For many autistic people, the sudden loss of a pet isn’t just emotionally devastating—it can be completely destabilising. The predictable patterns that make daily life manageable are shattered. By @martinemussies.bsky.social, at TPGA. thinkingautismguide.com/2026/02/the-... #autism #neurodiversity

Much looking forward to tomorrow's concert. 🎶🎵

School buildings are not neutral. They shape who gets to learn... and who is left surviving. My new article explores sensory-friendly design, #neurodiversity, and the politics of space in education. Because learning begins with the senses. www.academia.edu/165436301/Ro... . #autism #academia

I may now unofficially qualify as a cat researcher, at least according to my Bengal Boris, who supervised the entire process. Read my article on the evolutionary history of the Iriomote cat in the Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies: www.academia.edu/165198585/In... #IriomoteCat #WomenInSTEM

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".

The Welsh name for Greenland is Yr Ynys Las. There’s also a village in Wales called Ynyslas, near Aberystwyth. The people of Ceredigion clearly have a very good sense of humour! Trump is one of the worst humans ever to hold power. Vile. Solidarity with the people of Greenland from Wales. ✊ 🇬🇱❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Quiet plans can still be ambitious! 😆 This is my visionboard for 2026. not a race, not as a checklist, but more as a direction. Learning slowly, creating carefully, and staying curious across disciplines. One notebook, many paths. ✨🧠🎶 Languages & learning – Learning 2,000 kanji by the end of 2026

This is my digital scrapbook for October. Making a monthly scrapbook has become my way of marking time, instead of letting weeks blur into a vague before-and-after. If you’re curious about the thinking behind this practice, you can read more about it on my website: martinemussies.nl/web/musings/ .

This is the article: www.academia.edu/43037419/A_g... This is an English translation, done by my companion @martinemussies.bsky.social (who btw is fluent in Welsh and learnt it with no difficulties to speak of). martinemussies.nl/web/a-gorche...

A while ago, I attended an absolutely inspiring talk by Beste Sevindik, who told us about Nobu Koba and performed excerpts from her 1st violin sonata. I couldn’t resist trying it on my cello! The music is lyrical, somewhat Beethoven-esque and technically demanding. 🎻✨ #musicology #Asiastudies #cello

3 things I learned from #TheWaterHorse: 1. Water pressure physics are optional in Scotland. 2. An "Out of Order" sign won't fool people for long. 3. I know some folks who won't be happy to learn Nessie is both male and female at once. #filmsky #moviesky #Movies 🎬 www.imdb.com/title/tt0760...
