Has @thekatemulgrew.bsky.social seen this incredible custom #VOY video? Janeway's inspirational monologue from S1E1 over the gospel choir version of Like A Prayer cut with perfect show clips & ending with her 3 things to remember about being a starship captain talk with Naomi. Perfect! 🤌 #StarTrek

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

🇮🇪 In an official statement, Irish broadcaster RTÉ states that “Ireland will not take part in the 2026 #Eurovision Song Contest if the participation of Israel goes ahead.” A final decision on Ireland’s participation will be made after the EBU’s decision on Israel.

remember everyone (in UK) : this is tomorrow (Sunday 7th Sept): www.gov.uk/government/n... GOV.UK UK’s Emergency Alert system The UK government will be carrying out a national test of the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September at 3pm.

Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The government is heading in a dark direction.

An occasional reminder that JK Rowling is a horrible mould snorting cunt who I hope receives a percentage of the pain she has put on upon others directly, indirectly and financially. She is an evil scumbag who cant write for shit and I reckon she stinks of piss. AbracaFuckOff

Joseph has finished his walk. Well done and thank you! Also thanks to all who have helped us to raise £1030. Every penny will go to helping Autistic people ❤️ Justgiving page still open here: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

You can protect children without harming minorities - but with the UK government we have I’m sadly unsurprised they have just put in place this conservative legislation.

Day 8 update from Joseph: ‘Perfect Scottish hiking weather today. Overcast but no precipitation, temperature in the mid teens and a gentle breeze to keep the midges away. Now in Glencoe mountain resort campsite. Only a marathon left of the walk to go!’ www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Day 6 update from a very soggy Joseph: ‘Made it to Tyndrum, finally over half way. Been rained on all day, waiting for a gap in the rain to set up my tent.’ www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Day 5 update from Joseph: ‘Made it to campsite. Suns out and midgies are awakening too. It's quite the obstacle course from Inversnaid to Ardleish!!’ Thank you to all have donated, read more & donate: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Joseph has made it to Inversnaid. Joseph says: ‘Rain was easing up so the midgies had a party. Not fun setting up the tent in these conditions and means I will have to spend an hour before bedtime squishing the ones that made it inside’ www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Update from Joseph: 'A short walk today over conic hill. Tomorrow it'll be a 15 mile slog from Balmaha to Inversnaid hopefully before the scheduled downpour in the evening' www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

This is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. It’s a new section 28 and none of us should be accepting this or standing by watching. We must resist. Now.

Joseph is on his way to Scotland: ‘Hurtling on the way to Glasgow on a crowded pendolino. Todays section of the walk will be from Glasgow to Milngavie, a great contrast to the rest of it’ To read more about the challenge and donate: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Time to re-share this piece I made a year ago today about neurodiversity and neurodivergence, and why the important distinctions between them is not about grammar/linguistics.
