Tout ce que vous voyez avec vos lunettes Meta sont matés par des ouvriers outsourcés pour "améliorer" l'IA de Zuckerberg.
Cela peut donc aller de vous en train de se branler à vos comptes bancaires visionnés et sûrement enregistrés puis partagés à travers le monde

What we really need is a change in the publication/credit system.
There are too many papers, fewer reviewers (with increasingly few remaining, biasing review), overworked editors, and journals holding up an artificial gatekeeper bottleneck and charging money for it. This is not about "quality".

(En tout cas ne pas lutter ne paie pas)
Mais prendre ça en compte, c'est aller même au delà de la logique "inclusion/accessibilité/handi-friendly/neurodivers", c'est renverser entièrement certains pans de la société. Et ça, c'est purement politique.

La focalisation sur les besoins, pourquoi c'est touchy ?
Parce que les recherches épidémio de cohortes nationales ont montré qu'à l'échelle d'une vie, TOUT LE MONDE était concerné au - une fois par un diag du DSM.
Le narratif "ça arrive à x% de la pop" c'est uniquement utile pour discriminer.
this is why I got into Black feminist theory. the research on sexual violence was VERY white when I first started researching like 15-20 years ago. in the West, gender is VERY racialized

Text reading “a lil manifesto about taking care of yourself and others- with over 50 citations! By Gillian Levine.”
This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine extends playful the Long COVID fest concept and depicts a hand holding a sheet from a music festival with facts about Long COVID facts and prevention, stating that everyone is vulnerable and that there is no cure, among other facts.
This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine shows ways to prevent COVID-19 and Long COVID, focusing on the importance of masking.
This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine playfully gives reasons of why to wear a mask using a Monopoly board. Each square represents a different reason to mask, from protecting yourself and others to protecting yourself from other airborne virus. Dice and game board pieces are scattered around.
Artist Gillian Levine recently wrote and illustrated a comic sharing reasons to continue masking in 2026. She kindly gave us permission to republish it.

WSJ Tech headline that reads Gemini Said They Could Only Be Together if He Killed Himself. Soon, He Was Dead. A new lawsuit alleges Google's chatbot sent a Florida man on missions to find an android body it could inhabit. When that failed, it set a suicide countdown clock for him.
But your honor, if we're not allowed to drain the world's oceans and use up all available digital storage, how will we be able to continue to make Delusion Suicide Bot, the bot that drives you to delusions and then suicide?

C'est pour ça que le réductionnisme me fatigue, surtout dans une période où l'on commence enfin à pouvoir mettre des mots sur la complexité des situations au lieu de juste trois mots de vocabulaire technique pour un diag en CRA.

Ensuite, c'est une dyade/triade de symptômes, pas ''un symptôme''.
Enfin, la plupart des propos tenus sont au minimum des situations ''de votre point de vue'' qui ne reflètent pas la réalité épidémiologique de l'éducation des enfants et adultes autistes.
Mais bon, qu'est-ce que j'y connais...
''niveau de démagogie stratosphérique''.
Non ce sont des objectifs donnés par certaines instances internationales et des collectifs internationaux.
Après, quand école/collège/lycée galèrent déjà quand un élève a une jambe dans le plâtre, en effet on ne va pas y arriver de toute manière.

There's a discussion on my TL about whether you'd expect studies from the 90s to replicate in the 20s given that the situational context has changed, and it feels like everyone involved is *so* close to getting it but the hegemony of experimental methods in US social psych is proving a mental block.

Wish I was joking.

I was just saying to someone else about authority figures trying to remain relevant when their thinking becomes obsolete.
They don't like losing their position of power AT ALL, so they will try to discredit the people who threaten it.
Uta Frith did her best work 30+ years ago - most of it before autism researchers started realising they needed to listen to what autistic people were saying about our own experiences.
I wish she'd caught up.
