New blog for the lovely national Autism Central team that I work with. This one, on autism and intersectionality. www.autismcentral.org.uk/news/blog-in...

The aim of the project? A world where autistic people and their loved ones can find joy.

I think that’s something worth aiming for.

Do you?

Some days I want to live in a hole in the woods and be a reclusive forest-witch.

Other days I want to take a bus to the city and dismantle capitalism one brick at a time.

This is why “what shall we do today” is a difficult question.

I listened to this today and it was the perfect thing to lift my day after a difficult week. Highly recommended!

A newly described fossil strengthens the case that more than 66 million years ago, western North America was home to two genera of tyrannosaurs at the same time: the larger apex predator Tyrannosaurus rex and a smaller predator known as Nanotyrannus. https://scim.ag/3XrHvrf

Christ that's shocking from Sky News. Someone fill in a prevent form for him we seem to take radicalisation seriously when its 13 year olds....
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Rumination is not hyperfocus.

Rumination is getting stuck in internal thought loops focused on our own self-criticism or distress. This can be intense or all-consuming, like hyperfocus,

but hyperfocus is often led by interest, reward, or urgency, not self-doubt, fear, or recrimination

I always thought that white noise didn’t do anything for me, but since I got a dehumidifier, I’m finding it much easier to concentrate while working. I can’t hear (or get distracted by) the random noises around me while it’s bobbling away.

Got to my exam (sitting it late because I couldn’t be there on Tuesday) this morning to find out they were going to have me sit it *in class* while the lesson went on around me. Cue a panic attack and an eventual move to another room…

In the game I’m playing, we’re mid battle against some evil cultists and plague priests who are kidnapping people.

In the game I’m running, the characters are in the woods, trying to communicate with a boar that they suspect was talking to other boars to find out what it was talking about.

A day up the scaffolding putting insulation panels on the outside walls of the house before winter gets underway. Productive, but tiring! The view is a definite plus. 🇵🇹

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

What started out as a simple question of “how far does a wagon travel in a day” has turned into a historical learning lesson. None the simpler for miles-to-kilometre conversions and conflicting thoughts on what is normal. Comparing to AD&D 2e (amongst other systems) for a sanity check feels odd.

There is an urgent need for culturally competent, community-rooted support that affirms difference, celebrates stimming, and recognizes disability as culture—not deficit.

Authenticity is our purest freedom. Stimpunks combines “stimming” + “punks” to evoke open and proud stimming, resistance to normalization, and the DIY culture of punk, disabled, and neurodivergent…
