Under new NHS puberty blocker trial protocols, trans youth are being subjected to more than 50 assessments, intrusive exams, and over 13 hours of intrusive testing - just to access lifesaving healthcare It demands young people re-live distress & undergo intimate examinations #ConversionPractices

It’s still happening & god only knows what the infinite repeat infections are doing to your body, your kids’ bodies - but if we pretend hard enough, I’m sure we can make that bit not true

Don’t wanna be a dick or nothing but all of you posting your outrage over Covid in the past tense are demonstrably part of the problem

I wrote something reflecting on today.

Yeah "Streeting has killed trans kids" isn't a catch phrase, he literally has. We have evidence of multiple kids taking their own lives as a result of his puberty blocker ban We mean it literally No one has any right to praise Streeting around me He's a child killer, literally

Watch this if you have any doubts about the real dangers of current-generation AI as it’s being used: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcIm... CW: emotional manipulation, suicide/suicidal ideation, murder

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

I and the @ScottishGreens.org have long called for a worker-led Just Transition Plan for Mossmorran - this is exactly why. The Scottish Government promised to come up with a plan more than a year ago but have failed to deliver it.

trans people exist. billionaires shouldn't.

Islamophobia does not only appear in headlines. It shows up in schools, workplaces, services, and community spaces. For Autistic Muslims, this often means navigating both Islamophobia and ableism at the same time. In recent years, the UK has witnessed a deeply troubling rise in #Islamophobia.

This article by @brettscott.bsky.social may be a couple of years old, but it will probably still be relevant until we overthrow capitalism. An excellent read. www.asomo.co/p/tech-doesn...

Scotland could support around 400 wild lynx, helping to restore our world renowned nature and biodiversity. They were once native here before being driven to extinction. We're bringing their reintroduction to a vote in the Scottish Parliament. 🐈

The government is right to be worried about the potential impact of the EHRC's Code of Practice. Following our joint letter with over 650 businesses, many MPs have realised that this bathroom ban is unworkable. But we have to keep the pressure up. Act now 👇 www.transsolidarityalliance.com

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge this as a genocidal act, but the message is clear: the Trump regime doesn't want any new trans people, and will do everything it can to eliminate those of us that already exist

I’m not, and never have been, a Lib Dem, but there are good arguments made in Appendix B of this open letter from LGBT+ Lib Dems to the party leadership.

It's a shame, of course, that it must be like this But anything else is just Magical thinking Utopianism Communism Reckless Fantasy.

Not gonna quote dunk the AI guy everyone is quote dunking on, but I will say this: if* a tool is only useful if I "invest time to understand it", is it actually that useful? *Big if in this case.

This shit is going to kill trans people. Which is of course the point.

I missed this post yesterday. Ironically, I had what I thought was a uveitis flare – though it seems to have gone today – so maybe that was just my body celebrating in its own special way. 😉 (I have AS, and uveitis comes for free with that.)

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Yeah this sounds fine

Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are 🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally 🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face 🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose #r4today

Imagine the kind of nation we could build if we had all the powers of a normal, independent country.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Journalists need to stop looking for 'balance' and get back to informing the public. Make a judgement ffs. Help people understand, don't just throw bullshit at them and go 'work it out'. That is your job.

We do not need balance on the absolutely insane bullshit coming out of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic. Just say it’s bullshit

The government won't tell you that they are fascists, but they will tell you that anti-fascists are their enemies.

It would be nice if you corrected the obvious error, Zack. You’re not the leader of the ‘UK Greens’, there being no such party.

Images of “Donald Trump and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein” were projected on the walls of Windsor Castle earlier, according to the BBC’s royal correspondent. Why not “sex offenders Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein”?

The Online Autism Discourse was Different 9 Years Ago Part of why I struggled to accept the undeniable truth in front of me (that I am and always have been Autistic) was how non-autistic people...

Feel a bit bad after getting a complimentary ticket to the #StanfordNeurodiversitySummit, but really struggled yesterday with the general attitudes in a supposedly neurodiversity-informed conference. So have decided not to return today or tomorrow. Going to conserve my energy. #SNS25

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

this cat looks like one of the Old Master painters who's just slept with three servants, argued viciously with his annoying patron about the inferior ham he receives, and then painted his masterpiece out of spite

Now in #SNS25, I’m in a special interest group (not in the Autistic sense afaik): Neurodivergence and Late Diagnosis. Hopefully also covering late-realisation. And hopefully not limited to autism. Everything so far has been about autism or ADHD.
