The killing of one Trump supporter marks a dark day in the history of the US, but multiple school shootings do not?

As the daughter of refugees from Hitler I found driving through England terrifying today. English flags flying from lamp-posts, cars, houses, everywhere. Talk about inter-generational trauma. I felt properly unsafe and unwelcome. They'd not notice me because I look and sound right, but my parents?

I discovered this today - an academic told me. I was shocked.

It would be lovely to have the picture somewhere - I did a screenshot but it's not very clear.

I can't say I agree. I much prefer Kelso. And as a place to live, give me Selkirk anytime.

I forget if I already posted this, but there is now a website / directory of #actuallyautistic counsellors and psychotherapists. www.autistictherapistdirectory.com

Not much, but I could tell you loads about Hawick in the Borders...

When will it be shown in the UK?

It's no good, you know. Once you've read / seen The Frogs, you can't forget ληκύθιον ἀπώλεσεν even if you are trying to be serious.

Apparently my face is not recognisable as a real face. So says the AI that's supposed to verify that I'm an adult. Well, I have been wearing it for nearly seventy years and I am pretty sure I am real.

"Madness is an affliction which in war carries with it the advantage of surprise". Churchill said that in 1941 and although the US is not, strictly speaking, at war, I think we can all see the truth of that.

ooh! I might even be able to go for the first time this year!

I am reminded of an old Jewish joke. Like most Jewish jokes, it is amusing but also tragic.
In the trenches. Suddenly Moshe Cohen stands up and yells: "Are you meshugge to shoot like this? There are PEOPLE here!"

They are spoilt children. I wonder if they know that people find them ridiculous and embarrassing.

Welcome to the community of absolutely not freaks but normal logical intelligent empathic human beings who don't waste time or energy on stupidities because Society Says So.

Godawful doesn't touch it. Even the questions which aren't directly insulting are stupid. A play or a museum? Which play? Which museum? A library or a party? Which library? Which party? And how tired am I? And....!!!!

(and in case anyone doesn't already know this and calls me an antisemite, I am a Jew)

Can someone tell me how it is not genocide to shoot at civilians (whom you starved) trying to get food? Can someone tell me how it is not genocide to bomb hospitals and schools? Can someone tell me how it is not genocide to kill children? It is genocide and Israel is replicating the Holocaust.

Agreed. And that is where the problem begins.

Such a relief to see this posted. I have been saying this ever since the decision and been called all sorts. I will be sharing this to all the people who have called me a terf (etc etc) for saying no, please actually READ the decision and you will find it does not say what you are saying it says.

Can you expand a bit? Films? Telly?

I'm sorry, but not surprised, at the wait. That is why most adults without "obvious" (ha!) co-occurring conditions don't even try to go the NHS route. We collect our pennies, maybe over years, and go private.

Acknowledging that we need support makes us reflective human beings. We need community, to give and to receive support. As Naoki Higashida says, "this is being human".

That's how I feel too. Thank you for expressing it.

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Here's another which has clearly had more publicity. Just sign both. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Sign the Petition Keep Trump out of Parliament

I know petitions are pointless, but still - sign this one. actionstorm.org/petitions/du...

Had you thought of the floor? I was not designed chair-shaped and always choose the floor when I can. Alternatively, a cuddle chair? Not sure whether a chair has a neurotype or a sexuality, though.

Signed, thank you.

Actually...yes. I wish I could hide in my hair like you.

John Swinney did call it ethnic cleansing.
