If you want to REALLY find out about Autistic people and discover why autism may be isn't what you think it is, I would highly recommend signing up to @drmbothapsych.bsky.social 's FREE public lecture 24th Sept "This isn’t just a gap in understanding: it’s a crisis with real-world consequences"

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

Quick reminder that it's 100% fine to be autistic.

If we serious as a country about tackling violence against women and girls we would be tackling the causes of abuse by partners or former partners and not 100% focus on asylum seekers. According to 2011 census analysis, 96% of white British women have a white British partner.

Recognising Palestine is not a substitute for stopping the genocide. When I was in the West Bank, No Other Land’s Basil Adra told the devastating truth.

Please help Firas and Mithqal afford something to eat!

There is no legal or logistical reason why the government couldn’t open safe routes for Afghans, Syrians, Sudanese, or others fleeing war. They did exactly that with Ukrainians. It’s a deliberate policy not to.

Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis. Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a Labour Govenrment knows they don't care about people in poverty, don't care about nature nor for the planet. Just big business & their own interests. #Gatwick

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

No particular reason

Probably just racism if I'm being honest with you

The UK has recognised Palestine. It must now end its complicity in its destruction, and in the genocide of its people.

BREAKING: The governments of Canada, Australia and the UK have formally recognised the Palestinian state. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/lcqb2s

I am used to boys and men who act this way, bullies who want my attention. I was bullied my entire young life, at home and at school. www.esquire.com/lifestyle/a4...

pivoting to “he was actually SO good at getting shot. the best even!” is a hail mary if i’ve ever seen one

#MedievalSky don't forget to send in your proposals for #DigitalMedievalist sessions at #IMC2026! Thank you for the great abstracts already received! We'll be in touch in the coming days. #DigitalMedievalStudies #MedievalStudies #DigitalHumanities #DH #AI #LLM

In a single attack Israel murdered nearly three times as many journalists as were killed in the Charlie Hebdo massacre. This is a state terror attack. They have now killed nearly 250 journalists in two years. More than Putin has killed in 20 years. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

From my collection: All about Amsterdam, official 1945 guide for Canadian soldiers on leave. Full of tips about pub crawls, history, art, etc. Made by the Dutch for their liberators. Quite an interesting read, enjoy!

Yes!! FINALLY a politician debunking the household budget analogy AND making the obvious but never talked about point that investment in the NHS pays itself back many times over due to a healthier working population. More of this please @zackpolanski.bsky.social it's SUCH a breath of fresh air.

RESIST. EXIST. PERSIST.

Lots of people saying they’ve got bumper crops of apples and such atm. If you’ve too many and don’t know what to do with them, ask your local Foodbank or cooperative pantry if they could use them! Dad got 2kg to the Fishguard Foodbank earlier.

Also this belief that people who are AMAB somehow have “better” bodies for sports implies that all AFAB bodies are inherently lesser or less capable and not only is that not borne out by statistics, it is also a deeply regressive and anti-feminist belief

bsky.app/profile/nest... Can everyone PLEASE give our new support group for parents a share and a follow, even if this is not close to you someone who follows you could need to see us and need help or support. This is in NI. #bettertogether 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

No transphobes at Green Party conference, please sign and share

No. She did a profoundly damaging and wrong thing. In describing Charlie Kirk's views- which included wanting LGBTQ people dead - as a 'difference' or 'disagreement', McBride was normalising and validating his hatred of innocent people. That is never the right thing to do.

you know who isn't responsible for the roll back of trans rights? trans ppl. shocking i know. but clearly it needs to be said.

Don’t miss it and grab some of the last remaining online and in-person spots now for my public lecture at the end of my fellowship! 🎟️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/centre-for...

The time to listen to trans people was 10 years ago but, you know, you can start any time you're ready.

So it wouldn't have passed without the Dem vote? Yeah, primary every fucking one of these bastards. They're honouring a fiend who wanted to murder you.

Now is a great time to back up those “Trans Rights!” statements by hiring trans people so they have the ability to afford to live.

I WON'T COMPLY WITH THE EHRC LIE!!! PASS IT ON!!!

A plagiarism on both your houses!

If your resistance isn't accessible, it's not resistance.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

it was only in 2017 that the UK government retroactively pardoned gay men. it's colloquially called Alan Turing's law, being an expansion of a campaign to pardon Turing who was convicted and chemically castrated for homosexuality. the scope for abuse here is staggering and obvious.

Reskeet with your mental state

Why is the EHRC presenting it as though their updated transphobic code of practice has *already* been laid before parliament and the 40 day ‘negative procedure’ clock has been started? It hasn’t! Are the ‘gender critical’ transphobes in the EHRC getting impatient and trying to push it through? 🤔

I'm sorry, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable permission to my voice and likeness? For what now? In any manner for any purpose??? This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

I'm a psychiatric survivor of childhood sexual abuse and what I learned was how much bodily autonomy matters. I don't support chemical castration because 1. in my exp, medicating away behaviour rarely happens in a context of consistent, careful therapy and supervision.

Britain's chemical castration plan for sex offenders seems like the most obvious attempt to avoid doing anything about sex offending, while giving the govt an excuse to release large numbers of offenders despite the fact people can and do offend while chemically castrated.

They just claimed that saying "I have a right to exist" is a terrorist threat. People... wake the fuck up.
