#EduSky🍎 A joyous thread 🧵 Feeling incredibly proud today and wanted to share a story that fills my heart. Sometimes in this work, you connect with a "unicorn" client, and their journey is a powerful reminder of why I do what I do. #TutoringSuccess 1/8

It is still over a week away, but join in if you know the words… 🎼 It’s beginning to look a lot like Shark Week, Everywhere you scroll; Take a look at my screen, you’ll see, A tuxedo cat strikes with glee, Batting at the sharks on my screensaver roll. #Caturday #TuxedoCat #SharkWeek #Predators

#ReIntroduction 🧵 Hello Bluesky! I'm David. I’m a multiply disabled & #AuDHD scientist who spent years researching antimicrobial resistance. After a life-changing accident and my own journey navigating academia as a disabled student, I founded DW Tutoring. #EduSky🍎 🧪 1/5

One year on. Reading my #poem Green Eyes In Shadow’s Silhouette. I am sorry for my poor reading. Less sobbing than when I read to him. Mr Kitty, I will never forget you. 11/09/2007 - 09/07/2024 ⚠️Some graphic images of his cancer biopsy and at rest. #Poetry #RainbowBridge

#EduSky🍎 #MicroSky 🧪 Do you remember when the other place was great for #ScienceComm? Anyway, as it was world #Zoonoses day yesterday, the message bares repeating. Do not miss your dog - for both your sakes.

T.S. Eliot's Prufrock isn't just about modernist angst. For many of us, it's a devastatingly accurate portrayal of #neurodivergent paralysis & the exhaustion of #masking. In my new article in Sonnet Sleuths, I explore the poem through my own lens: as a #queer, #disabled, and ADHD educator.

Back to Cat's Eye for the nth time. Atwood's exploration of #trauma, institutional failure, and using art to process the unprocessable feels more relevant each time I read. As a disabled scholar navigating systems that claim to help while harming, Elaine's insights cut deep. #Atwood #Rereading

The three-body problem explains autism support: autistic person + environment = manageable. Add rigid diagnostic systems and you get chaos, not the neat severity levels policymakers want. My analysis of why Australia's approach fundamentally fails 
#auspol #ActuallyAutistic #DisabilityPolicy

Autism has its own #ThreeBodyProblem. Level 2 ASD ‘validated’ me, but why must we rank human needs? Severity levels feed #NDIS exclusion & systemic #ableist bias. One shrink said I was ‘faking’; the system says I’m ‘not impaired enough.’ Time to incinerate the hierarchies 🔥 #ActuallyAutistic

I can't express how valuable a comment on my #poetry is. A small collection of new experimental poems that diverge from conventional forms, using broken typography, parenthetical consciousness, & fragmented text to discover meaning through a schism in self. Read here: medium.com/@dwtutoringe...

I've been reassessed as Level 2 ASD. While I firmly believe that these "levels" are misguided & should be entirely eliminated, it provides some comfort after the initial psychiatrist dared to accuse me of faking the condition just because I hold post-graduate degrees. #ActuallyAutistic #Ableism

Dramatised scenes from my first client this morning. They were so excited to tell me they had achieved their very first “A” in mathematics (or in any subject). This after very nearly dropping out of school due to little #ActuallyAutistic support. So happy - deserves it. #EduSky🍎 #iTeachMaths♾️

What does it mean to survive in a world not built for you? As a person living with multiple, complex #disabilities, I am forced to juggle pain, #SystemicBarriers, and the constant threat of #homelessness. Not just my story, but a reflection of countless others who have been failed by #auspol

If you are at National Education Union's annual conference I am running a leadership workshop from 12.45-1.45 today in Harewood 1: Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB): how to equip coaches and mentors Find out more here: neu.org.uk/events/annua.... #NEU2025

Friends, if you're able please kick in to help David to remain housed and cover medical expenses. #MutualAidAustralia #MutualAid #HelpSky 💸💕

Thinking outside the box for some clients next week. Hopefully some exercise with silly and fun shenanigans will help to build trust, and encourage engagement. Ran out of time today to try it 😩 I mean, what could possibly go wrong..? #EduSky🍎 #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #PDA #UDL #TIA #Caturday

perhaps we can't change this increasingly intolerable world we live in but we may be able to change David's mind about those elusive miracles! please take a look at his fundraiser.

Who else can resonate with this? Fellow #ActuallyAutistic family, how and when did you start to recognise and acknowledge the signs? What tips are you willing to share that help you to either prevent, reduce and or alleviate #AutisticBurnout (preferably ones that are universally available)?

