Funny innit? The risk of misdiagnosing a single neurotypical person is worth dragging each and every ND person back to the 90s where they were 'difficult,' 'thick' or 'disruptive'

Something something "it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."

Meanwhile, after finally getting a diagnosis after 18 months on a waiting list, I never actually got to being prescribed anything because of the amount of hoops to jump through. Including the need for a heart test, which was only available in working hours at a hospital that was out the way...

Quite weird to hear BBC News describe Jason Arday as “the black professor accused of plagiarism”. Is every story about a white professor going to include the relevant adjective?

Sorry everyone, I’ll stop dismantling US imperial hegemony now, my bad

I have a feeling that the people who constantly post about “American imperial hegemony” are going to discover they really don’t like a world without American imperial hegemony

I’m qWHITE sure the press and right wing pundits will be less interested in this for some reason.

Tip for top education journalists: Dr James Orr of Cambridge University's Faculty of Divinity's 'Key publications' list include "Being and Eternity: Phenomenology and Thomism in Edith Stein (Bloomsbury, forthcoming 2022)." Bloomsbury's online catalogue lists no such item. Time to do some hunting?

there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

Apparently the unacceptable bit is not that 24 people died

The images coming from Ceuta are unacceptable. We cannot allow anyone to come to our Union without abiding by our rules. Dangerous crossings must stop immediately. Smuggling networks must be dismantled. And returns must be swift, as our rules allow.

Private Eye tells me that How Green Was My Valley is one of Andy Burnham’s favourite books. Oh dear. I write a PhD on 1930s Welsh mining novels, including a whole chapter on Llewellyn’s work. I even read the terrible sequels. It really, really isn’t a story of working-class solidarity etc.

Slaughtering civilians like animals! That's the actual face of the police the progressive libs think will protect us from ICE.

Cops just executed someone in Madison, WI Situation is unfolding but the cops are in full damage control mode. Local organizations are rallying. Picture is frames before the crime. You can see the perpetrator pointing their gun at the victim who is restrained and is on the ground.

Google requires twelve people to test your app before you can release it. The issue I'm encountering, Google, is that even Jesus didn't have twelve friends. I hate to ask for email addresses, so: remember Google Groups? Please come join my group ❤️ Free things, clock apps, other stuff, favor to me

OK.

I am hearing on his deathbed Lindsay Graham received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

Ann Widdecombe’s dead and I’m still gay. So I won that one.

Many might think this is a joke but this is literally UK politics right now, today. For those who don't know Anne Widdecombe, she's a spiteful right-wing bigot who would like the death penalty brought back.

On Newsnight, Kay Burley intervenes during a discussion about survivors - out of nowhere - to say we "should accept that" Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor "was a war hero". Genuinely has to be seen to be believed 👇

According to the most rigorous studies, 10.8% of college men perpetrate at least one rape before graduation. This statistic always comes to mind when I see men in power reacting with disgust to the idea that one of their peers could face even a shred of accountability.

I am tech support to the bone and do not like to mystify computer stuff but I genuinely believe in my heart of hearts that printers have demons in them. There is literally no other explanation.
