Microsoft Teams Speaker Coach. I noticed this in my Teams today. Gives you feedback on “filler words” and “repetitive language” in your speech in meetings. Does it have a “stutter mode”? techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-t… @IrishStammering @stammer @Patrick1992C

@ISADonlineconf @redefinestammer I love the idea of desensitising other people to stammering. The problem is not with me, it’s with you!

By exposing stuttering to everyday listeners, we are helping to desensitize them to stuttering, changing their perspective of what stuttering is. It CAN be something that “just is.”, says Allison Ladavat. isad.live/.../stuttering… #ISAD2022 #stuttering #beingseenbeingheard #PWS

@stuttermore “McDonnell-Horita said that her disability identity isn't something she has had to overcome. Instead, she has had to overcome the …systemic ableism that keeps disabled people out of certain spaces”. npr.org/2022/08/08/111…

“What if dysfluency was called parafluency, a parallel flow, an alternate flow, a flow that ends up going in a different direction, to another country, only accessibly via babbling brook?”

@Patrick1992C Relief

👋 a few of us are working on a stammering pride related project. We'd like to create a word cloud related to stammering pride. Would be grateful if people could comment below single words they associate with stammering pride to make it. 1 each please. Repetitions welcome 🙏

This is what I sound like. 
This is what I sound like.” Erin Schick - Honest Speech- 2019 voicemailpoems.org/2019/08/22/hon…

“This acceptance can also engender feelings of authenticity and the understanding that disability can be a source of self-actualisation.”

Check out this poem, Honest Speech by Erin Schick. Another reminder of how stuttering is simply just another way of talking! youtube.com/watch?v=j8XOyY… youtube.com/watch?v=j8XOyY…

@davidbowie_news 😔

@70s_Dub The single had dropped out of the top 40 so they didn’t broadcast it.

@conor_foran Totally get it Conor. I know what I think about it and some day I’ll have the time to articulate it 😀

@70s_Dub Thanks Mark. I'm finding it hard to articulate why media appearances such as that one irk me so much. They are helpful in some ways but not in other ways.

It's great to have visibility on such a big morning show, but when are we going to stop talking about struggle, overcoming, masking, etc.? Why are we still pandering to 'ideal' or 'acceptable' levels of fluency?

@Patrick1992C We’d a good online session on stammering pride here last week Patrick. And look who featured 👀

Anyone else feel the stammering scene is quiet at the moment (particularly in person)? Quite low attendance at recent local groups I've been too and seems people aren't as keen to attend online events. Hoping the big conference, STAMMA Liverpool, changes that vibe!

@stutterverse I just realised. Stutter. Verse. Was that planned or was it happy accident?

Got inspired by a new member at our peer support meeting this evening. For his first meeting he spoke the truth and allowed himself to be vulnerable. #peersupport #stutteringcreativity

Hi @SaraMohrPietsch I really enjoyed your Around Midnight Night Tracks on BBC3 last night. I appreciated what you said about coming back to the breath and meditation. Thanks.
