Autonomous Press changed their shipping system and now my book Neuroqueer Heresies ships from my hometown, which means that now when people order their copies direct from the publisher I can autograph them.

"Pathology lite complements the now well-known concept of neurodiversity lite. It highlights equally risky ways that scientific discourse and practice can subtly reinforce harm against neurodivergent people"

In We See Things They’ll Never See, Chantelle Jessica Lewis and Jason Arday show how neurotypical hegemony reproduces a culture of exclusion—and how to overcome this with love, hope, and solidarity.

Rappelons que sans le barrage républicain, LR & ses candidats auraient été totalement essorés en juillet 2024.

Eux, les principaux bénéficiaire du réflexe républicain (sur 45 duels avec l'extrême droite, 38 gagnés).

Refuser aujourd'hui (& demain ?) de faire barrage à l'extrême droite en dit long.
Législative partielle dans le Tarn-et-Garonne : Bruno Retailleau refuse de faire barrage à l’extrême droite
Malgré le soutien affiché de Bruno Retailleau, venu animer un meeting vendredi soir à Montauban, le candidat LR n’a pas réussi le pari de se qualifier.

Don’t confuse an autistic person’s "negativity" for pessimism. It’s pain. What you’re seeing is a reaction to disrespect, mockery, and constant misrepresentation in the media. We’re not negative we’re exhausted from having to defend our humanity 👌🏽 our f’ing existence ♾️

"Eating meat is a personal choice" translates to "accept my choice to pay for the corpses of abused animals."
