A study of nearly 2.5 million children in Sweden last year found no causal link between exposure to paracetamol and the risk of autism.

What the data says, in some ways, won't matter. Trump, RFK Jr and all of the MAGA lot have no vested interest in truth and they never have.

The autistic community have been here before, with the pervasive myth that vaccines caused autism.

Do you know what that caused? Dead children, killed by preventable diseases because people were so scared of their children becoming autistic, or otherwise subjected to ‘cures’ like drinking bleach.

The decision by M&S to apologise to transphobes legitimises their bigotry and essentially tells all staff and customers they are not safe in their stores.

Transphobes won’t be happy until trans people are eradicated from public life and will punish them for doing their jobs effectively, even

His wife was recovering from an operation and he needed to get some bras that she could wear while she recovered. I remember really worrying for him as a customer that because of anti trans sentiment he might be put at risk.

People ask me how I'm managing my hypermobility.

So far, I've been told:

- 'you're not even hypermobile' from every male physio, rheum who was a woman was aghast
- 'you're just drug seeking' by the pain management nurse
- 'have you tried going on the pill?'
- 'have you tried losing weight?'

Yes - paperbacks pretty much always come out a year after hardback and I'm currently working on the edits

Soz. Opposite of a holiday read 😂

Thank you Nic! Please leave a review in the usual places if you haven't already :)

It should now be fixed!

Starting Pansy Studios a month ago was such an exercise in proving that actually, I am exceptionally good at what I do.

Just because LGBTQ+ talent (and indeed disabled talent) like me is being systematically deprioritised and devalued, it doesn't mean my work is lesser.

Anyway, hire me. I'm ace.

I say it all of the time but if you need a problem solved, ask a disabled person. We're full time problem-solvers because an inaccessible world is a full-time problem.

I never see it on screen, except in a 'disabled people have superpowers' way. We don't, we're just adept at fighting injustice.
