Hi. Everything I want to say it at the following link, which contains why I think Patrick Barb should not be HWA President. I'm going to step away from socials for a few hours now, and will see you all later. 🫀 CW: sexual misconduct. theodorehill.weebly.com/statement.html

Seems kinda obvious now! I think I just can't remember being into the moomins as a kid, while buffalo/bison were a point of fascination and I also had them as Playmobil toys

Congratulations to everyone in receipt of one of these awards, including AMASE Committee member @gideongregory.bsky.social! Some really exciting projects getting funded. It's not a lot of money by many organisations' standards, but we know what Autistic people can achieve with passion and support!

Quite happy with my first conference paper presentation on 'Constructing Language(s) and (Neuro)Divergence in Haden Elgin's Native Tongue' at #bsls2026 - naturally including #conlang and #autism talk! Anyone interested feel free to visit autistic.conlang.org, although it's still quite empty...

Hey there, this is a placeholder for AutisticConlang.org – a planned website for all things Autistic & Linguistic, especially if it involves constructed languages (conlangs)! Those are languages made ...

So living with my parents abruptly became unsafe (mentally/emotionally) and I'm leaving ASAP. I have somewhere to go, but it's out of state. I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀 Venmo: probablyharmless PayPal: theohillwriter at gmail

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Author Terry Pratchett was an unflinching trans ally, say the trans fans who met him

If thats Buchanan Street Bus station I've been there a lot but never noticed, which doesn't really speak for my situational or spatial awareness!

Not to add to the author's intellectual insecurity, but the German in parentheses is wrong (wrong article and adjective declension) 🫣

Tomorrow (the 21st of June) is Pride in our Community, in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh. AMASE Chair @fergus.oolong.co.uk will be one of the speakers, talking about the indivisibility of the struggles for queer, trans and neurodivergent liberation.

Graphic with a purple check bacground. It says 'Pride in our community! Holyrood Park 21st June - 11am-12:45pm" at the top. Below this is a white box which says "On our stage you'll hear from:" Followed by the Living Rent, Trans Kids Deserve Better, Exhale Glasgow, AMASE, Unison, Queer Disabled Edinburgh and Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh logos. "Alongside speakers from the community!" At the bottom are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos.

Graphic with a purple check background. In the middle is an illustrated map of Holyrood Park showing the location of the event on the left side of the park close to the palace wall and the car park entrance. Above the map it says: "Holyrood Parl 21st June 11am-12:45pm" "How to Find us!" There is an arrow pointing to the Education Centre on the map with a box that says "There will be pride crafts and a chill out zone with EN staff in the Holyrood Park Education Centre." At the bottom of the graphic it says "Level access to Holyrood park is available from the main car park at the Palace of Holyrood House."

Comrades! Now the audiobook's finally out, I have five codes for free audible copies of *Empire of Normality: Neurodiversity and Capitalism*. If you want one just like and share/quote this post. After 48 hours I'll pick five sharers at random to send the codes to.

Audiobook cover, white background with black text reading "Empire of Normality: neurodiversity and capitalism, Robert Chapman, Elliot Fitzpatrick". There is a silhouette of a sideways face, with an image of birds instead of a face.
