Confronting hatred, protecting Jewish communities, and challenging Islamophobia. All national emergencies and everyone's duty

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...

Everything we do is fully co-produced with hashtag#autistic people and family members, ensuring that lived experience sits alongside research, not behind it. At its heart, this work is about connection, understanding and early support.

Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou @jopavlopoulou.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
There is still a great deal of work ahead... but when research evidence, ethics and co-production come together with purpose, meaningful change becomes possible.

Its mission is simple but urgent: to break loneliness and prevent crisis by sharing evidence-based education with families in a way that is grounded in lived experience and delivered with sensitivity.

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.
