I just wrote a @fuelpovertyaction.bsky.social letter: Energy Minister - @martinmcluskey.bsky.social meet with victims of cowboy retofits. It's shocking that he's refusing to meet with the largest victim support group for the retro-failure crisis. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/ener...

Is it typical for a CEO to be part-time? And does anyone have a good lawyer they can recommend? Not sure what it comes under, but it involves a govt scheme, incompetence, fraud and a prolonged and deliberately obstructive complaints process.

I just emailed my MP through the #CleanWaterNow campaign 🌊 calling for a new water law to stop pollution and restore rivers, lakes and seas. Every voice matters – will you join me? action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/clean...

@martian-observer.art @callie99.bsky.social @ghobubo.bsky.social @pombalstoat.bsky.social OK this *is* my penance "trivia" because it was 20 years ago and I'm still laughing.

A sweet old lady wrote me to ask if I would help her out by signing off Jeopardy! every night saying "Don't forget your night medicine, my friends." I am actively considering this.

Opinion | I don't believe Democrats about the moon landing or the COVID vaccine. Here's why I do believe Pam Bondi about the Epstein client list.

This is fascinating. Thank you so much @Saloni and friend. open.spotify.com/episode/4nIj...

Went to my first ever proper gig last night, aged 51. Was bought the ticket as a thank you. We had so much fun. It was outside, not too crowded, not too hot. The band were tight. I could feel the music. It was awesome. More live music. Just not festivals/mud/and def no camping.

Fuck summer, fuck lawns and fuck off lawn mowers. I feel like I'm dying. I hate this heat.

I feel so honored that my book, Mind the Science, has been named a finalist for the 2024 Science Writers and Communicators of Canada Book Award. 😊✌️ sciencewriters.ca/bookawards2024

Fellow scientists, help me out? In Star Wars, there is a female 'clone' of a male human (I checked the species). I *know* it's fiction, but, surely this would not be possible? She's also called Omega, which I find insulting. The unaltered male clone is called Alpha (Boba).

@neurodivergent-lou.bsky.social I was looking to see if you had shared your Google form here. Was hoping to share.

9 signs you might be autistic 1. You have a hard time finding people you connect with in a deep and meaningful way. You've struggled to make friends because of this. 2. You have a really hard time with unspoken rules or rules that don't make sense to you.

Missed my train to Hastings for physio so called to say I would be 10 mins late. Then I somehow got off one station too early so my appointment is cancelled.

Horrible fiery skyball is back 😭

What is the program 'Austin' about? I'd do a poll, but I don't want to sway the replies in any direction.

Can anyone explain to me why low air pressure makes my head feel like it is being crushed? It's counterintuitive to me, I would expect high air pressure to do that. What am I missing? Forgive me if I'm being thick, I have a migraine.

it's somewhat depressing 😕 that this was 10 years ago...and Food Babe, like a bad penny, is back with the same nonsense ( @thescibabe.bsky.social )

Discovered I had a flat tyre on Saturday en route to visit my dear friend for the weekend. Given that my health was behaving, I put on the spare and get the tyre fixed at my destination. My initial jubilance was flattened when the garage told me it was nearly falling off.

Are you/is one allowed to swear on YouTube or do they get all pearl-clutchy? Asking for me. Gonna do a video.

An article on this is from Wired with Professor Sarah Garfinkel and our chair Jane Green MBE @jgjanegreenmbe.bsky.social following an important study on this called ADIE. #interoception #understanding #hypermobility #emotionalRegulation #mcas www.wired.com/story/sarah-...

Interoception This inner sense informs us of the state of our internal body. It’s might be surprising to know that some people have differences actually knowing when they have more or less insight into their bodily senses such as anxiety or how fast their heart is beating.

I know this preprint is getting a lot of attention- I wanted to talk a bit about its findings and address some of the questions that are floating around: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread🧵

If there are a few Americans listening, absolutely none of this is true. This curious woman is deranged, and was booted out of Parliament six months ago.

This lovely student is looking for more autistic people to interview. He's hoping to be able to influence positive change. Please share.
