His Dundee United season ticket is probably in the post.

Did any journalist ask them for evidence that there is over diagnosis?

That’s not what the appeal court said last week

This implications of this bullshit Hitler DNA project are absolute trash. You can't determine whether someone's gonna become a Nazi via DNA. The effort to explain things that way is itself the kind of thing Nazis would do.

I think I find this piece too measured and giving too much grace. But that says more about me than Katelyn. I find the way the UK media have decided Esther Ghey beyond criticism is interesting when compared with the treatment of other bereaved families over the years.

Feel free to correct me but weren’t ministers at Westminster also democratically elected?

They’ve been at the forefront of ‘Autism and ADHD are over diagnosed’ bs, especially ADHD. It’s now almost impossible to get an NHS diagnosis in Scotland, most health boards have closed waiting lists. The same is now happening in England.

Your new motto should be: if it’s fine for disabled people, it’s fine for me.

A remarkable choice of booking...

I’ll support this when I’m able to enter stadiums again and not excluded due to being disabled.

If you think this is a comprehensive list then what you’re saying is fuck Scotland, she can flout our laws, she can change our laws, she can publicly attack the First Minister, and her minions can harass NHS workers and rape crisis staff. You don’t give a fuck as long as it happens in Scotland.

Can predator win please?!

if you wondering how the NHS in Scotland is doing. I’m contemplating if it’s possible to break my tailbone so they’ll actually treat it as an acute issue. I’ve had an inflamed tailbone for about three years and the NHS treatment plan seems to be ‘go fuck yourself’.

the government doesn’t care

it’s the Scottish government it’s not like they’ll implement it.

“Set in the Scottish highlands” because nowhere else in Scotland exists.

Why would you throw someone in the sea, they might survive. And why the monarch, that wouldn’t change anything. But you do seem to be under the impression we don’t do angry mobs. That’s a dramatic reinterpretation of history

I used to think @journoresources.org.uk were great but they’re actually advising journalists how to use AI in their work for research etc. How are we supposed to trust journalists when they are using the plagiarising hallucination machine for research?

Robison is basically saying she wants people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to suffer benefit cuts. The hypocrisy of the SNP knows no bounds UK tax hike would have 'massive' impact on Scotland - Robison www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...

It was number one when I was born and I turn 50 in a few weeks.

🔨 "If large swathes of the public imagine asylum seekers to be dangerous, or politicians to be cynics on the take, it’s at least partly because newsrooms told them they should. Sometimes this is because of their own political agendas; just as often it’s because that’s how you generate web traffic."

21 - the tism is in effect!

What does he think the teuchtars are gonnae do that asylum seekers need to be in a secure loc… oh I see. For fucks sake.

This is why on its current path the UK has no future. Because if you live in Scotland or Wales the next election is next year. These elections decide the people who control our health, education, part of social security (in Scotland), and so much more.

This terrifies me. The SNP are vaguely fine on most centre left policies, but they’re not that great on disability and they’re awful on neurodivergence.

"For the government it’s quite mad to keep using X. It’s active participation in its own destruction and against its own interests. I cannot fathom the logic of doing it. It would be like a Reform government communicating entirely through the Guardian comments section." 👏 @samfr.bsky.social

Every poll for the past 12 years, basically shows either side between 45% and 55%. But both sides just keep banging on about how their way is the right way. Politicians with morals would be interested in finding a compromise. Scottish politicians are interested in increasing division.

So @moonshoterin.bsky.social thinks the UK should be isolated and urban areas destroyed I see most terfs are protected from destruction, but not trans people or their allies. Also, what did the Republican of Ireland do to merit three cities marked for destruction?

All I want is a book set in lowland Scotland, with a grown ass adult as the protagonist and that’s not a crime thriller. I would prefer historical fiction but I’m not sure that exists (that I haven’t already read). Any suggestions?

I’m reading a book about Mary Shelley when she was sent to live in Scotland and it’s driving me up the wall. So where she stayed in Dundee is literally where I grew up (my primary school was in the same street, I passed she would’ve stayed on the way to my grandparents).

Incredibly loud drumming and chanting from the Spartans tonight When asked they have always just said it's the community - which presumably we are not part of even though we live next to it. ( And yes I did move there but until three years ago there was no drumming at games)

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Diagnosis of medical conditions is a right. One denied more often than non-disabled people think.

A British writer wouldn’t use that either. It looks like a typo to me. (Murdoch’s Fleet Street team is still the absolute worst of journalism)

So the racist and homophobic slurs are censored but you’re comfortable not censoring the ableist slur. Is that because you think it’s okay to call someone that? Honestly I think that indicates you probably use that slur yourself.

American authors shouldn’t be able to publish books set in Scotland unless 20 Scottish people read their book and agree.

Feminists should hate Macbeth. Shakespeare took a real woman who did nothing wrong, stripped her of her name and made her a murderer. He also twisted the executions of real life Scottish into the witches, all to kiss the ass of his wildly misogynistic new boss.

I think it’s weird when retellings of Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Dorian Gray or Jekyll & Hyde make the main character a posh English person based in London.

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).

This guy when writing MacBeth

I just read the third news report in recent works of someone forced out of the workforce because they’ve lost Access to Work support

Sorry, Douglas Ross is more progressive on drug rehabilitation than the SNP or Greens??? Are we in the upside down??

I’m getting my universal credit stopped because I don’t have a driving licence or passport. I saw someone oppose the government’s digital id proposals because everyone has a passport or driving licence. NO THEY FUCKING DON’T YOU PRIVILEGED CUNT.

So the Scottish Social Attitudes Survey doesn’t ask a single question about disability. It asks about whether people feel Scottish or British but not a single question about disability. That’s why I call this country a shithole, because it tries to pretend we don’t exist

Look I hate Farage and he wrong about teachers. But so is Greg. When I think of school bullies it’s not other kids I think of, it’s teachers. Every neurodivergent person I know had a horrendous school experience because of awful teachers. But when it’s nd kids society finds that acceptable.

That headline is quite clear she is specifically targeting trans people in Scotland.

The reason people are targeting disabled people with prosthetics with the ‘clanker’ epithet on social media is because of ableism—not because of AI hate. Disabled people get slurs, targeted harassment, epileptics get flashing gifs sent to them; I think it’s interesting how some people suddenly care.

I swear to god I just got an email from a lingerie brand promoting how their product was used in Monster: The Ed Gein Story What the actual fuck is wrong with people?

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
