Probably best to avoid me for the next few weeks because I just finished @timbl.bsky.social memoir and I am insufferable. I am skillfully steering every conversation so that I can bring up an anecdote from the book.

As a mum of an autistic child, I don't feel any guilt. I do, however, feel furious and terrified because the end goal is to make autistic lives unliveable. This. Is. Fascism.

I wish more disabled and/or neurodivergent people (not to mention the ableds) would understand that the explicit openly stated goal of tech companies re gAI is to replace every public/social service from healthcare to education and more with their tech. And they’re using us to build consensus.

SEND parents: We need more TAs and 1-1s in school Government: there's no money. Also government: (I'm not anti tech but this is not the silver bullet the goverment thinks it is. It does not 'assist' kids with social communication differences and sensory processing disorders)

I was genuinely horrified to be told in parenting course for kids with additional needs to ask Chat GPT for Occupational Therapy advice because the waiting lists are out of control

My eldest often assigns family and friends names related to a thing he's interested in. (We've had planet names, Thomas characters etc). He's currently into Gladiators. He is referring to me exclusively as Mark Clattenburg.

At the 'Women Talking' symposium in Leeds. Blown away by the way @feministbell.bsky.social presents. A real feminist ethics of care in the way she curates and communicates info. I don't know how to explain it other than to say it's like watching a really good documentary.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

This week friends & colleagues @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social are finding out whether they are facing compulsory redundancy. Sombre times. We don’t think UEA has *ever treated its own people like this before. It’s both cruel & unnecessary @uea-ucu.bsky.social

Seeing irritating chat about gentle parenting. Here's my hot take: Parenting is impossible. Everyone is doing their best (with limited support/resources). Don't add to their guilt with your shit opinions.
