Since I've been here for a while… here are some useful features on Bluesky that you might not have discovered yet! 🧵

Images of the Queen Square Motor Speech SLT team

Motor speech subtypes as defined by Darley, Aronson & Brown (1969)

Salient features of hypokinetic dysarthria & patient descriptions of their own speech symptoms

“The effects of neurological disease on speech are usually lawful, predictable and clinically recognisable” [Professor Joseph Duffy]

That’s a wrap for #QueenSquareSpeechies motor speech series #2024 🤩

Watch The Remarkable Life of Ibelin | Netflix Official Site The secret life of a young World of Warcraft gamer is vividly reimagined when his online friends contact his family after his death.

I can't recommend this doc about a young man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and his vast online life enough.

It also emphasises how important the amazing work of charities like @specialeffect.bsky.social can be in augmenting people's social lives — it's not "just" playing video games!

Dysphagia in Movement Disorders

Dysphagia in Neuromuscular Diseases

Dysphagia in Rare Conditions

The clinical dysphagia series by plural publishing are also excellent… three of my absolute faves linked with progressive disease photographed below @sophiemack11.bsky.social 😃 www.pluralpublishing.com/publications...

Yes I did spot some of the #ultrasound crew 😍 Maybe we should drum up some #bluesky trade in the New Year? It feels so sad to leave all our old posts behind - they act as a great reminder of all our adventures 🌎

Wow, there are lots of #speechies here already… so pleased I popped over to take a peek 🤩 Thank you @kimt-slt.bsky.social for setting up an #international #SLT starter pack 😃
