The fact that headlines like this and certain shitty documentaries are making it harder *specifically* for us to even acknowledge it to ourselves, let alone other people, is an act of cruelty, isn’t it? Solidarity!!

Such a good book, honestly. I’ve never looked at the world the same way since. Did you know they’re only now researching the effects of hormone cycles on ADHD? In the year of our lord 2026? 40-odd years after ADD was first coined?

I was radicalised by the chapter about medical research in Caroline Criado Perez’s Invisible Women and have been furious ever since

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the reason there’s so much curated cultural outrage over the increase in diagnoses is that SO MANY WOMEN ARE BEING DIAGNOSED LATER IN LIFE. What, are we supposed to fund healthcare for WOMEN now are we?! Gross. No. Shut it down.

It kind of is at some levels, particularly the pushback against GenAI, but there’s definitely more opportunities to work together that aren’t being taken!

In preparation for this I am elbow-deep in stats comparing Scottish creators to the UK as a whole. It is veeeeery interesting… For example, did you know there’s a higher concentration of self-published creators in Scotland? Now you do, you nerd!

BREAKING📢 Crack team of climate scientists show "it is no longer defensible for companies proposing new or extended fossil fuel projects to claim the climate harms will be negligible. Our research shows the harms are, in fact, tangible and quantifiable – and no project is too small to matter"

theconversation.com

For the first time, we linked a new fossil fuel project to hundreds of deaths. Here’s the impact of Woodside’s Scarborough gas project

The results challenge claims that the climate risks posed by an individual fossil fuel project are negligible or cannot be quantified.
