It is so disheartening, knowing that we could be bringing you fair and balanced reporting of all the Scottish and international news that matters to people in Scotland, but we are unable to because we do not have enough volunteers or the funding to pay staff.

Amazing. After nearly losing her house, and being locked away in a legal battle for years because of one innocuous line in her last TED Talk, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social returns to the Lion’s Den, and calls out the Broligarchs This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

Seeing as it is #AutismAcceptanceMonth, I thought I would share a thread, in no particular order, of some of my favourite books related to being neurodivergent, in particular the books which have helped me in some way, shape, or form. 1/

Autistics don't need "social skills training," not unless non-autistics are ALSO being trained in autistic social expectations. When we only use neurotypical norms and expectations, autistics will always look “deficient” & neurotypicals will always look “capable.” embrace-autism.com/autism-and-t...

If you're in the UK, autistic or not, please sign this. Millions of autistic people have been abused and traumatized by ABA, including myself. I haven't been in ABA since 1997 and I'm still managing the trauma today.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

I've just heard Chris Rea 'driving home for Christmas' for the first time this season. It's definitely too early for this. Feeling a bit bah-humbug.
