The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

I want to read this but I'm in UK right now and when I click on link it says "Unavailable due to UK online safety act." Is that safety from fascism? From knowing *about* fascism?

I realize I'm not at all the target demographic here but sabrina carpenter looks like a 75 year old closeted gay guy's idea of what a woman is supposed to look like

In fairness, asphyxiation has proved highly effective in terminating all these conditions.

So much of my life I've been reserved and and a consequence I was quite lonely. Being diagnosed with ADHD last year helped me understand why my brain is like this, and I've come out of my shell & met some awesome ppl. But I still feel isolated sometimes, so feel free to say hello! #ADHD

"Our results also highlight the societal and environmental factors that contribute to loneliness in autistic people, such as a perceived lack of acceptance of autistic differences."

"Perceived"?!! 😤😐

I enjoyed Gemma Williams's introduction to our research/theory paper on Autistic flow states with @brettheasman.bsky.social, @drlornaham.bsky.social‬ and others, and the podcast we recorded talking about it:

To everyone who ever said I didn't "look autistic", know that I'm constantly running
ActLikePeopleExpect.exe in my brain, am not always aware I'm doing it, and it's eating up at least 60% of my RAM.
It's also the reason for a lot of CPU overheating..🙃

Join me in London for my seminar on autistic meltdowns, shutdowns, and burnout.

What they are - how to navigate them with grace - how to grow from them while honouring yourself.

I dunno I just think it's insane that they expect you to just sit in one place for an extended period of time at work, what if I wanna curl up in a ball for 1 hr what's wrong with that, huh? #neurodiverse

Currently off work and I don't wanna go back. ADHD, hormones are making it hard for me to figure out what the next step is in jobs because my head feels like spaghetti 😓 #adhd

the anti-vax movement has killed so many children and andrew wakefield should have spent the last 25 years rotting in a british prison

at the time he released his 'mmr causes autism' nonsense he was involved with a competing vaccine. rarely gets mentioned

now he's in the us & a close friend of rfk

I ended up on swifty TikTok and the comments are absolutely killing me. "9th grade slam poetry", [a photo of boiled chicken], "album for cop wives", "If Taylor wrote this that's bad, if ChatGPT wrote this that's worse, and if Travis wrote this I'm actually kind of proud of him".

I just found this lovely book on self-care for people with autism. It’s called Self-Care for Autistic People, and it’s by Dr. Megan Anna Neff. You can read the first chapter on Amazon (Kindle). If you do like it, it’s currently reduced to £8.11 at Awesome Books, with free P&P in the UK (hardcover).

I'm in the luteal phase which is basically me descending into the depths of hell 😓

Created blue skyb to post my experiences with ADHD but I'll probably ended up doom scrolling >_<
