We will not make things safer for anyone-through badly rehearsed narratives of “national emergency” and selective outrage. The attacks on the Jewish men were described as terrorism. The attack on the Muslim man was described as “an altercation.” Same attacker. Same day. Same violence.

What if we stopped pathologising autistic interests, and started valuing them? In our next Autism Central webinar, Dr Myrto Kakoulidou talks with Dr Amy Pearson about how interests can bring joy and play a vital role in autistic people’s wellbeing. www.autismcentral.nhs.uk/events/inter...

We are living through a moment where it feels increasingly clear that Palestine will not be free, some deny genocide despite hundrends of thousand rotten bodies under rumbles, that Iran is in serious danger, ICE is terrorising immigrants and their allies and global “peace” forum= horror gatherings,

We often talk about "post-colonial" worlds, but the lived reality in Palestine, and the systemic aggression in South America, suggest otherwise. The actions of the United States (and allies) today mirror the colonial strategies of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Speaker on Trauma at #AFBuzzwords25 Tuesday - hard journey and arrived for second half - doodled while listening for concentration - it was all very good. ‘We need to look after each other’ #Trauma #AutisticTrauma #BeingBelieved
Drawing in biro of strange crow like birds and weird animals in seven small group sings all joined up on A4 paper - one watching ants a crocodile talking to an insect, a bird shaking feathers loose, 5 creatures arguing, a bird tripping up, an upright slug like specked creature and a hairy creature with 2 smaller one attached.
