This is a huge issue. It took me ages and ages to be confident in ear defenders / sunglasses / sensory friendly clothing due to bullying when I was a kid. (From kids and adults). It’s an avoidable issue by normalising this stuff in schools.

🧵 Erm. Slightly dark topic This was me as a kid. I was forced to take ADHD meds, I hated them. I stopped being me It’s part of how i ended up in foster care. At ~12 I was given an ultimatum. Take the meds. Or be sent away Not a lack of love. A lack of support for my parents + a broken system 1/3

Very comfy and cosy in bed this morning. But awake and bouncy. So I’m splitting the different and writing code on my phone in bed… each time it commit the code it auto deploys to a preview server for me. Not the fastest way to code. But heck it’s comfy :) Will escape to desk in a bit.

While I’m at it… This is another example of living as myself & celebrating what it means to be a Jamie Sod what’s ’age appropriate’ Life works so much better when we start with ‘assume Jamie is 5’ & build from there It’s a good way to predict my reaction to things & what support I’ll need. 🚀

Hehe. Resharing a reply cause I realised I’d never put these pics together before. My friend makes amazing birthday cakes! Here’s the birthday cakes from the last four years :) Always a joyful moment. Last year he said not to expect much. ‘It’s just a plain cake this year”… plane shaped!

Ooo. I didn’t explain why it works! I sit with my legs hooked on the front of the seat, so my tailbone floats off of the back. Hold the top for uprightness. Spacing has to be perfect to get the angles right. To close I fall sideways. To far my sides hurt. Also strong enough not to bend or shift.

Accessibility folks… what’s your approach for marking up definitions in document context? Marking up a legal agreement at the moment. Normally I’d use definition lists (semantic!) but SR experience is kinda naff in long document. Not a barrier likely to exclude but curious what other folks do :)

My friends are amazing. We randomly stumbled on a bench I could sit on a few months ago. The spacing & position fits just perfectly. They tracked down the supplier and clubbed together to buy one for my birthday! It’s made from recycle plastic with bright colours! Love it so much. :)

vocal opposition to democratic gerontocracy is nifty because it serves a constructive purpose — passing the torch — and a political one: signaling independence from The Democrats.

the amount of discrimination that OF artists (and all sex workers tbh) get is ridiculous - they can get locked out of financial services, travel, sometimes other forms of employment, payment processors, now elite sports apparently? It’s WILD, and it can follow you even when you retire!

I love how third way dipshits label me an extremist for... checks notes Citing an Olympic funded scientific study showing trans women do not have an unfair advantage in women's sports.

What's this... Another racing game with audio driving assist cues? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, as the saying goes! I certainly am very pleased to see more games including #accessibility and am very interested to see how this works in practice!

Democrats remain vulnerable to the right's framing on an endless series of ginned-up moral panics. Dems' instinct is always to meet the right halfway on whatever bullshit they've cooked up. This is a result of not have their own policy platform beyond diet fascism and slightly less corruption.

Did ADHD meds rather ‘late’ today at 6:45am, then dozed for about a hour Not what I planned to do… but oh well. If it works, it works :) Having a very disjointed week, lots of random things popping up & lots of distractions Embracing it & surfing the wave of stuff rather than trying to fight it

Two random thoughts… - I’ve had more creepy sexual advances on LinkedIn than Grindr. - I’m aware it’s a massive safeguarding issue! I’m mega careful and have lots of safety stuff set up for the super rare times I meet anyone from there. True for any platform etc

Social media stuff is funny. I’ve been back on Grindr 24 hours & I’ve already had half a dozen chats about neurodiversity things Grindr is remarkable as a place for hyper local connection & community The hookup stuff is a big thing, but there’s so much more to it. Its an interesting adventure :)

They're walking this back. And they're walking it back because in the sober light of day they strongly suspect the EHRC guidance is unlawful - and if they follow it they will get sued. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Eeee. Lots of love for one of my GAAD clients this year! They just sent me a heap of feedback they received after the talk. Starting my day with a big smile. It also reminds me I’ve got to go update my website! Add all my recent things :) Much woosh this morning!

"In the Who Cares Era, the most radical thing you can do is care. In a moment where machines churn out mediocrity, make something yourself. Make it imperfect. Make it rough. Just make it." I want to add: If you truly care about people, you automatically put care into your actions and works. Care.

We brought a little HDMI DVD player last year for watching back through a couple of TV shows we have on disc. We love the ‘slowness’ In terms of watching a few episodes at a time. The only slowness than annoys us is the unskippable BS at the start.

My day started weird. Woken up by 10-15 seconds of intense chest pain. Just as I started to act & start trying to find phone it stopped. Not sure if it happened or I dreamed it. What the heck. Feel totally normal now. Have told friends.
