some guy in australia has a PhD in the phenomenology of autistic people meeting angels via facilitated communication. one of them met a biblically accurate mega-eyes thing and another met god.

there's one paragraph in the whole thing that says "some people are skeptical". Well, no, it's a discredited technique that has been used as justification to sexually abuse autistic people, and half the people who practice it think that nonverbal autistic people can communicate with angels. so

good friday over, it‘s safe to go to the chipper again

Just realised that literally the only thing Katarina learns from the Doctor in her 4 hours or so as a companion is how to operate a switch to operate a door, AND THAT'S HOW SHE DIES #DoctorWho

I like the way boxers clench their fists in photos so you know they’re boxers. Whenever you pose for a photo you should make it clear what your job is. I think that’s a fun thing to do

POOH SHIESTY KIDNAPS AND ROBS GUCCI MANE WTF IS THE WORLD COMING TO

big frowns at this as well, hope some human was making sure ai summaries of peoples secondary care notes(!) were accurate, because 86% being incorrectly coded sounds awfully high to me (doesn’t say, i checked, does state primary care more accurate, presumably they checked them against each other)

@ruths56.bsky.social hope you’re having a good good good Good Friday xx

and the department of health has said no minister has commented on 300 patients being moved out of St Andrews hospital because of the police investigation *tumbleweed* do the press really care more about imagined overdiagnosis than 15 people being arrested for institutional assault of mh patients

a third member of build-a-future teaching staff struck off for abusing excluded/ASN [read:autistic] pupils, this time for pretending to fuck kids and calling them slurs that’s the safeguarding lead, headteacher and one teacher gone so far [filed graphic media because slurs are recorded in full]

don’t mind me, i’m just realising nick courtney was kinda hot

cinema absolutely packed for mario grow up

Fabulous photograph of one of the Cromer Peregrine Project falcons captured by a fisherman at the end of Cromer pier. It is assumed the crab was pirated from a gull. #ukwildlife

too early in the morning to be trolled like this

there’s macaroni in space

Wait until someone tells them it's pronounced "moom"

There is no legal demarcation point of where outer space starts. The Karman line (100km up) is widely accepted as an altitude where space begins. But this is not written in any international treaty and has been contested #ArtemisII

im extremely shocked by this very useful & relevant reporting from waterson

scientific reports (sigh) preprint “The incidence proportion of ASD increased from 12.8 to 26.6 per 100,000 children between 2014 and 2021, while period prevalence rose from 7.2 to 148.2 per 100,000 during the same period” *blinking* www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Chicago Streets and San are celebrating Earth Month with the introduction of Loop and I am immediately enamored with him

Pissed off scientist trying to run over a bug using his car: YOU FUCKER IM NAMING YOU FOR THIS AND IT WONT BE PRETTY

also it’s a myth you get stuff, I’ve been diagnosed 20 fucking years and have never had pip/esa or any work adjustments the only thing I get is doctors talking to me like I’m dopey because my have the code for autism on the front of my notes

Best thing Streeting could do for me is point himself at the astra so I can watch Sky 1

did anyone else know ‘tossing the cookies’ as a euphemism for puking because a guy said it yesterday and that’s not what i thought he meant at all

I’ve started checking the wind via waves on the harbour webcam rather than looking out the windae (misleading)

bit of excitement for a sunday morning

note: my autism dx didn’t follow diagnostic guidelines / isn’t “gold standard” because my parents weren't involved due to my being care experienced diagnosis might be non-standard due to circumstance, not necessarily because assessors are abrogating their duties as clinicians

my ex bought me a haircut at a fancy place for mother’s day and I just put melted chocolate in it
