You are fucked in the head if you don’t vaccinate your kids because you’d rather have a dead kid than an autistic kid. -an autistic kid

"insert facepalm gif" HOW. DO. YOU KEEP. DROPPING. THE. BALL. BBC?! I've nothing against Remember Monday being the act at all - but they being leaked by their own broadcaster is stealing their moment from the ones stood alongside them which is just baffling and careless

To the #Canon enthusiasts out there: how do you rate the EOS RP? I think it might be one of my next upgrades once the time comes.

If you're curious about the new profile picture: I took a some self-portraits using a Nikon Coolpix P520 on aperture priority with a fill flash - in broad daylight - on top of a tripod. The sensor's tiny and the aperture only went down to f/3.6 at that focal length - but I was trying, goddamnit!

Staying up late to try out #Flashes was worth it! The app works like a dream and I especially like being able to jump to any feed I like, so I can really explore what's out there.

This is possibly the most life-affirming Guardian Blind Date in quite a while, and it reminds me so much about why I love this column in the first place! Here's to the future, Gráinne and Alex!

[Re-upload] I went down to #Upminster Windmill today. I've been waiting a while to get the perfect shot - southerly winds, ergo the sails pointed to the sun, and reasonable weather to boot. Here we are! 📸 #Canon EOS 40D • 28mm • f/8 • 1/160 • ISO 100 #Photography #London #LandscapePhotography

7/ Neurodivergent people are only valued when they’re “useful.” Society celebrates autistic “geniuses” & ADHD “creatives,” but if we’re struggling? We’re seen as burdens. The pressure to either be exceptional or disappear leads to despair. We deserve support, not just when we succeed, but always.

I was going through my Google Photos library and I unearthed this killer shot I took from a #Budapest taxi window back in July. Look at the motion blur off the tram! Killer. 📱 iPhone SE 2020 #Photography #PhonePhotography #Hungary

At my #autism job club this weekend, I mentioned my assumption that whenever I mention reasonable adjustments to interviewers, they're going to think I'll be really bothersome. I was told that's internalised #ableism. And the more I think about it, the more I realise what I've internalised. [🧵]

I really enjoyed this video from @bernadettebanner.bsky.social which demonstrates how check the quality of clothes before buying them, without looking at the price tag.

As Ireland has its national selection for #Eurovision tonight, who's ready to embrace RTÉ Player's inability to keep up with a million people trying to access the #Eurosong stream?

I went to the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in #London earlier today. There were quite a few interesting photographs that I enjoyed taking different ideas from: compositionally, conceptually, politically, and so on. [🧵 1/3] #Art #Photography

Still back on when I went over to Greenwich Peninsula for #LunarNewYear: I love how warm these red and orange tones look! An internet friend of mine says the pictures feel like a vintage commercial. 📸 #Canon EOS 300V, 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 🎞️ #Kodak #ColorPlus 200 #FilmPhotography #Food
