It's quite simple. Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did). Because they are stealing all the money. This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.

Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to help anyone else financially at the moment - I wish I had. I hope others will.

Several states have adopted shield laws to protect providers of gender affirming care, including from out-of-state actors who want to punish them for treating ban-state residents. Some states cover repro but not GAC. Know your state’s law & advocate for your state leaders to strengthen protections

There's still time to sign up.

Now recruiting for the first workshop for our @edicaucus.bsky.social funded project on neurodivergent archive accessibility!

Does anyone know of any neurodivergent arts organisations around that cover Northern England, including the south bank of the Humber?

Mahmoud Kilani, a young Palestinian boy, was killed alongside his mother and several relatives in an Israeli airstrike that struck their home in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, last night.

If we get rid of immigrants your Energy bill won't come down, or your Water bill, or your Rent, or your Mortgage, or your Food bill, nor will your wages go up, or your benefits. But if we get rid of, or at least tax billionaires they all will.

Do I know anyone who is an academic in the humanities and went to a mainstream British state school? How do you think it has shaped your experiences?

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

"How much longer will the world watch this genocidal violence in silence? There seems to be no end to the barbarity and crimes...May the souls of those who died in Tal as-Sultan rest in peace and may the political leaders of the Western world rest in shame." 💔 #GazaGenocide #IsraelWarCrimes

What can a synthesis of neurodiversity theory and care ethics offer to research on language, communication, and culture? I am interested in how neurodivergent experiences challenge normative assumptions about relationality, communication, and value. 🧵

From “moral deficiency” to “economic inactivity,” welfare reform rebrands eugenic thinking. Disability reframed as failure of character, sanctions replacing sterilisation. The fit are rewarded, the rest made disposable. #DisabilityJustice #WelfareReform

In under 24 hours, Israel has massacred over 400 people in Gaza — including 174 children. Words of condemnation ring hollow. The UK government must end ALL arms sales, trade & diplomatic ties with a state facing genocide charges at the ICJ & leaders under ICC arrest warrants.

If anything, the UK’s mental health crisis is one of UNDERdiagnosis not OVERdiagnosis. 📉APMS study found: Less than half of those with severe distress get treatment. Only a third needing primary care support have a diagnosis. The real issue is not overdiagnosis but undercare.

A report by the United Nations has called on the UK government to take “corrective measures” to address the impact of cuts to disability benefits introduced under Conservative governments, just as Labour ministers prepare to introduce further such cuts.

Just a reminder that disabled folk and organisations have incredible form for beating the DWP in court when they break our human rights:

Recent data shows nearly one in five people on disability benefits in the UK have turned to food banks, highlighting the financial strain on disabled individuals especially those with conditions that limit our ability to work. To not only freeze but reduce income is beyond cruel.
