PSA…

Stimming and a preference for routine are NOT problematic behaviours

They’re natural, valid ways that many neurodivergent people regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and navigate a world that often feels overwhelming

#AutismAwareness

Not only that but it turns out even that wasn't true. They basically ARE the tories

"And anyway that's how I got these cool superpowers"...*swoops down on picnic and steals cake*

Average age 54 - so brave

Years of masking taught me how to blend in, but it came at a cost burnout, shutdowns, and losing sight of who I actually am. Dropping the mask is hard. Learning you’re not broken… that’s harder still.

The world no longer makes sense, fuckwits are in charge of everything and the internet is even further on with its mission to ruin people’s brains forever. As an ameliorating factor, though, there are far more butterflies around this year than there have been for a while.

Yes! It's awful - totally saccharine and not even well written

I'm so sorry. Sending you hugs

Absolutely crashed today and cannot keep my eyes open today. It's been in the post for while I know.

Welcome to your 50s.
Your body isn’t tired, it’s just settling decades of unpaid sleep debt.

The self-awareness of David Lammy

Because the BBC only have time to here from Farage

Hey, BBC, this guy looks interesting. If you can find some time in the schedule between Farages appearances, maybe look into whether he is leader of a political party? Could be they even have a few MPs?

A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

Oh have a fab time - I hope the weather is kind

Oh, so jealous (yes i KNOW i'm just back from holiday). Whereabouts?

Also presumably when they lose their visas and leave, there will be a shortage again. And less people prepared to fill that shortage.

One year into a Labour govt with a massive majority and the very best they have is "we're not Nigel Farage" - and not even that is true

Have a marvellous time. Where are you off to?

But we have to be "pragmatic" (throws some more minorities on the fire). "you can't do anything if you aren't in power" (uses power to actively make things worse)

And who needs a right to protest, when we can still shit post on here. Apparently they are going to build some houses so totally worth losing freedom of speech

You radical you! We all know Starmer is just a misunderstood genius who is quietly making everything better for everyone

I mean so what if we have to sacrifice a few vulnerable groups for some slightly shorter NHS waiting lists in some areas? Totally worth it I tell you!

I'm so jealous - teach me your ways oh wise one!

Things he is getting done:
- inciting hate and violence against immigrants
- removing health care and basic human rights from trans people
- taking away benefits from disabled people (altho he hasn't quite got this one "done" yet)
- further reducing right to protest
- Genocide (more assisting here)

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

Whilst the police in London arrest blind pensioners in Wheelchairs for being anti-genocide, in Portsmouth the leader of UKIP makes a nazi salute at an anti migrant demo and the police do nothing. Welcome to Britain 2025.

I feel much safer this morning, knowing that all those sign-wielding Quakers and nuns are behind bars where they belong.
