Written by two neurodivergent resratchers, this letter was just published in the peer reviewed journal, “Women’s Health.” It speaks to the gaps in research on Autistic Menopause and offers direction (in the form of seven priorities) as to what questions researchers should focus on moving forward.

This is the government of Canada’s scientific finding. It is true. It is also a terrible message. Here’s what’s also true: 🧵 www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

Changes to Canada's climate now 'irreversible,' federal report says
The impacts of climate change in Canada are now largely irreversible and average temperatures are expected to rise by at least 3.5 C by the end of the century, a new government report warns.

1/ Trump is fuelling a new McCarthyism that is both delusional and dangerous. It’s clearly intended to crack down on Americans who are resisting his anti-democratic agenda. It’s also a serious escalation of violent authoritarianism from our next door neighbour.

The Liberals have used their newly acquired majority to push through major changes to Canada’s laws at the last minute and shut down debate on legislation with major implications for the lives of Canadians. This is not normal. This is what happens when a government thinks it can act with impunity.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people. Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.
Screenshot of a post from Donald Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

Our country needs a vision that doesn’t just take the world as it is, but fights for the world we need. Now more than ever, Canada needs the NDP. Our campaign is charting the party's comeback — throwing open its doors to the 99% to build the biggest tent it has ever seen. Cast your ballot today.

Canada must call for an immediate ceasefire as the US and Israel continue their illegal and reckless war.  We should be demanding justice for violations of international law and war crimes, not tap-dancing around whether or not we support this disastrous Trump-led military adventure.

The cost of my reporting stared me in the face last week, when two Nazis showed up to try to intimidate me for my journalism on a private night out. But that’s far from the only fallout of my latest investigation. I took a few days, watching the reaction -- and now I’ve got much more to share:

Canadians need to come to terms with the fact that we are complicit in the killing, genocide, destruction, and illegal acts going on in the Middle East and elsewhere. Yesterday, 295 MPs proved that they're ok with contradicting our own country's values, and our (legal) obligations to human rights.

Uta Frith says masking isn't real. Huh. That's weird, because there's a whole academic book (among other things) written about it. Autistic Masking was published in 2023. Somehow, I doubt she's read it. Sigh. #AutisticMasking #AutismResearch #AuDHD
The book, "Autistic Masking: Understanding Identity Management and the Role of Stigma," by Amy Pearson and Kieran Rose. The cover is charcoal grey with a picture of a colorful chameleon on a branch. There are several sticky tabs hanging out of the book. The book is sitting on a grey and floral cushion.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.
