Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.
Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

As if CR's subs arent bad enough. Also just heard that season 3 of One Punch Man has got some blatant AI in its visuals (we're talking extra fingers and everything)
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

I hear this everyday, and such is the danger of this “expert advice” of “just rest and engage with special interests and you’ll be good”.
No.
Burnout isn’t caused only by pushing too far. It’s about not having too many needs go unmet.
We need to slowly reveal more needs and have them fulfilled.

What do you even do if your autistic burnout is so bad and has lasted for like EIGHT YEARS and doesn't get better no matter how few activities I do and how much self-care I do? The only advice is just "rest and self-care" but that ISN'T WORKING HOW DO I FIX MY BRAAAAIINNNN

Autism + 6 month wait for NHS appointment + turning up at the wrong location = violent meltdown in hospital reception, 5 concerned nurses and a free ride to the correct location, apparently

My book Ramping Up Rights aims to arm disabled people with our history and how we fought, so that we can still fight today. The gov and media want disabled people to feel isolated, because we are so strong when we come together - and that terrifies them.

I would like it very much if people could please stop calling our administration “psychotic”
people experiencing psychosis are generally MUCH nicer & far less dangerous than this administration
It hurts some of my favorite people’s feelings &/or is unfair to them
thank you in advance 🫶🏻

The EHRhas sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.
The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

I would like to point out that the Royals protected him for YEARS, paying his legal fees with taxpayer money etc. They didn't remove this powerful predator "immediately" by any stretch of the imagination.
America should take Britain’s lead: remove powerful predators from places of influence immediately.
Virginia Giuffre identified more than Andrew in her memoir. Many of the men are Americans, still in offices or positions of power and influence.
It is past time for transparency.

I've always said that I HATE being in education but it turns out that I actually LOVE learning. School was a traumatic hellscape for me that destroyed my potential interest in so many things. Its taken decades to begin to undo that negative association.
Joy. That's what is missing way too often from the current discourse on learning and education. I don't mean being overtly happy all the time, nor having endless fun at school (as if!), but an underlying belief that learning can be a joyful, engaging process, not just stuffing more into your memory.

Yesterday, trans people got executive ordered out of existence. Feels like 30 years of progress just got tossed out the window. (So in that spirit, this is a photo of me at SF Pride literally 30 years ago.) Trans women threw the first brick at Stonewall. Sounds like we’re gonna need more bricks.
