I wish people would stop saying we are LITERAL. OK, a few of us are, just as a few NTs are. But most of us are not literal, but ๐ผ๐โ๐๐โ๐๐: We say (only) what we mean; we mean (nly) what we say. No implication, nothing 'between the lines'. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ #AuDHD #ADHD #AuDHD #neurodivergence

This event poses a deep safeguarding question to the Universityโs duty of care to its Black students. Free speech does not come at the expense of a personโs humanity. Weโve seen it become politicised and applied selectively, so that some interests are served while othersโ pain and rights are not.

2) By approving #Jackdaw gas field, the UK Government signalled to the global investor community that it's 'business as usual': go ahead and invest in new oil & gas exploration and development. By approving #Rosebank the UK reinforces its signal to "drill, baby, drill". Result? More climate change.

"Who is it that has been radicalised, here?"
โIsrael is a very racist country, its government routinely commits horrific crimesโ was a humdrum opinion, fifteen years ago: never uncontroversial, but well within mainstream though. Now, our whole political/media class believes it is insanely extreme. Who is it that has been radicalised, here?

"... #Reform is indeed a seething mass of #racism, #misogyny and #bigotry." ๐๐ฉ
So, Farage has reported ITV to the police following the work their undercover journalists did which confirmed that Reform is indeed a seething mass of racism, misogyny and bigotry. Meanwhile, hereโs some commentary from Private Eye and their handy guide to undercover journalists.

I am writing about the history of autism as a diagnosis, & while a lot of autistic people have heard that Simon Baron-Cohen's theories around Extreme Male Brain & impaired Theory of Mind were flawed, very few know *why* they're flawed, beyond their being on the face of it, silly & reductive.

The Energy Secretary says North Sea drilling โwonโt take a penny off energy bills.โ The Health Secretary says summer heatwaves put pressure on the NHS. So whereโs the Governmentโs impact assessment? If they donโt have one, they should delay the decision on drilling for oil & gas until they do.
