Surely this is the sort of thing you should be more certain of?

As an #autistic who is unsettled by change, I suppose I should take some consolation in the knowledge that studying the condition is consistently of interest to Nazis.

I'm so sad that I have to add my fellow #autistics to the list of people I specifically fear for under the orange nazi, but treating them as a thing to be cured doesn't bode well. At least I can be sure that my 3 years spent learning about the rise of Hitler weren't wasted.

h2g2 - Listen Carefully Listen Carefully, from h2g2, the Unconventional Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything

I wrote this for @h2g2postoffice.bsky.social about a friend and their experience of trying to get disability support while they were already in work. Pushing people with disabilities who can't work back onto the job market will make their lives a new nightmare h2g2.com/entry/A88073...

h2g2 - This Time Cheerier This Time Cheerier, from h2g2, the Unconventional Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything

It's easy to find the world right now incredibly depressing, so I wrote this piece about Keir Starmer's government being bullied by his own MPs in support of the disabled. For @h2g2postoffice.bsky.social

This isn't in novel thought, but crowds in general in the men's game have been well north of toxic for decades, fired with a sense of entitlement to say whatever they think. It really needs shutting down.

the "male gaze" is about the ways men depict women in art and culture to reinforce patriarchal power relations. it's nothing to do with what you find hot.

Hi Danny, my wife Raven had a theory about the shower groper- could they be a servant of some sort going through their habitual motions of trying to wash their master or mistress?

At the the risk of sounding like a misery, I needed 4 trains to do a 5 hr rounf trip, one was cancelled, two were late and I'm currently in London surrounded by football fans praying for the forth one to turn up on time.

If you're a person with a #Disability living in the #uk and you're afraid or angry because of #Rachelreeves #Welfarecuts, write to your MP and let them know. If for whatever reason you struggle with that, DM me and I'll write a letter or email for you #DisabledLivesMatter

I haven't seen Nanatte yet, I think I'm putting it off for fear it won't be as good as everyone says. Marj is terrific though, I'm really looking forward to being able to see O.

The extract from the draft Guideline that Honest Bob Jenrick’s government welcomed and praised as β€œimprov[ing] consistency around…sentences.” The draft list of β€œcohorts” for whom Pre-Sentence Reports should usually be ordered includes the category that HBJ now says is creating β€œtwo tier justice.”

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about β€œtwo-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of β€œtwo-tier Keir”.

The man is a fraud.

If you find it takes you a month to read a book now rather than a week cos your eyes are elsewhere, that’s 40 fewer books you’re buying or borrowing every year. If you’re binging YouTube, you’re getting through fewer TV series. Podcasts too. Our eyes and ears have been drawn to media that don’t pay.

An American comedian I've been enormously enjoying is Taylor Tomlinson. She's got 3 terrific shows on Netflix but I highly recommend the crowdwork videos on YouTube from her current tour, they're really positive, enjoyable and funny.

Another audiobook we've enjoyed recently is @emmasouthon.bsky.social's excellent A Fatal Thing Happened on the way to the Forum, a book about murder in ancient Rome which us both funny and fascinating with an engagingly informal and sweary style that fans of Natalie Haynes will enjoy.
