A strange blend of autism policy analysis and silly Doctor Who discourse. Probably not helping the stereotypes. Views my own. She/Her. https://linktr.ee/mindtheflap

STOP comparing London railway termini

St Pancras is MAJESTIC
Waterloo is GIANT
King's Cross is ADVENTUROUS
London Bridge is SHINY
Liverpool Street has MANY CONNECTIONS
Victoria is CONVENIENT
Euston
Paddington is HISTORIC
Marylebone is COSY
this is hilarious but also the number of takes I've seen that *are basically exactly this* is wild

Like, I didn't wear headphones or carry stim toys when I was the target Barbie demographic, but knowing that *some autistic people do*, and why, would have been a game-changer

Thinking about how when I was a kid autism was talked about as "Weird Behaviours affecting others" so (even diagnosed) I knew *nothing* about my sensory needs & built up a ton of anxiety disorders instead.

And how much progress we've made since to be concerned about sensory tools as a *stereotype*.

The new Barbie comes with a range of accessories to reflect her status as an autistic woman, such as:
- noise-cancelling headphones
- a fidget spinner
- intense social media scrutiny about how she's Being Autistic Wrong

My poem 'The Commuter' has just been published in BRAWL!

I'm very proud of this poem. It's about the dystopian future we seem to be careening towards in the US.

Grim substantive content aside: plans being leaked to the press first, during Parliamentary recess, exclusively to paywalled newspapers where most affected families would only see a headline, on *New Year's Day* when many charities and support services are in Christmas shutdown, is infuriating

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Visualising a universe where Russell Tovey occasionally emerges from the sea to take his abandoned child out for a McDonald’s meal.

The staff sigh as they fill a barrel-sized paper cup with water for Tovey to slosh in, used to the routine.
