Thank you!

The article below is about US politics. But those of us in the #UK watching a #Labour government behave in the same way may want to take note of what @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is saying. I wholeheartedly agree. #Politics

Also it's ~wild~ to see a topic you've written a whole book on, have cited mostly women and PoC authors, and yet a whole multi-thousand newsletter post only cites ... other substack bros.

Not sure there’s anything scarier than the idea of a military with an effectively limitless budget that is no longer bound by the law.

Bodleian Visiting Fellowships in Special Collections

Bodleian Library, Sassoon Visiting Fellowship in South Asian and Black History for the 2026-2027 academic year.

It's a great scheme, with a deadline of 28 November 2025. Check it and Bodley's other visiting fellowships out here.

This everyday. The founding purpose of Facebook continues. The energy was and still is rotten. It’s ugly to the core.

This time is unique but this situation for the African diaspora is same as it ever was.

We. Get. Tired! Recovering From Situational Autistic Burnout — THINKING PERSON'S GUIDE TO AUTISM Parents need to know that autistic kids get TIRED. We autistics need rest, more frequently and in greater durations than non-autistic people.

How can autistic people recover from short-turn autistic burnout? @mx-joyner.bsky.social has very specific, tried-and-true strategies that might help you or your autistic loved one, at TPGA (and yes this includes kids and adults with high support needs).

May luck find you working.

My dad used to say this, so I have it on a post it note in my office.

"May luck find you working."

I get the sense that lurking just beneath the surface of all these AI boosters is a seething resentment of anyone who does anything creative

Telling people who are against plundering the environment, theft, plagiarism and labor exploitation that they are doing this complaining because they haven't "invested" in using tools based on such exploitation is quite ridiculous isn't it?

Did they just invent telephone party lines.

Pretty sure that it’s going to worse before it gets better.

allistics: if you can talk to a person who is

-on the phone
-wearing sunglasses
-in another room
-sitting behind you when you're driving
-in a dressing room
-in a bathroom stall
-in a darkened theater
-texting or scrolling
-blind

then you know eyeball contact is NOT essential for communication!

A Black child’s meltdown is seen as aggression 😕
A white child’s meltdown is seen as a cry for help 🙂‍↔️
This double standard costs lives, opportunities, and dignity.
Listen to Black autistic voices.
Believe our experiences ♾️

Urgh that’s long! I loved it.

Oh my. She goes there! This was needed. I have watched the change in real time and it has been ugly. Sharing with EVERYONE.

Christmas shop now open- get ahead and spread the cost

No.

Hard no too. Gets earlier every year? Or maybe I’m just old and the years feel shorter.

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!!

Just the one!!

History repeats.

Something I noticed is that people either want to ‘fix’ ‘Pity’ or overlook autistic people entirely

Legal Services for Detained Immigrants - National Immigrant Justice Center The Detention Project provides legal orientation and representation to immigrant adults who are held by the Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement in immigration detention...

It finally happened. Someone I know personally was detained by ICE while showing up for their schedules TPS check-in. Found myself scrambling to find a legal resource for their family. Luckily I was able to find one here in Chicago. Donate to them if you can.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
