I write my own books using my own brain. It’s a weird little brain, granted, and full of quirks, but at least it’s not GenAI. 😊

Certain government department can count itself lucky the price of fuel is too high to run a flamethrower. Last Friday: A letter about the decision has been sent. Monday: It should be there shortly Tuesday: You'll have it by weeks end +2 panic attacks Today-Oh that letter hasn't been finalised yet. 😡

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

Kidnapped in international waters by a rogue state that is committing genocide, ethnic cleansing and illegal invasions and land grabs of its neighbours. But still @MichealMartinTD will not sanction them. Instead he and his government are aiding their crimes. #SpéirGorm

Not now, mysterious freezing cold submarine-eating underwater structures

Will this 'examination' ever be complete?🤔 We need full BDS. Our bill to sanction Israel will be voted on in the Dáil this Wednesday evening. We need to fully cut genocidal Israel off economically, just like was done with apartheid South Africa. #VoteToSanctionIsrael

Well I completely missed that among the people kidnapped from the aid for gaza flotilla by the IDF is one Dr. Margret Connolly who was part of the doctors without borders contingent. If you're wondering why that surname is familiar, she is the President's sister.

One of the interesting tangential aspects of Trump's visit to China is that he can't control the media output. Some of the photos are UNREAL. Had to check this carefully suspecting it was altered or AI gen, but I have found it on three known press outlets with credit to a global photo agency. 😱

I tri to avoud presenting this angle too much but I considere it pretty Autistic coded ... and real life Autistic behavior to use performance based special interests as the social lubraicant ... like performing magic tricks. It's much easier for to do a trick than, you know ... *talk*

Good work kids, sorry your commencement speaker wasn't great but hope you enjoyed booing the heck out of him.

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Our politicians and media outlets are not interested in good governance. They have been defensively stationed around the neoliberal revolution for about 18 years, all guns pointed outward at the public, opening fire on anyone who e.g. suggests our rivers shouldn’t be full of human shit.

YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND POWER! DO YOUR STRETCHES.

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

There's a guy in Ireland writing African stories and publishing in Irish because "he knows colonialism and how important preserving language is" and we love to fuckin see it folks

A very good afternoon to the absolute hero who organised and parked this beauty in the middle of little Tommy’s far-right hate march. ❤️

I think I've figured out some reasons I always have problems interacting with public systems, (healthcare, welfare etc.) On any given day I'm doing the very best I can so I forget that I'm interacting with a service where there's a sizeable cohort trying to do the very least they can get away with.

A little thing I wrote about the increasing socio-economic divide between older women.... open.substack.com/pub/storystr...

It's so hard seeing someone else live your dream

Some traits of autism in Black women are often overlooked. Let’s talk about hyper-vigilance a survival skill that can mask autistic traits , as Black women this just adds another layer to our unique experience as autistic individuals 🌻

Well I for one having a lot of fun running D.A.M.N.I.T. and recently Daggerheart and my (formerly D&D group) have been having a lot of fun too... www.belloflostsouls.net/2026/05/hasb...

Another day another dumbass company email talking about how AI has improved their internal communications capability. Sir, (because it's almost always is a bro) What you're telling me is that your employees are incapable of crafting a simple email unaided. My business will be going elsewhere. K? Bye

LOL

I see the “people on Bluesky love buying books” topic again and I would like to suggest that you buy my very gay and delightful and emotional and fun books and then get really into them and spread the word so that I may gradually take over the genre

Yesterday I discovered the word Eutectic, which is a mixture that has a melting point lower than that of the constituent parts. I have the same constituent parts as most men but put in the wrong situation my melting point is lower. So I am not having an autistic meltdown, it's a Eutectic reaction!

As an autistic person, I manage RSD, which is rejection sensitive dysphoria. So, I became an… author? Oh dear.

So sorry if you were on my stream lmao my internet died and isn’t coming back. Next streams I wanna finish the comic about rejection sensitivity & bad relationships

“In some cases it appears it was synthesizing very poor quality studies, or mixing together findings from studies that simply cannot be accurately compared due to very different methods, populations, and samples. It really seemed like a paper that should not have been published in the first place.”

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Babe. You’re not lazy. You’re disabled. It’s not because you don’t want to do it that you don’t do it. It’s literally beyond your current ability. You don’t have the executive function for it sweetie.

Not to victim blame but this balloon does feel like it's asking for trouble

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Just three weeks left until our conference!! I'm so excited!

Apparently some people are buying my book now, which is slightly alarming because I wrote it while standing beside nettles wondering why the frogs are more emotionally stable than humans :-) Nature’s Acre is available from @thebookshopie.bsky.social thebookshop.ie/ciaran-de-bu...

AI produces MORE editorial labor, not less. “[To weed out slop] the journal doubled its deputy editors from 6 to 11 & nearly doubled its sr editors from roughly 30 to 60. All of this is volunteer labor, unpaid academics donating time to maintain scientific quality.“ www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

They're just straight up calling autism a social contagion now. Exactly the same thing they did to trans people.

Autism the social contagion! I’m sorry but do you know anything about autism? Are you suggesting I caught my preference for extremely specific Molam from other people because in fact they make fun of me for it. Autism is in fact the opposite of the social contagion

Like I was labeled as a baby because I was so singular, so untouched by the influence of others. Do you understand how fucking stupid you sound suggesting it’s social contagion?

Just wanted to boost the signal of this UK-wide study of emergency medical care which includes the experiences of neurodivergent people.
