I’ve never paywalled my articles because I know many of my readers are on disability & can’t afford it.

I’m in a terrible situation with my housing and may need to ask for help.

What’s the best way to do this? Paywall? Wish list? Go fund me?

Would folks be bothered by a GFM in lieu of a paywall?

The fact that we are debating whether it’s ok that Trump calls female reporters “piggy”, “ugly” and “stupid” shows just how far we’ve fallen.

This shouldn’t be up for debate.

These women are doing their job and don’t deserve to be abused and demeaned for it.

Talking about tough tasks… I have to do some legal stuff that will involve exposure to extremely personally traumatising material…

and I haven’t been anywhere near this task, cos I’m terrified, yet.

Maybe I need a support person to do the writing for me? Is that a thing?

Universities hope that by offering honorary degrees to prominent people, they will generate lots of publicity for their institutions, akin to free advertising

🔹Whilst some steps are being taken reiterating the Delivery Plan when the debate was centred on the serious failures of the Delivery Plan is not enough.

🔹Yet @tessamunt.bsky.social stating she would hold the health ministers "feet to the fire" in follow up was encouraging.

🔹It's clear though that the Government still needs to go further to meet the urgent & inhumane treatment of #pwME

🔹We need clear commitment of funds & systemic processes initiated.

Healthcare is a basic human right.

Food is basic human right.

Education, housing, clean air & water are human rights.

Using healthcare and food as leverage should be grounds for removal from office.

SNAP, Medicaid and the ACA are worth fighting for.

People will die without them.

5- When combined and looking at the correlation between all of these and past waves, it looks like COVID is still quite active in the US in spite of what we are led to believe.

This is a very deft thread. A concise precis of our conversation on conservatism, capitalism, and disability

1) Interesting interview of Prof. Brian Hughes by David Tuller.

In his new book Hughes argues that psychology is not woke but that its methods are essentially conservative because it focuses on an individualistic view and ignores social context.

Not only is Tom Hanks protecting his own health, by masking up he’s protecting everyone else on public transit.

Many people taking the subway don’t have paid time off.

They don’t have the good healthcare someone like Hanks can afford.

Masking is community care.
When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..

“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”

More celebrities need to speak out like this.

1️⃣ 🧵 NEW: The government’s Keep Britain Working report claims to tackle the UK’s crisis of ill health & economic inactivity.

But it never mentions Long Covid.
Not once.
Not the pandemic either.

That’s not a small oversight — it’s a fundamental flaw. Let’s unpack why 👇

Well, now, look what arrived in the post...

Delighted to share that my new book on psychology and the culture wars has now been published.

Writing it was a long, at times depressing, but ultimately satisfying journey for me. I hope you like it
