I have got behind with my follow backs, so please be patient while I catch up. Sometimes I add people to lists, rather than following.

I just did a search on Google for "autistic musicians" and was a bit surprised to see them include Nikola Tesla, Bobby Fischer, Emily Dickinson and others in their list. I didn't know they also had musical talents (or in some cases, were even autistic).

Prog 1 of 2000AD went into orbit, on this day in 1977, and the change it caused in the world of comics, and my understanding of them, was irrevocable. Happy anniversary, old friend.

Do any of the people I follow here have blogs they update regularly? If so I'm interested in adding you to a "feed reader" channel here on Bluesky. Just respond to this post with the address of your blog. I can be a Substack or a Ghost site. As long as it has an RSS feed coming out of it. ;-)

One month ago, we publicly launched ASAU! And while we were excited to quickly gain voluntary recognition, we have been disappointed in ASAN’s leadership for disputing the inclusion of 3 of our members.

When an art critic talks about a previously neglected female artist, remember that they are also the one who ignored her.

More excellent research work by ICARS. They will be submitting it to the Education Select Committee’s “Solve the SEND Crisis” Enquiry.

If you have been on Bluesky for a while, you should visit clearsky.app and see which moderation lists you have been added to. Report any which seem malicious. These lists are a form of abuse and becoming more common. They appear useful but add innocent people to them so that they also get blocked.

Really important journalism especially given all the various puff pieces that overlook her shift towards open transphobia and islamophobia (am yet to see anyone write about the latter) over the last year or so.

Differences in communication mean that autistic women are often left out of the whisper networks which could protect them from predators. Make sure you include them.

Some people need alt text, others need content warnings. Think of content warnings as the alt text for people with PTSD.

Are there any tools for managing lists and starter packs (updating names) or going through followers and choosing who to follow back?

We still have a chance on this relatively new platform to change social media: stop answering rhetorical questions

There is still a long time until world autism month, but it's already clear that when it comes, the media will be more interested in telepathy than employment, diagnosis, or any of the other issues that the autistic community regards as important.
