Just wrapped up delivering our third workshop with Virgin Media O2 this year 🚀 A huge thank you to the wonderful team Excited to keep building on the momentum together, because Health, Healing & Joy Matter! We ended our session by watching Antoine Hunter, My Disability Justice | The Dancer ! 🌿

“When I am ready, I speak by dancing or writing. It’s easier than speaking.” This statement isn’t about what’s missing. It’s about what’s present, movement, silence, dance, writing. All of it matters.

One Black man hanging from a tree in Mississippi is a shame. Two is a pattern.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

This article shows that autistic employees are "more likely to take action when they witness an operational inefficiency or an ethical problem in the organization," thus explaining why we keep getting fired from our jobs. www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...

This was such a wonderful project to be a part of, thinking and writing with colleagues in the university and in practice.

@abihackett.bsky.social, Christina MacRae, Maggie MacLure and I have a new article out open access in Journal of Early Childhood Literacies, sharing data from a collaboration with the Humber Museums Partnership.

So proud to have contributed!

in analysing 563 behaviour policies from the 34 largest multi-academy trusts in England, i show how 'misbehaviour' is associated with a constellation of linguistic features - these are of course not empirically connected, but ideologically connected.

This bird with a gotdamn jheri curl been killing me since yesterday.

'“The humanities are where people learn to think critically, to analyse systems, to question authority,” @desfitzgerald.bsky.social says. “What happens if that disappears? What happens if you can simulate critical thinking without actually engaging in it?”'

Off to #AEC2025 in Dublin. Looking fwd to meeting old friends & new. You can find me at the these events: ✴️ Thurs 3:30-4.30 Symposium on Fostering Neuroinclusivity in Schools ✴️ Fri 12.30-1.30 Everyday experiences of autistic children in mainstream schools #AutismEuropeCongress2025 #AutismEurope

Watching RFK reminded me of @profkori.bsky.social: "Because American culture has never encouraged white people to hold themselves & each other to higher standards, merit is manufactured for them all & innocence is manufactured for white people who don’t even have the decency to be mediocre"

And with thanks to @lotierneyart.bsky.social for the beautiful front cover and illustrations

If only Black cops understood that these institutions will never love them back

"These divergences highlight the need to distinguish between the formal, general norms adopted by funding agencies and the unwritten, situated norms that review committees rely on to evaluate and rank applications within their respective fields." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Essential 🧵with action below from the brilliant @anjalifp.bsky.social. Home care is so hard for folks who are disabled or are supporting aging parents already. Don't let the admin make this harder for the people who need care AND for the people who do the work. See thread for action: public comment!

I actually find it amusing these RACIST's blame immigrants for low pay, poor housing, lack of services, while the real culprits are the same aristocratic families that exploited their ancestors and still hoard the nation’s wealth today... 🤣

Black Autistics is now on Instagram! This will be a place for sharing audio/visual content on Black autistic lived experiences, reflections on neuro-racial affirming theory, policy and practice as well as updates on our research publications. Instagram.com/blackautistics

UK can't afford to help old people with winter heating but wants to subsidise failing LLM industry just at the point everyone has started to realise their product is basically crap www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

BBC: “Long Covid patients gaslit by GPs, study finds” “Dr. Sazana Jayadeva, a research fellow at the university, said a "shift was needed in medical culture" following the findings” www.bbc.com/news/article...

The increasingly far right seem to have infiltrated pretty much everything now - even a political party led by a former human rights lawyer who used to let refugees sleep on his couch makes “a country of strangers” speeches - racism and hatred emboldened every day

Using somebody’s preferred name and the pronouns they ask you to use when referring to them is not harming you. If your religious beliefs prevent you from offering people basic respect, your religion is pretty shitty. apple.news/Af4WHUnFDRQu...

Let’s not let the GOP frame the discussion of homelessness. The most effective way to end homelessness is not to criminalize it but rather to provide economic support to people that help them to be able to afford stable housing.

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.

Thank you for this resource! Sharing my AI syllabus statement for those who are trying to encourage students to think critically AND for educators who don't want to police students. It has a few links that may be useful in addition to the original post. Please cite! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

‘We starved the kids but they only looked so terrible because they were sick and we cut off all the medical aid and bombed all the hospitals and killed all the doctors but failed to shoot the kids when they were healthier’ is not the flex they think it is

This 🧵 from @heymrsbond.com is giving me life. To become demoralized is so reasonable. And to find joy in the kids & colleagues is why some come back. Will never blame the teachers that leave or are forced out and still so grateful for the educators that stay and fight because they love our babies.

These mofos said the same thing about Roe v. Wade and yet here we are. The gaslighting continues.

Jim Cummins has argued raciolinguistic ideologies have no basis in reality. Yet, how much do you wanna bet this “civility test” disproportionately labels applicants of color as uncivil? But I guess he might argue it is because they failed to master “academic language” and we must teach it to them.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court affirmed that Louisiana's state legislative districts dilute the power of Black voters and must be redrawn.

last month 15 amazing teachers came to manchester for a 2-day summer school on linguistic justice. it was taught by me and april baker-bell. here we are doing our summaries at the end of day 2. we're organising a summer school in detroit next year, and manchester again soon. 💜

So much of this is also relevant to UK schools. Thanks for sharing.

Hybrid & remote working arrangements benefit disabled workers, including allowing them to better manage their health. Many disabled individuals do not have the option to work in person, there is simply no alternative. Companies clawing back these accommodations is cruel & often unjustified.

This is barbarism.

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street. This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history. No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.
