At what point do we admit that acutally this is not suprising at all because it's happened every time they've done a UBI trial? "Oh look, it's the same result as all the other trials. That's surprising." "Yes, isn't it? I think we should do another trial somewhere else, you know, just to see."

"Untrue, impossible, & ableist": We join @autisticadvocacy.org in condemning HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s ignorant, absurd promise that “by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures.” autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/trum...

You can’t “try harder” your way out of disability. Yoga and touching grass won’t cure chronic illness. The hospital won’t magically fix you. It’s not a vacation. We didn’t choose this existence. No one asked our permission. It’s one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

3m UK households will be hit by disability/incapacity benefit cuts. Sick/Disabled will be made ‘invisible’. Loss of benefits will “erase some of the most vulnerable people” from the system; increase poverty & homelessness; threaten survival. Oppose the cuts. Tax the rich.

For anyone in the UK watching this and thinking, "This is America's version of Brexit," it's not. It's what would have happened if the lettuce had lost.

Some days I really hate that no matter how elaborately I plan or design systems for myself, ADHD finds a way to make mistakes even with a thousand failsafes in place

Asking Martha Wells and the Murderbot folks very politely to turn Sanctuary Moon into a round robin spinoff where a whole bunch of unlikely writers/actors/directors get to each do a wild and bonkers episode.

You weren’t “high-functioning.” You were masking. You weren’t “coping.” You were dissociating. You weren’t “fine.” You were in burnout. They praised your performance. But never saw the cost. You deserved care. Not applause.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Obviously this will not be reported by mainstream media (which is at root responsible for this), a group of trans people were attacked for having a peaceful gathering in Manchester.

Please stop saying "During COVID." People are still dying from this virus. People are still becoming disabled from it and contracting Long COVID. People are still not able to access the world and healthcare safely because of this virus. During COVID is right now.

I saw my first Wheatear of the year yesterday on nearby Bodmin Moor, where they nest amongst the rocks - often in the same sites as previous years. Here's Lisa Hooper's stunning 'Wheatear, Quendale Bay' to celebrate! More of Lisa's stunning artwork, here: hoopoeprints.co.uk #birds #art #birdart

Said it before on twitter but if you're signing up for someone's patreon on iOS please DO NOT use the patreon app, just use a web browser instead The iOS app charges an extra fee that goes right into apple's pockets IN ADDITION to them placing a 75 day hold on the money before we even get it
