Some special ed teachers' brains are really busted from having stewed in a system of compliance and (white lady) saviorism for so long. Just saw one woman talking about how she was going to make her own (disabled) child earn lunch. Like, no ma'am you are not doing a "good job"; go feed your child.

“Money [is] a capacious tool for mobilizing everyone’s capacities to meet our needs and build a desirable future. DPF redefines politics as the process of coordinating our abundant human and material resources within ecological limits, rather than as a competition for scarce funds.”

Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter Clifford “Buzz” Grambo patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe—and make federal agents uncomfortable.

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.”

Solidarity with @sheffielducu.bsky.social with their strike action beginning today. We need to defend HE against the onslaught of cuts and redundancies that threaten the ability to do creative, radical and important research!

Does antifa offer tenure?

Embarrassingly dipping my toe into Freud for the first time. Deleuze’s criticism should have just ended with ‘he’s quite bad at writing’, or is something lost in translation?

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

It feels very good to have completed my MA in Critical Autism Studies at Edge Hill. A wonderful and transformational experience.

Strongly agree

Was good to see Jeremy Corbyn congratulating him. It will be interesting to see how they work together.

Little known fact: I earned my PhD in Critical Theory from the DNC

Was reminded of Bentham’s argument that fear of crime can be a worse harm than crime itself. Everyone can be affected by fear of crime but relatively few people experience serious crime. And fear of crime can easily be manipulated for nefarious purposes.

Finished my time in the classroom for now, taking a break and very excited to start my PhD in September at Sheffield. All things neuroqueering, supervised by @davidbenshannon.bsky.social

It’s a dark dark day for the UK. Love, rage and solidarity to all of my trans siblings.

Absolutely delighted to have been offered a White Rose Doctoral Studentship to study a PhD at University of Sheffield. Can’t wait to be pushing that (neuro)queer agenda; cultural Marxism in action.

UK People who have had PhDs funded would love your advice.

I’ve applied for the studentship, but don’t hear back until April. Has anyone managed to secure alternative funding if unsuccessful that late in the game?

Project is on critical autism studies and education. Anywhere specific I can look?

Maybe we could just use ‘wrong’un’

Snip from that link, showing Ambitious About Autism trains their people on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).

Ah. ABA* organisation, Ambitious About Autism, has dropped Gregg Wallace as an Ambassador after the recent allegations.

*Yes, they often refer to it as PBS not ABA, but they still hire ABA teams to do ABA techniques on autistic children. It's ABA.

BEGGING the general public to listen to disabled people when it comes to assisted suicide. The point is - drs enact eugenics every single day - were not IN a post-eugenic world.

The ending of Girl, Interrupted sees the main character reject psychiatry—and specifically Borderline Personality Disorder—for its inherent sexism.

On #BPD, she writes: “To quote my post-Melvin psychiatrist: ‘It’s what they call people whose lifestyles bother them.’”

‘Many of the complaints put forward by the parent group relate to children with special educational needs. One mother said her “conscientious” daughter was “terrified” at the academy’.

‘five accounts of secondary-age pupils with no prior incontinence issues soiling themselves, or menstruating through their uniforms, because they were not allowed to go to the toilet or were too scared to ask’.
