Whatever You Do, Don’t Make Them Uncomfortable
How one chant broke the illusion of free speech - and revealed how fragile Britain’s moral panic machine really is.

#Deaf folks in the US, are any of you interested in having a group chat on Signal just in case things go awry with the Trump regime? Communications is extremely important during this time. If you’re interested, ping me.

Sigh. Of course nothing will change after this. Not with USA’s current administration.
🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.
He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords
Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

The only way for USA to take Canada as its 51st state is to invade/go to war against Canada. That's all it is.
Trump announces more tariffs on Canada and says, "The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State."

Love this. 🤣
I don't generally go out into the public timeline and fuck with people unless I'm certain they'd be into it.
But when they show up in my replies, they get what they're askin' for.
Most notoriously, that time a magazine editor ended up on the back cover of my book being a jackass.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Vice President-Elect Trump's fragile ego wouldn’t tolerate this for long. It’s not going to be long before he start taking it out on President-Elect Musk. Popcorn at the ready.
CNN confirmed on-air just now that top Trump aides are furiously calling journalists to insist that Elon Musk has been following the orders of Trump rather than the other way around. As predicted, Trump is horrified and enraged at the idea that Musk is now seen as the President of the United States.

Been described to me that "woke" means anything that they don't like.
On that account, I'm going to say The Tories/Reform etc are all woke.

Good article from parents deciding about cochlear implant for their young child. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...
The cochlear question: as the parent of a deaf baby, should I give her an implant to help her hear?
The long read: Cochlear implantation is controversial in ways that parallel medical situations – such as artificial limbs and cornea transplants – are not. Why does this issue provoke such fierce deba...

I am delighted when people block me. It means they've decided that their Bluesky experience will be better without me in it, and availed themselves of the tools at their disposal to rid themselves of my pernicious self. Good for them! I celebrate their actions! Everyone deserves their best Bluesky.

I see some fantastic starter packs in topics that I'm interested in but at present they all only offer "follow all" option. What I would love is for a "Add to List" option, I use lists based on interest etc. #featurerequest @bsky.app

@neillyneil.bsky.social Was just checking out your profile after the job ad and it's wild reading your profile about how you can't form mental images etc. Being deaf myself, I have no auditory memory, so audio-based language like English is hard - I use visual mental images like reading etc to do it
