Very happy to be doing this training again! It's especially handy for small voluntary and unfunded groups

Had a great time at Joy for All, sold a decent amount but still have a lot left so I will have to get listing...

We've just released an accessible, web-based version of our report 'Still Complicated', which explores Bi+ experiences of accessing services and support, and how this can be improved. You can read it here: www.equality-network.org/assets/still...

A lot of older, richer people seem to want to go back in time. I think we should consider that while they may be reactionaries, it could also just be that nostalgia you get for days when your knees didn't hurt so much.
(Yes, it is raining a lot and yes, ow)

My mother (90) went to a VE day "celebration" where they made all the old people eat food from war time recipes. She says the Woolton Pie, white blancmange and tinned peaches was the worst meal any of them had ever eaten even during the war.

Being autistic means I can hyperfocus on crafts and varient sudoku and Jetpunk quizzes etc for ages. Sadly it doesn't neccessarily make me any better at doing those things :-)

Why yes I am autistic number what are we at now? No Mr Tesco, there is no such time as 03:00pm - what are you even on?

Why yes I am autistic number 18 in an occasional series - I hate it when Google says it is $famous personage's 115th birthday or whatever, because you can't have birthdays after you die. (You can have anniversaries, but they aren't birthdays.)

All of the wonderful speakers at our first Autistic Research Lightning Talks event generously agreed to let us record and share their talks.

Featuring @yesthattoo.bsky.social , @kmunday.bsky.social, @purplerabbits.bsky.social and others!

If you use slides on Zoom etc please help subtitle users by leaving space at the bottom so subtitles so don't cover the text of your slides. Actually test them with subtitles on while you speak and you'll see what I mean.

I met someone today who said: "I don't get any time away from my screen because I am my own boss", and I really wanted to say "You're also your own employee, so you need to agitate for those rights because otherwise your job WILL break you."

Help me do my job right!

Why yes I am autistic number 17 in an occasional series - I love the quizzes on Jetpunk and the like, but I hatehatehate quizzes that start "can you guess the answers" I'm not guessing, I KNOW!

By far the most sensible suggestion I've seen on the NHS Ideas For Change site from the 1250 contributions to date...

I recently turned 58 and I don't like it. 57 is a much nicer number as everyone who is me knows. 2 is the best number, followed by other prime numbers under 100, especially if they end in 7, followed by a few select number with good factors (12, 27) 58 is nothing special and it makes me sad

Look. I care about climate change a lot. I'm close to a single-issue voter on the subject!

But we have GOT to stop worrying about what are, in the scheme of things, rounding errors. I hate, hate, hate this kind of personal-responsibility climate stuff, it's deeply counterproductive.

The thing is, most people are morally lazy at best. Victory is achieved by making the right thing to do more attractive. So yes, people rushing to condemn Israel because not doing so because they are afraid they will be embarrassed if they don’t is good, actually.
