We must not assume progress is linear, or even in the direction we assumed. I am sorry that so much time and energy has been wasted this time. But I also know this is a group that isn’t going anywhere, and it has a long memory. Stay frosty.

In the ancient times I posted on Neurotalk, a bulletin board that prohibited swearing 🤬 Swearing resulted in a ban. Asking why people had been banned? Believe it or not, also banned. So when we drafted the code of conduct for PatientsLikeMe, cussing (but not abuse) was just fine. 👌

Updating my pinned 🧵 : I'm not active on Twitter anymore, so I'm rebuilding the #migraine and #MigraineChat community here. A few ways to connect.... The original MigraineChat feed stopped working, so like and pin this one. It works the same.

#BIPOC voices are often missing from autistic spaces, so here is a BIPOC starter pack! 😊 go.bsky.app/TtXfpAt #racialequality #antiracism The image of autism as “only white boys” leads to underdiagnosis, discrimination & isolation for many Our autistic community is much more diverse than that! ❤️

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they can talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

Bluesky has meant I can quit Threads easily enough. Facebook and IG are my last remaining contacts with ex coworkers, distant friends, relatives, and of course whatever the village is up in arms about. Of course I could just call people on the phone, or meet up with them, like some sort of maniac

Academic clinicians, I’m preparing a report on why professionals need more than 2 years training to be competent and safe. I’d welcome suggestions of articles on the complexity of clinical knowledge and how it is acquired. Thanks if you can recommend any (I have my own obvs). #medsky #academicsky
