We are concerned by the nature of the media attention focused on the election of Dr Q Manivannan to the Scottish Parliament at the recent election.

For the first time in decades I am boycotting Eurovision this year. I’m sad something I get so much joy from has driven me to this. #Eurovision #Eurovision2026 #Eurovision26

Very important update for people on the Sandyford Adult Service waiting list - Please share widely to ensure that as many people are aware as possible!

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. Solidarity today and everyday with trans and non-binary folk who claim space unapologetically. As governments turn trans visibility into a matter of “ideology,” we must refuse to see trans lives as a debate and instead nurture trans joy, safety, and belonging.

With today being Transgender day of visibility go seek out and listen to some Trans led D&D Podcasts .... Or any Trans led podcasts ... or just Transgender voices in general and if you enjoy it or learn something simply keep listening or I will kick the fuck out of you

We’ve joined with some other Autistic People’s Organisations in Scotland including @amase.org.uk and @semascot.bsky.social to publish a shared manifesto ahead of May’s Scottish election. “Nothing about us without us.” read the full manifesto here: arghscotland.org/apo-manifest...

So excited my copy of this has arrived today. Thanks @adamzed.bsky.social

How did a TV show do that?

If these organisations fear closing down in the face of a hate-driven financial attack, play chicken. Announce proceedings to close down if their commitment to trans inclusivity is threatened by a stretched interpretation of the judgment. I suspect more people would rally around to support them.

She really is a queen!

Our CEO was in The Herald yesterday commenting on last week’s Herald Awards. “Across public life, animosity towards trans people is becoming more overt and more prominent” Read the article here: www.heraldscotland.com/politics/hol...

Happy Bisexuality Day from me and my little bi pins. Hope y’all feel powerful, seen and welcome today and every other day. #BiVisibilityDay #BiPrideDay

During pregnancy, acetaminophen — the main ingredient in Tylenol — is generally considered a safe painkiller and fever reducer. Research hasn’t shown that it causes autism.

I am begging people to please seek out Autistic voices if you want to learn about autism. You will find that rather than wanting our lives to be prevented or cured, we want appropriate supports for ALL Autistic people (including those with intellectual disability and other co-occurring conditions).

Paracetamol (Tylenol) does not cause autism, and it is a source of great dismay that autism researchers and Autistic advocates still have to spend so much time battling misinformation. Research on causes of autism systematically fails to control for the existence and behaviour of Autistic parents.

No doubt the US leaders will try to link e.g. paracetamol to autism. Can I recommend www.tylervigen.com/spurious-cor... for anyone who can't work out what's causing what? Hilarious site that compares things that 'seem' to cause each other. But they don't.

We got shortlisted in the gaming category at the Indie Podcast Awards with our pals in @dicecompany.bsky.social who are much better than us and also shortlisted is podcast that wins this award every year. I dont fancy our chances
