This is doing really well. Keep it going.

Two weeks for this now. If you’re from the UK, sign it. If you’re not from the UK, share it. If this passes through parliament, this could change lives.

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

Plotting to carnally deposit Cadbury’s Mini Eggs in a woman’s bed because I interpret cinema correctly

Hire Guy (this one, not any guy)

I think, fundamentally, that I need to get better at Blagging. I am a very competent writer and performer, and I am very good at coming up with puzzles/Game etc, but I am *terrible* at getting that across. I need to learn how to walk up to a stranger and say "I am fucking brilliant. Pay me for it."

Two weeks for this now. Keep signing, keep sharing. Go, go, go!

I have lexical-gustatory synesthesia, which means words evoke tastes. A lot of the time it’ll be food, other times it’s the imagined texture of something on the tongue (like a small pebble). Tell me your name and I’ll tell you what it tastes like

Gave him his birthday bumps

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

It’s Prince Andrew’s birthday today. When you realise for a moment he probably thought somebody had come barging in with a cake, it makes it all the sweeter

Keeper of the Gender vows to stop your future three-year-old from recklessly grabbing the lilac slip-on heels in the dressing-up box or using the ladies toilet in McDonald’s, even when he’s bursting

In case anybody’s planning on throwing a baby shower and handing out first prize for ‘Best Terf’

The lead roles in Wuthering Heights presented a very real opportunity for two outstanding Yorkshire actors, and the film would have been better for it

The new series of The Assembly dropped on ITVX at the weekend, starring David Tennant and Danny Dyer. Here’s an article I wrote last year about the show’s format and portrayals of autism on screen. medium.com/@elsalwillia...

Three years gone, but not forgotten by your community. 🏳️‍⚧️💔 RIP Brianna.

As far as I see it, money can only have value if you use it to better your life, the people around you, and, if you have enough of it, strangers in need. Don’t get the billionaire hoarding business. Where’s the meaning in withholding others from doing better? If we ignore them, what’s the point?

Some folks have recently been kind enough to buy me a coffee! You lovely sausages. If YOU want to support your local tit, you can go to www.ko-fi.com/guy and do so! In thanks, you will get either knuckle tattoos, or I'll walk upstairs and give you a definition from my 1920s book of hobo slang!

Wow, this was a powerful ad. Incredible, but these victims had to air a commercial during the Super Bowl to try and get justice...

Personally I would appreciate it if Alton Towers launched an autistic slow lane so I never ever have to go on any rides, but I can queue and look brave about it

I do social media management for @andrewhickey.500songs.com and somebody’s commented on one of the platforms ‘I don’t think Andrew will appreciate you, pressuring people to sign up to the Patreon on his behalf’

At 9pm on February 10, 1972, David Bowie debuted his most famous alter-ego, Ziggy Stardust, during a concert at the Toby Jug pub in Tolworth, South West London. Around 60 people attended the gig.

Watching the new BBC adaptation of Lord of the Flies (having never read the book) and it's just Peter Pan meets Midsommar, isn't it

"All My Worldly Joy is essential reading for mental health professionals, and offers hope for those still submerged in psychiatric systems." @elsawilliams.bsky.social reviews @laurarichmond.bsky.social's memoir of motherhood and mental health. www.nsun.org.uk/book-review-...

Thank you very much to Elsa and to @nsunnews.bsky.social for this kind and insightful review.

“We’re familiar with the phrase ‘poor historian’ when it comes to a patient, but what is the term for the health professional who will inevitably scan your past and come to the wrong conclusion?” Had the pleasure of reviewing All My Worldly Joy by Laura Richmond for NSUN this week.

Baffles me when you publish a piece of writing based on your experiences and a person chooses to respond by saying, ‘I just wish you’d mentioned *this*, a key part of MY experience that I, myself, could write about’

Whoever generously sent me a Ko-fi today, you bought the ingredients for these! A small, very specific gang of Liverpool queers will be thrilled. Thank you xx

Autistic girls are much less likely to be diagnosed, and the fun doesn’t stop there

Made Biscoff cookies for some lovely pals. Ignoring the fact they're shaped like steak slices trying their best to look like biscuits in order to get served (in a universe where you legally have to be a biscuit)

Okay who wrote this article about me

This is not far off the images and language which we have seen from ICE in US. It's directly aimed at using people's suffering to dehumanise them. The imagery is tested, and shown, to portray those seeking asylum as "criminals", rather than needing safety. This is how Trump works, how ICE works.

Oh this is good.

1/x 🧵 ICE has booked at least 3,800 children + (Drawing by a 5-year-old detained in Texas with her mother. “I am 5 years old” is written at the top. Lower down, next to stick figures, are the words “let us go.” You don't have to know your Bible to hear myriad echoes here, but phew, those too.)

Yeah. A good deal of this is familiar.

“What I’m waiting for, still, is a nuanced portrayal of autistic adults on our screens. I’d like to tell you how your world looks equally baffling to ours, except your absurdities are our social expectations. We’d be amused by it all, just like you’re amused by us, but we have to play the game.”
