October is Dwarfism Awareness Month http://dwarfismawareness.co.uk/
As an average-height person I know nothing about this so I'm really glad to get to learn about it in a presentation from Little People UK. https://littlepeopleuk.org/

Writing about Tod Browning which means writing about Tufei Filhela and Harry Earles et al. The term “little person” seems wrong to me; less(er) than (average sized) people is how it feels.
People shorter than average size, how do refer to yourself when it comes to stature?
Boosts appreciated!
@ascentale @inliuofjoan #BikeNite A5: The bicycle mechanic who did my Brompton's pedal-assist conversion is (also) a specialist in bicycles for persons with #dwarfism (e.g. #achondroplasia, #hypochondroplasia): https://junik-hpv.de/arbeitsbereiche/fahrraeder-fuer-kleinwuechsige-menschen/ (German page, but many pictures)
She uses quite some Brompton and Puky parts to build them, but I've also noticed a foldable fork with suspension on one of them which looks like being from a R+M Birdy. Also many high-end components from SON and Busch+Müller.
At 10am (Cologne time) the soccer stages of The World Dwarf Games 2023 begin and you can watch my friend and ex-#Opera
colleague play, representing #Norway
from 10:40am
The Norwegian team are part of an upcoming #NRK 6-part documentary series following the team and is due to air in 2024.

Watched the #DnD movie & loved it. I don’t mind that they stretched the wild shape rules or even brought Thay into FR, but why did they not cast little people in the roles of halflings and other small peoples? It would have saved them money on FX, would’ve looked better, and wouldn’t be ableist. #dwarfism

RT @k_langensiepen: #Sevilla still tolerates events that use persons with #dwarfism for “amusement”.
Together with @MyEDF we
@GreensEFA call Spain to prohibit these sort of events.

Introducing Patagopelta cristata https://paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2022/12/16/introducing-patagopelta-cristata/ by @Ferwen
Phylogenetic analysis recovered #Patagopelta within #Nodosaurinae, along with other mid-#Cretaceous nodosaurids from North America. These results support the proposal that South American #ankylosaurs may have migrated from North America during the Late Cretaceous. The small size of Patagopelta is linked to some event of #dwarfism as in the case of #Struthiosaurus from the #Haţeg Island.
Thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Steph, a creative practitioner with a rare form of #dwarfism called #RussellSilverSyndrome. Writing, blogging, podcasting, participatory work around the lived experiences of Dwarfism. Open to collaborations, writing opportunities, workshops and projects. Currently undertaking #DYCP from Arts Council. Looking forward to connecting with ppl on here. #FridayFollow