An oldie, but a goodie (I also like the one about using poetry to reduce #MathsAnxiety). I have been sharing this one a lot this year. Some of the experiences I’ve had and are hearing from some clients are wild. 🧪 #EduSky🍎 #iTeachMath♾️ #TrUDL #Inclusion #Accessibility

The last straw was a well-known NPO with a 30-year history, giving me a number to get me off the phone. To a women-only shelter. So #MutualAid is my last resort. #FYI I hate asking, far more than you feel uncomfortable reading this. Don't worry, y'all. I stopped expecting miracles long ago.

Resharing for Trans Day of visibility. We see you 🩵🤍🩷 #Poerty #TransDayOfVisibility

Now that, my friends, was a proper #Caturday!

Sad, frustrating thread about #poverty, #auspol and #HousingInsecurity

Out of the mouths of babes. Client this evening: “You should always come to our house for your birthday. Because we’re your only friends.” #EduSky🍎 #Tutoring #ActuallyAutistic #Birthday

“What’s to day, my fine fellow?" said Scrooge. Indeed, it's St. Patrick's Day! Historically, blue was the colour associated with St. Patrick, not the vibrant green that dominates celebrations today. #StPatricksDay #StPaddy

If a business, in this case a charity, claim to be activists and advocates that claim they incorporate and celebrate #Intersectionality… …yet their own director uses their #power and #privilege to punch down, #gaslight and belittle individuals from marginalised groups, could you trust them?

Happy π day for all who celebrate. #DYK Rajveer Meena of India, recited the first 70,000 decimal places of π in 2015? In 2021, π was calculated to over 62.8 trillion decimal places by computers. The earliest known calculation of π dates back to ancient Egypt around 1650 BCE! #HappyPiDay

Happy birthday Rīx! Hope you are having a great day and enjoying all your treats.

Happy #Caturday ! Here is Miss Rose versus wind blown curtains. Thankfully, she didn’t climb them. As a kitten, she was a notorious curtain climber. But she’s a bit chonkier now.

Thirteen orbits around the sun you would have completed today, my sweet Millie—thirteen constellations of memories now scattered across the firmament of my heart. #Millie #Dog #RainbowBridge

The best case worst case about the cyclone is, if I do flood I won’t have to do the final clean following my eviction. Jokes on you horrid lying RE and owner. Maybe ya should have done all those repairs nine plus years ago… #auspol #disabled #HousingCrisis #TCAlfred #FallacialDichotomy

This ancient guardian of Queensland's canopy graces my front steps today. In Yuggera Country, this female Giant Grasshopper (Valanga irregularis) reveals some of nature's most extraordinary engineering as she pauses in quiet contemplation. #AustralianWildlife #YuggeraCountry #InsectWonders

In the last few weeks, I've been sent pillar to post to get assistance with #housing. QLD housing (n) sends me to a. a-x, a-n, a-b, b-x, b-n, c-x, c-n, d-c, d-n, d-a, d-n. You get the idea, except n will not see me without evidence from a-z, who keep sending me back to n. #auspol #disabled

Nobody chooses homelessness. Nobody chooses poverty. This is systemic. We don’t set social security, wages, awards, hours, we don’t set rents - the rents are unaffordable as investment greed surpasses government control. The free market only exists for the investor class. #RaiseTheRate #CapRents

Life as a cat day 77: Did you know a town in Alaska had a cat as a mayor for 20 years? I'm thinking of running. Mabel for mayor ok?😸💗🐈 #cats #catsofbluesky #meow #cat #catlover #kitty #cute #skycats #caturday

🧪 🦗 A different type of a #BugsLife thread. #EduSky🍎

Life as a cat day 71: Just want some peace and quiet around here so I can continue dreaming. 😺💗😻 #cats #catsofbluesky #meow #cat #catlover #kitty #cute #skycats #catnap #caturday

A short thread 🧵 about #eviction, #poverty, ridiculous expectations and demands that #auspol have for the #disabled and marginalised groups, plus a black kitten.

This morning, my client and their father refused to accept my polite refusal of their gifts. So I now have a miniature #diorama in front of me, where sadly, #Astro lost the battle. But I must resist, and finish these assignments and other paperwork. #ActuallyAutistic #Warhammer #HandPainted

How hydrated is your #kitteh? #Caturday

🧪 Too many news agencies spreading this viral story to name and shame them all. Can’t find my debunk post from a few years ago, but this is kind of the same. A #humpback whale is physically unable to #swallow a human, let alone a few in a kayak. Story = clicks - but technically false. #SciComm

Thank you fur the reminder Mabel! roses <- red violets <- blue today <- Valentines rbind(me, you) #AcademicValentine
