Our paper (first one in a journal as first author for me) is now out. 🙂

sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
(open access)

Thanks again to our incredible participants for all what they shared with us, which made writing this a very intense experience and at the same time facilitated it very much.
Screenshot of the details of the article linked: "More than noise: Lived experiences of autistic people in real-life acoustic environments" Highlights: -Qualitative study based on the thematic analysis of interviews with 12 autistic adults living in the United Kingdom. -There is a lack of understanding and acceptance towards autistic people and what they experience in relation to noise. -The negative impact is experienced on a personal, social, educative and professional level since childhood. -High sensitivity to sound can also lead to great pleasure of music and nature sounds. -There is a need to increase auditory accessibility, as many daily life environments present important aural barriers.

En mi época escolar los coles no eran mixtos, teníamos canchas de cemento, una pista de patinaje y un bosque. Las niñas jugábamos con pelotas en todo los sitios en que se podía, a futbol no, pero a matar, a pichi y a voleibol todo el rato. No es q nos guste vivir en los márgenes, nos empujan a ellos

Para el carnaval de este año, Zahara de la Sierra en Cádiz se ha disfrazado de Asturias.
Vista de Zahara y el pantano desde El Gastor, con el pantano mucho más lleno que meses atrás y las colinas y zona de cultivo muy verdes.

También tenemos que dejar de llamar fútbol a lo que hacen los niñOs abusones en el patio, que básicamente consiste en usar un recurso tan mínimo como es un balón para joderle la vida a la mayor cantidad de gente posible a través de pelotazos en cabezas ajenas, golpes en ventanas, insultos, etc.

Vivo en la sierra de Cádiz/Grazalema y acabo de recibir una alerta de protección civil. Suena menos fuerte de lo que me esperaba, pero aun así lo primero que quieres hacer es darle para que se apague como al despertador.

El botón que hay es "Aceptar" y hace que se vaya también el mensaje. 🙃

Why limit to empirical effects and not in principle rejecting? We reject things as inappropriate (or worse) based on how they are a conflict of interest — ed tech by fascist companies. No data affect such a judgement once made. Common sense for conflicts of interest, not creation of new databases.

Triggered by claims the "AI in education debate" is caught in a deadlock and by some academics worried that "AI critics: are over-anxious about *possible* rather than empirically documented effects, here are what I think are some worthwhile critical projects about AI in education 🧵

Hoy he anotado un número mal, invirtiendo algunos dígitos, y en vez de decir "soy disléxica" he dicho "soy distópica".

En mi defensa diré que, antes que disléxica o distópica, soy imbécil.

Erm, no. We already knew that. It is a hyped black box built on plagiarised content + labour exploitation. The arrogance & lack of reflection 🙄

“The age of Gen AI is ‘the age of no consent.’ Unsurprisingly, women are less keen on GenAI than men, & a lot of that has to do with how it is used to harm them. Funny how women tried to warn us about this years ago….” 🙏🏼

Indeed, Silicon Valley runs on lack of consent!

medium.com/@nturkewitz_...
If you will forgive me this general observation, the internet and present societal norms and expectations concerning internet conduct are built on a very male model in which consent is assumed. It is the default of the internet, and objections to it are exceedingly hard to enforce. Securing permission creates friction. It’s messy and non-linear. Inefficient and non-binary. If achieving maximum efficiency is an engineer’s objective, he will see permission as an obstacle to be circumvented. If you don’t want to be rejected, you don’t ask the question. If you are male, white and straight, gains in efficiency will likely override any concerns about the role of consent. But someone who is a part of a community in which consent has historically been undermined, undervalued or eliminated might employ a different balancing test. In short, women and people of color have a unique relationship to the exercise of free will as manifested through the ability to determine consent. And the “maleness” of the internet once again marginalizes them and exposes them to extreme risk. So this World IP Day, let’s celebrate the women that are fighting back. Fighting to safeguard privacy. Fighting to address revenge porn and sex trafficking. Fighting to ensure that a creator has the ability to determine how her original work is going to be used. These are all reflections of the same underlying challenge — how do we ensure the role of consent in a technological environment that celebrates “breaking things” in pursuit of “permission-less innovation?”

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang doesn't want "well-respected people" like PhDs and CEOs to criticize AI, especially in front of governments. He labeled concerns about the AI technology a "doomer narrative": https://80.lv/articles/nvidia-ceo-doesn-t-want-well-respected-people-to-criticize-ai The screenshot includes a color photo of Jensen Huang wearing his typical leather jacket. He is an Asian man, with glasses and silver hair. His overall affect is smug.

"...something I’ve experienced and heard repeatedly, in how autistics and ADHDers describe their days—not as being bombarded by sensation, but as feeling worn down by the effort of constantly staying oriented." wow, can relate

Why Sensory Overload Isn’t About “Too Much”: Often, it’s about how much interpretive work the brain is being asked to do as it constantly combines sensory information to figure out what’s happening, and whether it matters. By @neuroscientist.bsky.social:

Why Sensory Overload Isn’t About “Too Much”
Sensory overload is often about uncertainty and how long the brain has to stay engaged—especially in autism and ADHD.

How to get into nature.
A four-panel comic titled "how to get into nature". In panel 1, a person kneels in the woods, looking down at a red-backed salamander, and the text says "notice a living thing." In panel 2, the text says "notice some other things that live near it," and there's a starflower, springtail, ant, little wood satyr butterfly, and salamander on the leaf litter. In panel 3, covered in creatures, plants, and a colorful starburst, the text says "Notice the connections between them, discover the wider ecosystem, learn about its histories, and find yourself following links from bedrock to stratosphere, between biotic and abiotic, at scales both microbial and massive, until you’re hopelessly overwhelmed by the wonder of it all." In panel 4, the text says "Fall into a daze and let moss engulf you." The person from the first panel is still kneeling in the woods, looking happy as moss slowly engulfs them, and they're saying "This is for the best."

It's good to hear that the English government is investing in SEND training for teachers, but it matters enormously *what* they're being taught, and *who by*... and have they considered ensuring that kids learn about this stuff, too?

Here's one of my talks about this stuff:

La brecha de renta entre caseros e inquilinos es brutal.

El mercado del alquiler está destrozando nuestra sociedad: redistribuye renta de quienes menos tienen hacia quienes más riqueza concentran, cada vez en mayor medida.

El alquiler es una fábrica de desigualdad.

Hi, I need help with how to reply to the organisers of an academic symposium on "Neurodiversity in the workplace" why is important to invite neurodivergent speakers (there's none).

Not joking, and I really need help because the irony breaks my brain and everything I say backfires. Thank you. 🙏

Non-consensual image creation / "deep-fake porn" has been a problem for a while that the legal system has only just begun to grapple with but part of what makes the Grok thing much worse is that it's delivered instantly & directly into replies to punish women for publicly speaking or even existing.
drewharwell.com Drew Harwell @drewharwell.com · Jan 7
X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

El derecho internacional nunca existió. Estamos atrapados en una aula llena de abusones, la profesora se ha ido y nos ha dejado solos, lo único que puedes hacer es tratar de evitar el contacto visual con el matón más cercano a tu pupitre y rezar para que la tomen con otro niño que no seas tú.
