Image description: This poem is presented in the form an excel spreadsheet, with words in each cell. The line ‘Our cells shall merge themselves together’ is in a longer merged cell, and there are filter arrows on the line ‘Remove this filter from my heart’. Love Excels Let's spread ourselves on sheets of love, and turn our data into poetry. Our cells shall merge themselves together as you wrap your text around me. Our sum is greater than our parts, let's crunch our figures without compunction. Remove this filter from my heart, you give me form and function. We shall frolic among the formulae, pivot our tables now and often. I will total all your rows and you can add my column. Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘Love Excels’.

Text from a news article saying ""It comes after a friend said Wallace had "no filter" and claimed he may have autism himself. Wallace has never been tested for autism due to a feeling of responsibility that he passed it down to his son, the close therapist friend said. They said they believed it may have contributed towards his alleged inappropriateness on set."

People need to stop using being autistic as an excuse for being an arsehole. It just embeds misleading stereotypes.
Yes, being autistic can mean you find social interactions difficult, I know I can.
It doesn't mean you default to walking around with a sock on your c**k.

Wicked was brilliant, a wonderful adaption of the theatre show and book, cast and characterisation was on point and defying gravity gave me goosebumps as always. Cannot wait for part 2! 💚#wicked

Death doesn't scare me as much as being bedbound, unable to communicate my needs, relying on our failing health and social care system to care for me. I already have advance decisions in place, but chances are they won't be respected. #righttodie

If an autistic person asks for clarification, they are not:
- being aggressive
- being rude
- being obtuse
- trying to annoy you
- whatever ableist slur you are throwing at them

They are :
- asking for clarification

It's not about you, don't take it personally, just explain.

Is there anything better than sitting in a dark room, covered in blankets, playing on your games console, in silence, alone? (rhetorical question, ofc there isn't!) #actuallyautistic #autisticwomen #neurospicy #audhd #femaleadhd

People keep likening the current mood here to the 2008-10 stretch of Twitter, but it also reminds me of Twitter about two months into Covid when everyone had gone mad and was online almost twenty-four hours, and you'd see a post get 56k likes that just said 'I am sad but have a cat'.
