greater connections elsewhere. Colleagues up north, over the pond, down under and all the places in between.

Pink handwriting on a white year planner. On the paper are black lines and a title of "To do". My pink handwriting reads: Find your people and keep them close - no matter how far between you.

A lovely day spent with other PhD researchers at the @scdtp.bsky.social Queer Methodologies workshop. I have thoroughly enjoyed this thought-provoking day and look forward to asking more difficult questions tomorrow, laughing and enjoying the company and knowledge of others. Blog to follow...
