This triggered a memory of me getting yelled at on the Other Place for daring to suggest that teaching an autistic child to unwrap Christmas gifts "properly" was pointless and only for the (weird celebrity) parent's benefit. People were SO offended that I thought there might be other priorities!

Let me tell you - not the Love Hypothesis. This is, in fact, the physique of the average professor. No questions at this time.

A cynical person might ask, of course, why are "young men of fighting age" wearing hijabs? 🧐

When we fight for autistic and disabled people's legitimate (yet embattled) rights to live in their communities, remember that we must ALSO fight for disabled people's caregivers and direct service professionals have fair pay and sufficient supports, too. Otherwise all parties will be disadvantaged.

The horror of the Cornell SA case reveals the true purpose of these institutions: preparing the next generation of leaders for harm without accountability. Will these men still be execs, political staffers and senators? Of course they will. This is their training.

The logic is, take away the slow social murder of living on fuck all and it won't be so bad for them, because they'll be dead, and the surplus population will go down. This is the same austerian means Reform will use but Labour are painting in moralistic terms. Objectively the left wing of Farageism

I’ve recently started writing my ethics submission for my PhD Research. Of course, ethics is fundamental to all research, but can research be ethical in an institution like The University of Sheffield? An institution that colludes with the apparatuses of a genocidal war machine.

There are girls in our groups who arrived having never had a friend. Then they walk into a room where the other girls' brains work like theirs, someone saves them a seat, asks about their special interest. We run 20 of those rooms. We want 50. Donations are how rooms open - bit.ly/agndonate

The level of intellectual illiteracy from the media is astounding. Yes, ADHD as a discrete psychiatric condition is ‘socially constructed’, because it’s describing social phenomena. Just because things are ‘socially constructed’ doesn’t mean they aren’t real??

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Hossam Hassan, Egyptian men’s football head coach delivers press conference. He sits with microphone, laptop and football in front of him.

Below a quote from him reads: ‘If I do not feel the pain of what is happening to the Palestinian people, then I do not deserve to live. If any animal is harmed, we see human rights and animal welfare organisations mobilise. But when thousands of people die every day, and an entire people are forced to live in tents, no one seems to care.’
