Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues. 1. Cutting disability benefits 2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance. 3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap .... 🧵

Decided to play the Spectres in Ravenwood. They're on Hallowed Grounds lot trait. I know the power is supposed to cut off randomly but it has been several days (in game) & it's never back. Is it normal or a bug? #TheSims4 #LifeAndDeath #TheSims

We hear "reform is a protest vote" in the UK, like we hear "FN (now RN) is a protest vote" in France. Why the fuck is a protest vote always for the far right? Why not protest e.g., Green? Protest vote always seem to come with othering & hate, never with more care for others & life around.

Pandering to far right never works. Yet Labour does. Of course Reform gets councils. Instead of being proud to reduce the "unsustainable" welfare system by shitting on disabled, bring proud of deportation number, still supporting genocide, Labour should try to genuinely help those having the least.

Recently finished "The Silmarillion" (my 1st time), in awe. Of course I'm back with the Hobbit then it'll be LotR again. It was ages since I'd been into that world. Unsure when I'll come out yet. #Tolkien #BookSky

Tolkien's notion of evil can be summed up pretty simply: the domination of others. Stripping away their freedom and their will, forcing them to do yours instead. So whatever his authoritarian fans might think, their actions are, in fact, textbook Tolkienian evil. #TolkienTuesday #TolkienTrewsday

Closing out Autism Awareness / Acceptance / Celebration / Demands Month heading into May I want to remind you: Autistic people are born Autistic because their genetic parents have enough Autistic traits. that's it! so if you say "cure" we hear "kill" & self-identified autism is VALID because:

Got ECG results. Good news: QT is OK Other news: possible ischaemia, so GP writing to cardio & recommends not starting ivabradine until we know for sure what's what. I'll pass on the results to Dr Taylor when I have the copy. Likely will wait before trying meds. #MEcfs #POTS

It sounds like the HHS has walked back their discussions of an autism registry this just means we have more time to advocate against the eventual desire to install such a registry and maybe also dismantle the pathology paradigm a little bit...? (too lofty, maybe) stay ready, my friends.

✅ hey, alt text is super helpful to include even if it's vague, please consider using it every time because it's not kind to leave people out. there's actually a button that helps you make it mandatory to either include it or actively dismiss the warning. Thanks for your consideration!

Some bad news for people living with #MECFS. Under the 2026 "passback", the "reorganization" of HHS and CDC would cut all ME/CFS funding from CDC. I think this is a 'scoop', since I'm unaware of anyone having reported on it, yet. Let's talk about what a passback is, and what it means for us. 🧵🧪

script for healthcare providers & staff: I would like to understand how our organization plans to handle demands for information regarding trans, migrant, queer, and neurodivergent patients. What is the policy if we are asked for records or information by ICE or other agencies? How do we respond?

If you have Autistic patients, no you don't 👏🏻👏🏻 If you make autism diagnoses, no you don't 👏🏻👏🏻 If you really really care, Neurodivergent clients are not there If you have Autistic patients, no you don't 👏🏻👏🏻

Can’t decide which photograph I like more. 🐸 Also, I was confused whether this was a very brown Green Frog or a Wood Frog. Feel free to make an educated guess! ☺️

I only had a split second before this Painted Turtle jumped in the water, but I kinda like how the photo turned out! 🐢 Photo probably needs a bit of editing but I am too excited not to share it immediately.
