I'll be talking as part of this next Thursday! If you'd like a more methods-focused insight into my ethnographic research with autistic people with high support needs, do come along. The fantastic Lรฉon van Ommen and Freddie Jones will also be presenting.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.
